```go-template
|
||||
{{ $t := "2023-01-27T23:44:58-08:00" }}
|
||||
{{ $t = time.AsTime $t }}
|
||||
{{ $format := "2 Jan 2006" }}
|
||||
|
||||
{{ $t.Format $format }} → 27 Jan 2023
|

```
|

|
||||
{{% note %}}
|
||||
To [localize] the return value, use the [`time.Format`] function instead.
|
||||
|
||||
[localize]: /getting-started/glossary/#localization
|
||||
[`time.Format`]: /functions/time/format
|
||||
{{% /note %}}
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `Format` method with any `time.Time` value, including the four predefined front matter dates:
|
||||
|
||||
```go-html-template
|
||||
{{ $format := "2 Jan 2006" }}
|
||||
|
||||
{{ .Date.Format $format }}
|
||||
{{ .PublishDate.Format $format }}
|
||||
{{ .ExpiryDate.Format $format }}
|
||||
{{ .Lastmod.Format $format }}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
{{% note %}}
|
||||
Use the [`time.Format`] function to format string representations of dates, and to format raw TOML dates that exclude time and time zone offset.
|
||||
|
||||
[`time.Format`]: /functions/time/format
|
||||
{{% /note %}}
|
||||
|
||||
## Layout string
|
||||
|
||||
{{% include "functions/_common/time-layout-string.md" %}}
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Given this front matter:
|
||||
|
||||
{{< code-toggle fm=true >}}
|
||||
title = "About time"
|
||||
date = 2023-01-27T23:44:58-08:00
|
||||
{{< /code-toggle >}}
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
`Mon, 02 Jan 2006 15:04:05 MST`|`Fri, 27 Jan 2023 23:44:58 PST`
|
||||
`Mon, 02 Jan 2006 15:04:05 -0700`|`Fri, 27 Jan 2023 23:44:58 -0800`
|
||||
|
||||
## UTC and local time
|
||||
|
||||
Convert and format any `time.Time` value to either Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or local time.
|
||||
|
||||
```go-html-template
|
||||
{{ $t := "2023-01-27T23:44:58-08:00" }}
|
||||
{{ $t = time.AsTime $t }}
|
||||
{{ $format := "2 Jan 2006 3:04:05 PM MST" }}
|
||||
|
||||
{{ $t.UTC.Format $format }} → 28 Jan 2023 7:44:58 AM UTC
|
||||
{{ $t.Local.Format $format }} → 27 Jan 2023 11:44:58 PM PST
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Ordinal representation
|
||||
|
||||
Use the [`humanize`](/functions/inflect/humanize) function to render the day of the month as an ordinal number:
|
||||
|
||||
```go-html-template
|
||||
{{ $t := "2023-01-27T23:44:58-08:00" }}
|
||||
{{ $t = time.AsTime $t }}
|
||||
|
||||
{{ humanize $t.Day }} of {{ $t.Format "January 2006" }} → 27th of January 2023
|
||||
```
