Description
I am using the localized format plugin to display dates using `L` which in English Locale is `MM/DD/YYYY`. Is there a way to get that placeholder to display in the datepicker? For example I would like that to switch to `DD/MM/YYYY` if someone is using our app in Denmark.
Not sure if this is a thing already or if someone could point me in the right direction.
In moment it looks like they have something to solve this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37036929/how-to-get-date-format-from-locale
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the localized format plugin and how locale data is exposed for the `L` token. Compare the requested behavior with the linked Moment.js example and determine an API for retrieving a locale-specific placeholder, including the Denmark `DD/MM/YYYY` case. Done means the localized format can provide a usable placeholder and the behavior is covered by tests.
