date

Converts a timestamp into another date format. The format for this syntax is the same as strftime. The input uses the same format as Ruby’s Time.parse.

date works on strings if they contain well-formatted dates. To get the current time, pass the special word "now" (or "today") to date.

Input

{{ article.published_at | date: "%a, %b %d, %y" }}
{{ article.published_at | date: "%Y" }}
{{ "March 14, 2016" | date: "%b %d, %y" }}
This page was last updated at {{ "now" | date: "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M" }}.
