javascript - Format Moment.js am/pm to include periods/dots

Question

I'm running into a small formatting issue with moment's a input.

a/A will return AM/am PM/pm but is there a way to format this to include periods?

I.E. a.m. p.m. it's a format change that is important to the client and I haven't been able to find the fix with moment's documentation

I've tried

moment.updateLocale('en', {
    meridiem : {
        am : 'a.m.',
        AM : 'A.M.',
        pm : 'p.m.',
        PM : 'P.M.'
    }
}); 

With no success

Is it possible?

The method you used to customize the meridiem applies to versions < 1.6.0. You should provide a function in newer versions to update meridiem. Please see the docs for more info:

moment.updateLocale('en', {
  meridiem: function(hour, minute, isLowerCase) {
    if (hour < 12) {
      return 'a.m.';
    } else {
      return 'p.m.';
    }
  }
});
