I success to change language (ionic 3).

1. do install moment npm install --save moment
2. in module do import in NgModule file:

    import { MomentModule } from 'angular2-moment';
    import 'moment/locale/vi';

I use this to change the language in angular 4 application:

import * as moment  from 'moment';
moment.locale('ru');

I'm using it, but amDateFormat doesn't respect locale....

[alberthoekstra]

Agree, it doesn't respect that...

[sebitoelcheater]

any plans to implement this functionality ?

@urish I sent the PR #187 a while ago. Now with the change of the build process the same problem occurs and it could probably solved in a similar way. Tested only locally, but if you move moment from the dependencies into devDependencies it should not install moment as own dependency so it uses the global one and you can set the local with in a more natural way with

import * as moment  from 'moment';
moment.locale('de');

We fixed it temporarily with with the postinstall in the package.json

scripts: {
...
    "postinstall": "yarn run fix-moment",
    "fix-moment": "rimraf ./node_modules/ngx-moment/node_modules/moment",

Then

import * as moment  from 'moment';
moment.locale('de');

works again

[urish]

I think the best solution would be to have moment as a peerDependency, WDYT @wachri ?

[wachri]

With the previous version this hasn't worked, but now this should be the solution :).

[urish]

released as 3.0.0

[thienedits]

@urish Locale still not working properly in 3.1.0. Doesn't seem to change until the next change detection.

[bnfrnz]

In 3.3.0 still not working for me. With angular2-moment everything worked. With ngx-moment it does not.

Edit:
Never mind! It was an issue with app-script or webpack. Got it to work. My bad.
