Change date format on django templates
To change the date format on Django templates, you can follow the steps below:
- Open your Django template file where you want to display the date.
- Locate the section of code where the date is being rendered.
- Use the built-in Django template filter called
date
to format the date according to your desired format. Thedate
filter takes two arguments: the date variable and the desired format. - Specify the format using the placeholders defined in the Django documentation. For example,
%Y
represents the year with a century,%m
represents the month as a zero-padded number, and%d
represents the day of the month as a zero-padded number. - Insert the
date
filter after the date variable, separating them with a pipe|
character. For example, if your date variable ismy_date
, the code would look like{{ my_date|date:"Y-m-d" }}
. - Save the template file and run your Django application to see the updated date format.
By following these steps, you can easily change the date format on Django templates to suit your needs.
