How to set locale in DatePipe in Angular 2

Question

I want to display Date using European format dd MM yyyy but using DatePipe shortDate format it only display using US date style MM dd yyyy   I m assuming thats the default locale is en US  Maybe I am missing in the docs but how can I change the default locale settings in an Angular2 app  Or maybe is there some way to pass a custom format to DatePipe

As of Angular2 RC6  you can set default locale in your app module  by adding a provider    NgModule     providers          provide  LOCALE ID  useValue   en-US       replace  en-US  with your locale       otherProviders             The Currency Date Number pipes should pick up the locale  LOCALE ID is an OpaqueToken  to be imported from angular core   import   LOCALE ID   from   angular core     For a more advanced use case  you may want to pick up locale from a service  Locale will be resolved  once  when component using date pipe is created       provide  LOCALE ID    deps   SettingsService          some service handling global settings   useFactory   settingsService    gt  settingsService getLanguage      returns locale string     Hope it works for you

With angular5 the above answer no longer works   The following code   app module ts   NgModule     providers          provide  LOCALE ID  useValue   de-at       replace  de-at  with your locale       otherProviders             Leads to following error      Error  Missing locale data for the locale  de-at     With angular5 you have to load and register the used locale file on your own   app module ts  import   NgModule  LOCALE ID   from   angular core   import   registerLocaleData   from   angular common   import localeDeAt from   angular common locales de-at    registerLocaleData localeDeAt     NgModule     providers          provide  LOCALE ID  useValue   de-at       replace  de-at  with your locale       otherProviders             Documentation

This might be a little bit late  but in my case  angular 6   I created a simple pipe on top of DatePipe  something like this   private  regionSub  Subscription  private  localeId  string   constructor private  datePipe  DatePipe  private  store  Store lt any gt       this  localeId    en-AU     this  regionSub   this  store pipe select selectLocaleId        subscribe  localeId  string    gt          this  localeId   localeId     en-AU              ngOnDestroy        Unsubscribe    transform value  string   number  format   string   string     const dateFormat   format    getLocaleDateFormat this  localeId  FormatWidth Short     return this  datePipe transform value  dateFormat  undefined  this  localeId       May not be the best solution  but simple and works

Starting from Angular 9 localization process changed  Check out official doc  Follow the steps below   Add localization package if it s not there yet  ng add  angular localize As it s said in docs    The Angular repository includes common locales  You can change your app s source locale for the build by setting the source locale in the sourceLocale field of your app s workspace configuration file  angular json   The build process  described in Merge translations into the app in this guide  uses your app s angular json file to automatically set the LOCALE ID token and load the locale data   so set locale in angular json like this  list of available locales can be found here        quot  schema quot    quot   node modules  angular cli lib config schema json quot      quot version quot   1     quot newProjectRoot quot    quot projects quot      quot projects quot          quot test-app quot            quot root quot    quot  quot          quot sourceRoot quot    quot src quot          quot projectType quot    quot application quot          quot prefix quot    quot app quot          quot i18n quot              quot sourceLocale quot    quot es quot                             quot architect quot              quot build quot                quot builder quot    quot  angular-devkit build-angular browser quot                            quot configurations quot                  quot production quot                                                  quot ru quot                    quot localize quot     quot ru quot                               quot es quot                    quot localize quot     quot es quot                                                 quot serve quot                quot builder quot    quot  angular-devkit build-angular dev-server quot              quot options quot                  quot browserTarget quot    quot test-app build quot                          quot configurations quot                  quot production quot                    quot browserTarget quot    quot test-app build production quot                              quot ru quot                   quot browserTarget quot    quot test-app build ru quot                              quot es quot                    quot browserTarget quot    quot test-app build es quot                                                                             quot defaultProject quot    quot test-app quot     Basically you need to define sourceLocale in i18n section and add build configuration with specific locale like  quot localize quot     quot es quot    Optionally you can add it so serve section  Build app with specific locale using build or serve  ng serve --configuration es

If you use TranslateService from  ngx-translate core  below is a version without creating a new pipe which works with switching dynamically on runtime  tested on Angular 7   Using DatePipe s locale parameter  docs    First  declare the locales you use in your app  e g  in app component ts    import localeIt from   angular common locales it   import localeEnGb from   angular common locales en-GB         ngOnInit         registerLocaleData localeIt   it-IT        registerLocaleData localeEnGb   en-GB        Then  use your pipe dynamically    myComponent component html     lt span gt    dueDate   date   shortDate         translateService currentLang    lt  span gt    myComponent component ts     constructor public translateService  TranslateService

I ve had a look in date pipe ts and it has two bits of info which are of interest  near the top are the following two lines      TODO  move to a global configurable location along with other i18n components  var defaultLocale  string    en-US     Near the bottom is this line   return DateFormatter format value  defaultLocale  pattern     This suggests to me that the date pipe is currently hard-coded to be  en-US    Please enlighten me if I am wrong

Solution with LOCALE ID is great if you want to set the language for your app once  But it doesn   t work  if you want to change the language during runtime  For this case you can implement custom date pipe   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            Now if you change the app display language using TranslateService  see ngx-translate   this translateService use  en      the formats within your app should automatically being updated   Example of use    lt p gt     note created-at    translate  date  note createdAt   localizedDate     lt  p gt   lt p gt     note updated-at    translate  date  note updatedAt   localizedDate  fullDate      lt  p gt    or check my simple  Notes  project here

Ok  I propose this solution  very simple  using ngx-translate  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   any       const date   new Date value        const options     weekday   long                     year   numeric                     month   long                     day   numeric                     hour   2-digit                     minute   2-digit                     second   2-digit                              return date toLocaleString this translateService currentLang  options
