Get week day in portuguese language from date in moment js

Question

This is my code

$scope.getWeekDayShort = function(date) {
                moment().locale('pt-br');
                return moment(date, "D_M_YYYY").format('ddd');
            }

it returns name of weekday in english but need portuguese weekday name

If I pass 1_1_2015 it returns Thu

How can I get weekday name in portuguese?

EDIT

moment.locale('pt-br');
console.log(JSON.stringify(moment.months())) // ["janeiro","fevereiro","março","abril","maio","junho","julho","agosto","setembro","outubro","novembro","dezembro"]
moment.locale('en');
console.log(JSON.stringify(moment.months())); // ["January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December"]

I have included moment-with-locales.min.js file which includes all supported language data and it work good with upper code. So why it not works with week name ?

Have you loaded a locale for this? By default, Moment.js comes with English locale strings. If you need other locales, you can load them into Moment.js for later use. Make sure that you use moment+locales.js – Loredo

Answer 1

Try this (source):

moment(date, "D_M_YYYY").locale('pt-br').format('ddd')

Might be worth it to log an issue on the GitHub page, I think your code should work or the docs should be improved.
