Moment Js Get Name Of The Day In Different Language

I am trying to get the name of the day in French using Moment.js moment('01-06-2018').locale('Fr').format('dddd') This returns 'Saturday' whereas I want to get the name of the day

Solution 1:

Please make sure you have imported fr locale and do not use moment(String) with non ISO 8601 inputs, use moment(String, String) instead.

As locale docs says:

By default, Moment.js comes with English (United States) locale strings. If you need other locales, you can load them into Moment.js for later use.

In the browser, you can use both moment/locale/fr.js (French localization) file or use moment-with-locales.js file that includes each locale setting supported by moment, see moment docs for other environments.

Here a live sample:

console.log(moment("01-06-2018", 'MM-DD-YYYY').locale("fr").format("dddd"));

Solution 2:

You need to make sure the proper file is included.

moment("01-06-2018").lang("Fr").format("dddd");

var res = moment("01-06-2018", 'MM-DD-YYYY').locale("Fr").format("dddd");
console.log(res);
