twigHow to format a date using PHP and Twig?

Using PHP and Twig, you can format a date in a variety of ways. The following example code block will output the current date in the format of "Month Day, Year":

{{ "now"|date("F j, Y") }}

Output example

July 15, 2020

The code block consists of three parts:

1. {{ "now"|date("F j, Y") }} - This is the Twig syntax for formatting a date. The "now" part is the date that you want to format, in this case the current date. The date() part is the Twig filter that formats the date. The "F j, Y" part is the format that you want to use.

2. F - This is the format for the month. F stands for full textual representation of a month, such as January or March.

3. j - This is the format for the day. j stands for day of the month without leading zeros, such as 1 or 15.

4. Y - This is the format for the year. Y stands for a full numeric representation of a year, such as 2020.
