To establish a default language for all material components within your Angular application, follow these steps:
Within your app module, import MAT_DATE_LOCALE and LOCALE_ID along with the registration function, and specify the desired locale (e.g., Dutch in this case):
import { MatNativeDateModule, MAT_DATE_LOCALE } from '@angular/material/core';
import { registerLocaleData } from '@angular/common';
import localeNl from '@angular/common/locales/nl';
import { LOCALE_ID } from '@angular/core';
Next, proceed to register the selected locale:
registerLocaleData(localeNl);
Finally, provide the new locale:
providers: [
{ provide: MAT_DATE_LOCALE, useValue: 'nl-NL' },
{ provide: LOCALE_ID, useValue: 'nl-NL' }
]
By following these instructions, all material components within your application will utilize the specified language setting.
