Get locale format with momentjs

I am trying to recover the date format according to the location. For example, if I use moment.locale('fr') retrieve "DD/MM/YYYY" or retrieve "YYYY/MM/DD" with moment.locale('en'). As you can see, I use MomentJS for my date management.

Is there a MomentJS function to recover the format?

moment.localeData().longDateFormat('L') // "MM/DD/YYYY"

and

moment.localeData('fr').longDateFormat('L') // "DD/MM/YYYY"

seems better

What I was looking for was:

moment().creationData().locale._longDateFormat.L

I found the answer thanks to Aprillion. Thanks!

I had the same issue, I get a more sophisticated way to solve this problem, just with:

moment().format('L')

Instead of this verbose solution with eslint warning:

moment().creationData().locale._longDateFormat.L
