[](https://github.com/kipcole9/cldr_lists/blob/master/LICENSE)
## Introduction and Getting Started
`ex_cldr_lists` is an addon library for [ex_cldr](https://hex.pm/packages/ex_cldr) that provides localisation and formatting for lists.
The primary api is `Cldr.List.to_string/2`. The following examples demonstrate:
```elixir
iex> Cldr.List.list_pattern_styles_for "en"
[:or, :standard, :standard_short, :unit, :unit_narrow, :unit_short]
iex> Cldr.List.to_string(["a", "b", "c"], locale: "en")
{:ok, "a, b, and c"}
iex> Cldr.List.to_string(["a", "b", "c"], locale: "en", format: :or)
{:ok, "a, b, or c"}
iex> Cldr.List.to_string(["a", "b", "c"], locale: "en", format: :unit)
{:ok, "a, b, c"}
iex> Cldr.List.to_string!(["a", "b", "c"], locale: "en", format: :unit)
"a, b, c"
```
For help in `iex`:
```elixir
iex> h Cldr.List.to_string
```
