`format_date`¶

New in version 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 req twig/intl-extra

Then, use the twig/extra-bundle on Symfony projects or add the extension explictly on the Twig environment:

use Twig\Extra\Intl\IntlExtension;

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