I have a website with multiple languages done in Next.js. Next.js provides several methods to get all the locales, here are the following:
{locale} // current locale in use 'es'
{locales} // all the configured locales in an array [ "en", "de", "es", "ja", "ru" ]
{defaultLocale} // if no locale provided, will use en
Then in my code, i have this date-fns method to get the distance in days for a given date i get from my createdAt value.
// my import languages
import { es, de, ja, en, ru } from 'date-fns/locale';
<BodyOne>
This category was funded{' '}
{formatDistance(new Date(category.createdAt), new Date(), {
locale: locale,
})}
</BodyOne>
This gives me the following error:
RangeError: locale must contain formatDistance property
I don't understand why, this works:
{
locale: es,
})}
But this one with the variable locale doesn't.
{
locale: locale,
})}
if I create a new constant, let's say:
const myCurrentLang = es;
it works, but if I output:
const myCurrentLang = 'es';
I get the error: RangeError: locale must contain formatDistance property
Maybe i need to convert the 'es' value to other type in order to make date-fns work.
the thing is formatDistance is waiting for a namespace
and you're trying to send a string
as a parameter. When you declared const myCurrentLang = es;
it works because es is referring to date-fns/locale's namespace...
Hope it helps
