Today hijri date with Native Internationalization in Javascript

To get the current hijri date in javascript, I use Intl.DateTimeFormat

To get the arabic display :

new Intl.DateTimeFormat('ar-TN-u-ca-islamic', {day: 'numeric', month: 'long',weekday: 'long',year : 'numeric'}).format(Date.now());

the expected output :

> "الثلاثاء، 15 جمادى الآخرة 1440"

or in french language :

new Intl.DateTimeFormat('fr-TN-u-ca-islamic', {day: 'numeric', month: 'long',weekday: 'long',year : 'numeric'}).format(Date.now());

the expected output :

> "mardi 15 joumada ath-thania 1440"
