``date``
========
.. versionadded:: 1.6
The date function has been added in Twig 1.6.
.. versionadded:: 1.6.1
The default timezone support has been added in Twig 1.6.1.
Converts an argument to a date to allow date comparison:
.. code-block:: jinja
{% if date(user.created_at) < date('-2days') %}
{# do something #}
{% endif %}
The argument must be in one of PHP?s supported `date and time formats`_.
You can pass a timezone as the second argument:
.. code-block:: jinja
{% if date(user.created_at) < date('-2days', 'Europe/Paris') %}
{# do something #}
{% endif %}
If no argument is passed, the function returns the current date:
.. code-block:: jinja
{% if date(user.created_at) < date() %}
{# always! #}
{% endif %}
.. note::
You can set the default timezone globally by calling ``setTimezone()`` on
the ``core`` extension instance:
.. code-block:: php
$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader);
$twig->getExtension('core')->setTimezone('Europe/Paris');
