Converting English Months to French in ACC

Avatar

Level 2

hey!

First run at ACC here, and trying to convert the current date into French months:

 

<%= formatDate(new Date(), "%D %Bi %Y") %>,

 

So instead of 20 July 2020, i would it to say 20 juillet 2020

Hello @cslackl1 ,

 

You can use moment.js in your workflow to achieve this.

 

Just download the moment.js library (from here). Then upload it in Administration > Configuration > JavaScript Codes

 

Then in your workflow you can use this code.

loadLibrary('NAMESPACE:moment.js');
var myDate=formatDate(new Date(), "%D %Bi %Y");
var frenchDate=moment(myDate, 'DDD MMMM YYYY', 'fr');

More Information on date formatting is available here: https://momentjs.com/docs/#:~:text=moment(%2212%2D25%2D,valid%20dates%20over%20invalid%20ones.

Let me know if that works.

Hey Jonathon, Thanks!
Hey! My problem is the correct syntax, as i am new to eJS (coming from Freemarker) i cant seem to get it right:

 

<%= formatDate(toLocaleDateString('fr-CA), "%D %Bl, %Y") %>

 

Doesnt seem to work, but chances are im not coding it correctly.

Use the below, remove any js libs installed for this:

<%=
new Date().toLocaleDateString('fr-CA', {
  year: 'numeric',
  month: 'long',
  day: 'numeric'
});
%>

Thanks,
