Format data based on locale

Angular provides the following built-in data transformation pipes. The data transformation pipes use the LOCALE_ID token to format data based on rules of each locale.

Use DatePipe to display the current date

To display the current date in the format for the current locale, use the following format for the DatePipe.

{{ today | date }}

Override current locale for CurrencyPipe

Add the locale parameter to the pipe to override the current value of LOCALE_ID token.

To force the currency to use American English (en-US), use the following format for the CurrencyPipe

{{ amount | currency : 'en-US' }}

NOTE: The locale specified for the CurrencyPipe overrides the global LOCALE_ID token of your application.
