he-IL Hebrew locale incorrect date format Angular 4

Question

Using angular 4 date pipe to format dates. For he-IL (Hebrew) locale I see the data format as dd.mm.yyyy instead of dd/mm/yyyy

Not sure why this discrepancy?

Answer 1

Add this to your pipe:

| date:'d/M/yy':'UTC+6'

Answer 2

I recommend using toLocaleDateString() in your case:

var date = new Date().toLocaleDateString('he-IL');
console.log(date);
date = date.replace(/\./g, '/');
console.log(date);
