Browse the formatters that convert a selected value into text in a Smart String.
A formatter converts the value produced by the sources into its final text, applying logic such as pluralization, lists, or conditional output. Apply a formatter explicitly by name, or omit the name to let a formatter that supports automatic detection apply implicitly. The following formatters are available, and you can add your own.
| Formatter | Description |
|---|---|
| Choose formatter | Picks an output by matching the value against a set of options. |
| Conditional formatter | Picks an output based on the value’s type and value. |
| Default formatter | Converts the value with ToString and the active culture. |
| Is Match formatter | Picks an output based on a regular expression match. |
| List formatter | Formats each item in a list, with separators. |
| Null formatter | Picks an output based on whether the value is null. |
| Plural formatter | Picks a word form based on a count and the culture’s plural rules. |
| Sub string formatter | Extracts a substring of the value. |
| Template formatter | Applies a reusable named template. |
| Time formatter | Formats a TimeSpan, or the time since a DateTime or DateTimeOffset, as localized text. |
| Create a custom formatter | Write your own formatter. |
