You can format dates using the `format` method:

use Shafayat\DateFormatter\DateFormatter;

// Format a string date
echo DateFormatter::format('2024-01-01', 'short'); // Output: 01/01/2024

// Format a DateTime instance
$date = new \DateTime('2024-01-01');
echo DateFormatter::format($date, 'long'); // Output: January 01, 2024
```

### Default Format

[](#default-format)

If no style is specified, the `default_format` from the configuration will be used:
