MomentJs: Having to import each moment locale for all possible languages?

Question

After having some problems getting momentjs localized date formats to work properly, I happened upon a thread that correctly stated that the target moment locale resource would have to be imported, e.g., for French (fr):

import 'moment/locale/fr';

and indeed this works. However this would would imply that the module I'm coding using moment would have to explicitly import every moment locale module? If so, this implies that the code would have to be touched every time a new locale is supported? This would't seem right.

I'm hoping for a better solution for this.

Answer 1

Usually the list of supported application languages is limited, so it's unreasonable to load all available Moment locales because of increased footprint.

Moment package contains prebundled locales for this purpose. E.g:

import moment from 'moment';
import 'moment/min/locales';

Or:

import moment from 'moment/min/moment-with-locales';
