how to get system locale?

[luckydrq]

Is there an api in node for retrieving system(default) locale info? Other language such as java does have a way to do so which is something like java.util.Locale.getDefault().

According to issue #4689, it seems that node needs to bundle v8-i18n to provide such a way. BUT that would make node become too massive. Is it a reason or do i miss something?

I made a module for this: https://github.com/sindresorhus/os-locale

v0.12 already includes i18n on by default in binaries. v8-i18n is obsolete (merged into v8). See #7676 or more importantly the wiki.

Will update more.
