question about months name

[peymanebrahimi]

Hi,
This is not an issue.
I have a question:
What is the use cases of

extend(getPrototypeOf(moment.localeData()),
    { _jMonths: [ "Farvardin"
        , "Ordibehesht"
        , "Khordaad"
        , "Tir"

Because of an issue in angular material 2 datepicker, if your library could set months name in the above code just to Persian names as moment's locale data, it may help on mentioned issue.
Thanks again.

Hi,
What is the problem with the following code?

moment.locale('fa').format('jMMMM');

As you helped me with this nice and concise function of returning weekDayNames:

    getDayOfWeekNames(style: 'long' | 'short' | 'narrow'): string[] {
        switch (style) {
            case 'long':
                return jmoment().localeData().weekdays().slice(0);
            case 'short':
                return jmoment().localeData().weekdaysShort().slice(0);
            case 'narrow':
                return jmoment().localeData().weekdaysMin().slice(0);
        }
    }

Is there any similar way to returning months name?
I need a consistent way, by calling localeData()
return jmoment().localeData().months().slice(0); // must return Persian names

Hi,
you could use the following code

moment().localeData()._jMonths.slice(0);
moment().localeData()._jMonthsShort.slice(0);
moment().locale('fa').localeData()._jMonths.slice(0);

[peymanebrahimi]

no such functions or properties in typescript.
_jMonths is not available on localeData()

[fingerpich]

I will fix it in next version
but for now you can cast and use it

(moment().localeData() as any)._jMonths.slice(0);
