date Twig Filter
The date filter formats a date in the given format. See the date formats page for allowed date formats.
{{ post.publishedOnTimestamp|date('m/d/Y') }}The date filter accepts a timestamp, a string or the special "now" string.
The "now" string represents the current timestamp. To output the current date you could do:
{{ "now"|date('F d, Y') }}If the value passed to the date filter is null or not set then the filter will use the current date. If you need an empty string if the date doesn't exist then use the ternary operator.
{{ mydate is empty ? '' : mydate|date('m/d/Y') }}Arguments
