Moment.js get date format for input field of input field

Question

I am using moment.js in my application. When the user logs into the application, their locale is set:

moment.locale(userLocale);

I want to add a placeholder to the input field that represents the expected date format, depending on the user's locale:

<input type="text" placeholder="dd/mm/yyyy" />

Is there a way to get the string 'dd / mm / yyyy' from moment

?

You can access the language function via

var currentLocaleData = moment.localeData();

You can then get the full format of the abbreviated date and time formats using the method longDateFormat()

:

var format = currentLocaleData.longDateFormat('L');

Try:

moment(new Date()).localeData().longDateFormat('L').toLowerCase()
