ComboStrap - Date Component

With the date component, you can format any date:

• the today's date
• any string date
• or any page date attribute such as:
  • date_created or date_modified of a page
  • date_published (if specified, see The published date)
  • date_start or date_end of an event

• The markup

<date/>

• The output is a date formatted to the default format.

Thursday, 29 September 2022

<cache expiration="@daily"/>

• Today's date with a short month description and the day number US style

<date format="%h %d"/>

• The output:

Sep 29

• The markup with the lang attribute

<date lang="fr"/>

• The output is a date formatted with French word.

jeudi, 29 septembre 2022

• When you specify a date, you need to write it in a accepted date format

<date format="%A">2021-09-27</date>

• The output gives the day name of the date (ie %A)

Monday

With a template component, you can even print a date metadata of a page.

• For instance, for the published date of this article

<template>
    <date>$date_published</date>
</template>

• The output will be:

Sunday, 26 September 2021

• For the today's date

<date format="formatValue" lang="langValue"/>

• When specifying a date value

<date format="formatValue" lang="langValue">dateValue</date>

where:

• format is any format accepted by the strftime function
• lang is a lang value
• dateValue is:
  • one of the accepted date format
  • or any page date metadata.
