Any+Time: i18N of day and month abbreviations from moment.js

I'm using the time / date picker Any+Time (jQuery-Plug-In). Additionally moment.js for time manipulation. Instead of moment.js the Any+Time plug-in does not support different languages directly.

For moment.js there additional files to support other languages including the abbreviations of months and days. So I want them to reuse.

Solution

  • After setting the language globally in moment.js:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/lib/moment.min.de.js"></script>
<script>
     moment.lang("de");
</script>

    I an instance of an moment object to gather the abbreviations while initializing the datepicker:

    <script>
    var $moment = moment();
    $('.datepicker').AnyTime_picker({ 
        format: "%a %d.%m.%Y",
        dayAbbreviations: $moment.lang()._weekdaysShort,
        monthAbbreviations: $moment.lang()._monthsShort
    })
</script>
