Intl support

[sassomedia]

I'm in the process of converting am4 to am5 charts and one thing we heavily depend on is Intl support. I don't see this currently documented or supported in am5 and when I try something equivalent to the code in am4:

chart.dateFormatter.dateFormat = { month: "short", day: "numeric" };
chart.dateFormatter.intlLocales = userLocale;

none of this works in am5:

root.dateFormatter.set("dateFormat", { month: "short", day: "numeric" }); // "dateFormat" only supports Strings
root.dateFormatter.set("intlLocales", userLocale); // "intlLocales" is not an available setting on "dateFormatter"
root.locale = am5locales_en_US; // this seems to only be for manually imported locales

I hope I'm missing something or maybe it's just not part of the beta but will be in the release version, yes?

We don't have Intl support, yet. But we plan to add it. Will keep you posted.

Sounds good, thanks for the confirmation!

Implemented in 5.0.0-beta.29.

[5.0.0-beta.29] - 2021-10-01

Added

• Wherever date or number format can be set (DateFormatter, NumberFormatter, DateAxis, ValueAxis, Exporting) it can now be set as Intl.DateTimeFormatOptions (for date format) or Intl.NumberFormatOptions (for number format) object in additional to string-based format. More info.
• New list type ListAutoDispose added.

Changed

• XYCursor will now ignore mouse movement if chart is obstructed by other element, unless zoomin/panning.
• series, xAxes, and yAxes on an XYChart are now ListAutoDispose, which means that removing items from those lists will automatically dispose them. Set autoDispose = false on those lists if you are planning on removing and reusing items.

Fixed

• Sunburst nodes were shown on drill-down when they were not supposed to in some cases.
• Hierarchy node elements were ignoring templateField.
• It was impossible to move XYChart scrollbars to some other container.
• Fixed memory leaking when scrolling LineSeries, and when disposing series or other items.
• XYCursor was not firing selectended event if behavior was set to "selectX", "selectY", or "selectXY".
• XYCursor was hiding selection when when behavior was set to "selectX", "selectY", or "selectXY".
• SerialChart.series.clear() was not working properly.
