Localized measurement units for time scale?

Hi,

is it possible to have localized moment.js patterns for the time units for the time scale (Chart.js V2.0)? Currently, the configuration of time unit patterns (for hour, day, week etc.) are stored in a local variable in the ‘TimeScale’ object, line 25ff. in file ‘scale.time.js’. Unfortunately, they are not really suitable for countries that don’t use the anglo-american style of a time expression. E.g. in Germany we don’t use ‘am’ and ‘pm’ because we’re using the 24h clock here.

It would be cool if it’s possible to overwrite the patterns using the options for the time scale, e.g.

options: {
...
                scales: {
                    xAxes: [{
                        type: 'time',
                        time: {
                          measurements: {
                            day: '< custom moment.js pattern >'
                          }
                        }
                    }]
                }
            }
...
}

Kind regards

@wwillms try setting

options: {
    scales: {
        xAxes: [{
            type: 'time',
            time: {
                displayFormat: '<custom moment pattern>'
            }
        }]
    }
}

It’s no ideal (since you need to know the unit) but its a start.

@etimberg Wow, that was really fast, awesome! I’ve just integrated that into our project and it works perfectly. Using that configuration:

displayFormats: {
    second: 'HH:mm:ss',
    minute: 'HH:mm',
    hour: 'MMM D, H[h]'
}

Thanks a lot, mate!
