+# Format A List Of Items By Locale
+
+The `Intl` module includes a [`ListFormat`
+object](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/ListFormat)
+which can be used to format a list of items in a consistent way across locales.
+
+I've reinvented the wheel of writing a helper function numerous times across
+projects for formatting a list of items that accounts for formatting based on
+how many items there are. This built-in function handles that with the added
+benefit of working across locales.
+
+Here are lists of three, two, and one items formatted in the `long` styles for
+US english.
+
+```javascript
+> const formatter = new Intl.ListFormat('en', { style: 'long', type: 'conjunction' });
+undefined
+
+> formatter.format(['Alice', 'Bob', 'Carla'])
+'Alice, Bob, and Carla'
+
+> formatter.format(['Coffee', 'Tea'])
+'Coffee and Tea'
+
+> formatter.format(['Taco'])
+'Taco'
+```
+
+The difference between `long` and `short` style for a `conjunction` is _and_
+versus _&_. In addition to the type`conjunction`, you could also use
+`disjunction` which will do an _or_ instead of an _and_. I'm not sure what
+you'd use the `unit` type for.
+
+You could use another locale, such as French, as well:
+
+```javascript
+> const formatter = new Intl.ListFormat('fr', { style: 'long', type: 'conjunction' });
+undefined
+
+> formatter.format(['café', 'thé'])
+'café et thé'
+```
