Moment.js - I can't change the date to "pt-br" (ReactJS)

Question

I'm making a calendar in Portuguese on ReactJS.

Despite being something simple, I'm not able to change my library date "moment.js" to be in the portuguese language (brazil).

Already tried code:

<strong>{moment(currentDate).locale('pt-br').format('LLLL')}</strong>

But I don't work, it keeps bringing the date in English.

1:

This is the date format code:

const [currentDate, setCurrentDate] = useState(new Date())

<Col>
 <strong>{moment(currentDate).format('LLLL')}</strong>
</Col>

How do I make the date stay in Portuguese(Brazil)?

Answer 1

I just decided to import the location:

import 'moment/locale/pt-br'

and add code:

moment.locale('pt-br')

Answer 2

I have tried to use 'pt-br' like this:

import 'moment/locale/pt-br'
import moment from 'moment'

and it was not working in a React project with Typescript.

I got to fix it this way:

import 'moment/dist/locale/pt-br'

Just add the folder 'dist' while you're importing the language. I hope everything works accordingly.
