i18n-ize the DateTimeHandler using IntlDateFormatter

[nlaplante]

It would be very nice if the serialization process would output dates and times formatted according to the configured application locale using PHP's IntlDateFormatter class (or datefmt_ family of functions).

I'm trying to use the javascript library DateJS in its french locale but it cannot parse the date strings generated by the JMSSerializerBundle on DateTime fields.

This may be relevant. #153 #153

Indeed it is. Do you think formatting according to locale should be done on the client side or it would be better to have it handled server-side while having access to PHP's and Symfony,s builtin i18n functionality?

You can register your own handler for datetime objects which converts them to the desired format.

In the latest version, you can also configure the format via @Type("DateTime<'format'>").

Thanks I'll have a look at this!
