datetimeformat (datetime, format='medium', locale=None)

To format a proper date (this is created by the datetime type) into a string this filter can be used. It will automatically format based on the language used by the current context which is based on the locale of the current alt.

A different language can be provided with the locale parameter.

The following formats are locale specific:

In addition to that format codes from the CLDR project can be used. For more information see CLDR Date/Time Symbols.

Examples

<p>Date: {{ this.pub_date|datetimeformat('full') }}

Or with custom CLDR format strings:

<p>Date: {{ this.pub_date|datetimeformat('yyyyy.MMMM.dd GGG hh:mm a') }}
