Error when loading locale on Angular using angularx-flatpickr

Question

Added the locale to directive on angular component:

<input
type="text"
name="date"
mwlFlatpickr
[altInputClass]="'form-control'"
[(ngModel)]="post.date"
[altInput]="true"
[inline]="true"
[dateFormat]="'d.m.y'"
[locale]="'Portuguese'"
[defaultValue]="'today'"
[convertModelValue]="true">

When trying to load the locale, the erro is returned:

Error: flatpickr: invalid locale Portuguese

Answer 1

On your module.ts file, import all necessary files, create a function named flatpickrFactory, and import the language correspondent to your language (All languages files are here)

import { FlatpickrModule, FLATPICKR } from 'angularx-flatpickr';
import flatpickr from 'flatpickr';
import { Portuguese } from 'flatpickr/dist/l10n/pt';

export function flatpickrFactory() {
  flatpickr.localize(Portuguese);
  return flatpickr;
}

Now, on your component.ts import flatpickrFactory(); to your ngOnInit() method.

ngOnInit() {
  flatpickrFactory();

  // Your other logic here...
} 

And in your component.html (templateUrl), add the directive, like this example:

<input 
  type="text" 
  mwlFlatpickr 
  [(ngModel)]="selectedDate" 
  [altInput]="true" 
  [dateFormat]="'d.m.y'"
  [locale]="'Portuguese'"
  [convertModelValue]="true">
