Note from js template - supporting locale

[mighty1231]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, setting locale via dayjs is done by using require('dayjs/locale/ko'), as the document says as this

dayjs-changing-locale. or dayjs-changing-locale-for-locally

but js-template seems not support this

1. Putting require() gives Template contains potentially unsafe code... error.
2. Just using dayjs().locale('ko').format('YYYY-MM-DD (dd)') gives 2025-08-19 (Tu), but I want to see '2025-08-19 (화)`

Describe the solution you'd like

Importing every dayjs's locale dependency to foam? but it may make foam extension size SO high.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I think, evaluating dd for locale, seems easy in Javascript, via adjusting 7 tokens using switch-case or Map. Put this related information as js note template's comment, another user may not upload this kind of issue.

Thanks @mighty1231 , I see the issue you are describing.

As you correctly pointed out, preloading all the locales is not great, I won't be going down that route.

Another option could be to, in the end, allow require usage in the template. The reason for not enabling it is to provide some sort of protection for the users of the template, but in the end if someone is running a JS file on their machine there is only so much that can be done (and we also only enable JS templates if the user trusts the workspace).

As a workaround, have you considered implementing the mapping that you suggested as an alternative? It's not ideal, but also a fairly quick, localized and straightforward workaround.

I didn't fully understand what you mean by dd for locale.

Leaving this open for yours and other people's thoughts

I mean use const dd = '일월화수목금토'[today.get('day')]; const expr = dayjs().locale('ko').format(`YYYY-MM-DD ($(dd))`). Thank you for your interest.
