Question / Feature request regarding localized time format

See original GitHub issue

This may be possible, but I couldn’t find it in the docs. I would like to display a time in a users locally preferred format—either 24h or 12h with am/pm. I tried localizedFormat with ‘LT’, but that gives me 1:36 PM in the UK, where the preferred time format is 24h (as returned by new Date().toLocaleString().

Is there a way to show a time either as HH:mm or h:mm a depending on the user’s locale / machine preferences?

For what it’s worth, in my use case, using native JS Date objects rather than dayjs is probably the right answer:

d.toLocaleTimeString(undefined, { hour: 'numeric', minute: 'numeric', timeZoneName: 'short' } )

gives exactly the output I’m after in all locales tested so far.

Another plugin? I must admit I had thought that’s exactly what LocalizedFormat was supposed to do…
