Loading locale in NodeJS

Loading locale on demand.

require('dayjs/locale/de')
// import 'dayjs/locale/de' // ES 2015 

dayjs.locale('de') // use locale globally
dayjs().locale('de').format() // use locale in a specific instance

You can also load and get the locale object for further use.

var locale_de = require('dayjs/locale/de')
// import locale_de from 'dayjs/locale/de'  // ES 2015
