date

Converts an argument to a date to allow date comparison:

{% if date(user.created_at) < date('-2days') %}
    {# do something #}
{% endif %}

The argument must be in one of PHP’s supported date and time formats.

You can pass a timezone as the second argument:

{% if date(user.created_at) < date('-2days', 'Europe/Paris') %}
    {# do something #}
{% endif %}

If no argument is passed, the function returns the current date:

{% if date(user.created_at) < date() %}
    {# always! #}
{% endif %}

$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader);
$twig->getExtension('Twig_Extension_Core')->setTimezone('Europe/Paris');

// before Twig 1.26
$twig->getExtension('core')->setTimezone('Europe/Paris');

Arguments

• date: The date
• timezone: The timezone
