Nativescript-angular: Support for Angular 5 i18n APIs

[sis0k0]

Research if the new i18n tooling can replace the nativescript-intl package.

Any updates?

We really need this! Any updates??

I followed the approach suggested by @hettiger on this issue and the solution works. However, it can cause lots of problems, as he mentioned, whenever there's an update on that. I was wondering if someone has another idea in mind.

I tried replacing the ES6 import statement by the old require like require localeFr = require('@angular/common/locales/fr'); but it only works for iOS for some reason.

Hi guys, I found a solution to this issue.
I follow the answer from @hettiger on this issue and the approach suggested by @luanReis .

I tried maintaining the new "import" and don't change any file or position. I worked with italian but I think this will be the right solution for each language:

In my file app.module.ts I put the following code:

import { LOCALE_ID } from "@angular/core";
import  localeIt from '@angular/common/locales/it';
registerLocaleData(localeIt);

and in the same file as providers I wrote:
providers: [ { provide: LOCALE_ID, useValue: "it" } ]

Now it works perfectly. Hope this will be helpful
