add ability to have formatting pipe, {{=it.now|formatDate}}

[venelin-mihaylov]

I want/need to have a formatter pipe in the template, like this:

{{=it.now|formatDate}}

Which should pass the it.now value to a formatDate() function

Can you please point me, how I might be able to hack that into dot.js ?
Thank you

Check out v2 beta - it’s has syntax {{fmt! it.now}} and some other good stuff - check the release notes

So effectively old syntax for escaping HTML was extended to format data in arbitrary way (and HTML escaping is not enabled by default - it has to be added).
