NepaliDateFormatter

Parse and format SimpleDate for short numeric text-field input.

Use this when you have a raw YYYY/MM/DD-style string from a TextField and need a SimpleDate (or vice versa). For locale-aware long-form output ("Asar 21, 2082"), use NepaliDateConverter.formatNepaliDate(...) instead - this formatter is the primitive that backs NepaliDateTextField / NepaliDateField.

Supported Patterns are limited on purpose. A free-form DateTimeFormatter-style DSL is out of scope; the constrained surface keeps the masking and validation in the UI layer simple and predictable.

Pattern

enum Pattern : Enum<NepaliDateFormatter.Pattern>
