How to set locale in DatePipe in Angular?
To set locale in DatePipe in Angular, we can call DatePipe with the current locale.
For instance, we write
import { DatePipe } from "@angular/common";
import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from "@angular/core";
import { TranslateService } from "@ngx-translate/core";
@Pipe({
name: "localizedDate",
pure: false,
})
export class LocalizedDatePipe implements PipeTransform {
constructor(private translateService: TranslateService) {}
transform(value: any, pattern: string = "mediumDate"): any {
const datePipe: DatePipe = new DatePipe(this.translateService.currentLang);
return datePipe.transform(value, pattern);
}
}
to create the LocalizedDatePipe pipe class that has the transform method.
In it, we create a DatePipe instance with the current language we get from this.translateService.currentLang.
Then we call datePipe.transform with the value and pattern.
