console.log(dn.of('era')); // logs 'era'
console.log(dn.of('year')); // logs 'ano'
console.log(dn.of('month')); // logs 'mês'
console.log(dn.of('quarter')); // logs 'trimestre'
console.log(dn.of('weekOfYear')); // logs 'semana'
console.log(dn.of('weekday')); // logs 'dia da semana'
console.log(dn.of('dayPeriod')); // logs 'AM/PM'
console.log(dn.of('day')); // logs 'dia'
console.log(dn.of('hour')); // logs 'hora'
console.log(dn.of('minute')); // logs 'minuto'
console.log(dn.of('second')); // logs 'segundo'

Example using calendar as a type option, will return the localized calendar names strings.

const dn = new Intl.DisplayNames('en', {type: 'calendar'});
console.log(dn.of('roc')); // logs 'Minguo Calendar'
console.log(dn.of('gregory')); // logs 'Gregorian Calendar'
console.log(dn.of('chinese')); // logs 'Chinese Calendar'

Example using language as a type with languageDisplay options.

console.log(dnDialect.of('en-GB')); // logs 'British English'

// Using `standard` option
const dnStd = new Intl.DisplayNames('en', {type: 'language', languageDisplay: 'standard'});
console.log(dnStd.of('en-GB')); // logs 'English (United Kingdom)'
