dateformat

pub fn dateformat(
    state: &State<'_, '_>,
    value: Value,
    kwargs: Kwargs,
) -> Result<String, Error>

Formats a timestamp as date.

The value needs to be a unix timestamp, or a parsable string (ISO 8601) or a format supported by chrono or time. If the string does not include time information, then timezone adjustments are not performed.

The filter accepts two keyword arguments (format and tz) to influence the format and the timezone. The default format is "medium". The defaults for these keyword arguments are taken from two global variables in the template context: DATE_FORMAT and TIMEZONE. If the timezone is set to "original" or is not configured, then the timezone of the value is retained. Otherwise the timezone is the name of a timezone from the database.

This filter currently uses the time crate to format dates and uses the format string specification of that crate in version 2. For more information read the Format description documentation. Additionally some special formats are supported:

  • short: a short date format (2023-06-24)
  • medium: a medium length date format (Jun 24 2023)
  • long: a longer date format (June 24 2023)
  • full: a full date format (Saturday, June 24 2023)
