localization in runtime

[mdellanave]

Hi,
I found a strange beahvior after localization option update on already initialized date pickers,

Here you can try it
https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/tempus-dominus-qdxs8r

My question is, why is necessary to click two times on the idioma buttons to change both the pickers?
If i click for example the IT button only one time, than only one picker actually change.

any idea?

In the same example I noticed that the display date in the input text is not well formatted for IT idioma; it should be dd/MM/yyyy like it is in the locales/it.js file, instead of MM/dd/yyyy like the default en formatter .

Is it something to fix?

My guess is that useCurrent isn't taking the locale in to consideration. I am not sure why. I would take a PR if you want to try to resolve this. Otherwise, you're welcome to sponsor the issue, as I'm not longer actively working on this project.

uh no really?
I was planning to use this datepicker to update an old project to bootstrap 5 (it's based on bootstrap 4 and it uses tempusdominus-bootstrap-4) but if it's not manteined I have to think about it...
Do you have any valid alternatives to suggest?

The picker works well and has a lot of features, but people use without much thought of supporting my work. That's just the nature of OSS right now. I just decided that the picker is good enough and if people want support or new features, they can sponsor it. I just have other things that I want to work on these days.

Ok thank you @Eonasdan I will try to look at the code, if I find a solution I will give you some feedback than we'll see how to proceed

Hi @Eonasdan finally I found a solution without changes on the picker itself.
