Make it possible to convert to human-readable format.

[BESoft33]

A converter to a date in any format to a human-friendly format that displays the month's name in a format like Baishakh 1, 2081 or 1 Baishakh, 2081.

As far as I understood, you expected something like this

Unimplemented Prototype

const formattedDate = date1.format('YYYY-MM-DD'); // "2080-01-15"
const dateString = date1.StandardFormat().toString(); // "2080-Baishak-15" , "2080-15-Baishak" , "1-Baishak-2080"

There are multiple ways to represent the date, such as:

• Baishakh 1, 2081
• 2081 Baishakh 1
• 1 Baishakh 2081
• 2081, 1 Baishakh
• 1, 2081 Baishakh
• 1, 2081, 1
• and many other variations.

Given the sheer number of possibilities, it makes sense to stick to the initial standard format for consistency and to avoid confusion. Standardizing the format ensures better readability and uniformity across the application.

For example, you can format the date in a standard way:

const formattedDate = date1.format('YYYY-MM-DD'); // "2080-05-15"
const dateString = date1.toString(); // "2080-05-15"

You can still access the individual components like:

const year = date1.getFullYear(); // 2080
const month = date1.getMonth();   // 5
const day = date1.getDate();      // 15

Have you checked this if it shows the way you expected ? https://askbuddie.github.io/bikram-sambat/formating-dates/format

@ashiishme any thoughts on this issue or how can the issue be handled without ambiguities ?

Currently, the library has very limited option for readable date format in Nepali. As you shared the document link you can see we support only one format:

MMMM DD,YYYY // Chaitra 31,2080

But, I think what OP wants is to support more format than we have. Usually, these two Baishakh 1, 2081 or 1 Baishakh, 2081 are the standard date format used in Nepali and the format DD MMMM, YYYY is missing at the moment.

It's a good feature to have it in our library. Also, support with the Devanagari locale would be awesome but it can be another issue.

Btw, the other date formats that you have mentioned can be skipped as it's not the standard format used in day to day activity that will reduce unwanted effort.
