I'm working with localization of dates. There is a standard JS API:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toLocaleString#Using_options
But QML defines it's own Date:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtqml-date.html
The difference being the MDN refers to an "options" object, and Qt uses a
format string. With the update to a newer V8 engine, will we get the options behavior?
The QML Date type extends the JavaScript Date object. So, the locales/options variant of
toLocaleString() would have to be implemented in the JavaScript engine, which is not V8
but our own "V4". Be aware that the QML Date's toLocaleString() method hides
the JavaScript method of the same name in QML Date objects. So, in addition we'd have to
somehow autodetect the arguments format when the QML method is called.
regards,
Ulf
