format_date(dateFormat = "medium", pattern = "", timezone = null, calendar = "gregorian", locale = null)
is a Twig
filter to format a date. It behaves in the exact same way as
the format_datetime filter, but without the time.
The format_date filter is part of the IntlExtension which is not installed by default. Install it first:
$ composer require twig/intl-extra
Then, on Symfony projects, install the twig/extra-bundle:
$ composer require twig/extra-bundle
Otherwise, add the extension explicitly on the Twig environment:
use Twig\Extra\Intl\IntlExtension;
$twig = new \Twig\Environment(...);
$twig->addExtension(new IntlExtension());
- locale: The locale
- dateFormat: The date format
- pattern: A date time pattern
- timezone: The date timezone
- calendar: The calendar (Gregorian by default)
