`format_date`

2.12

The format_date filter was added in Twig 2.12.

The format_date filter formats a date. It behaves in the exact same way as the format_datetime filter, but without the time.

Note

The format_date filter is part of the IntlExtension which is not installed by default. Install it first:

        1
        $ composer require twig/intl-extra
    

Then, on Symfony projects, install the twig/extra-bundle:

        1
        $ composer require twig/extra-bundle
    

Otherwise, add the extension explicitly on the Twig environment:

        1
2
3
4
        use Twig\Extra\Intl\IntlExtension;

$twig = new \Twig\Environment(...);
$twig->addExtension(new IntlExtension());
