Examples
Default
By default, a timestamp will display the current date and time based on the current locale if the date prop is not passed in.
Basic formats
The format of the displayed content can be customized by passing in the dateFormat and/or timeFormat props. Passing in only one of the props will display only the date or time, depending on which prop is passed in. The possible options are "full", "long", "medium", and "short".
You can also pass in the displaySuffix prop to display a custom suffix at the end of the displayed content. This will not override a timezone that is already displayed from the applied time format.
Custom format
The format of the displayed content can be further customized by passing in the customFormat prop. Read datetime format options for a list of options that can be passed in.
Default tooltip
To render a tooltip that displays the timestamp content as a UTC time, you can pass in the tooltip prop with a variant of "default". The format of the default tooltip content will match the format of the timestamp content.
You can customize the suffix of this default tooltip variant by passing in suffix to the tooltip prop.
Custom content
To display custom content, such as a relative time or prefacing text, you can pass in content to the children prop.
When also rendering a default tooltip with the tooltip prop, you can pass in the dateFormat and/or timeFormat props to customize the tooltip content without affecting the custom timestamp content.
Custom tooltip
By passing in variant="custom" and content to the tooltip prop, you can display custom content within the timestamp's tooltip.
