Jinja2 Extension for Dates and Times
jinja2-time is available for download from PyPI via pip:
$ pip install jinja2-time
It will automatically install jinja2 along with pendulum.
The extension comes with a now
tag that provides convenient access to the
pendulum.now() API from your templates.
You can control the output by specifying a format, that will be passed to Python's strftime():
from jinja2 import Environment
env = Environment(extensions=['jinja2_time.TimeExtension'])
# Timezone 'local', default format -> "2015-12-10"
template = env.from_string("{% now 'local' %}")
# Timezone 'utc', explicit format -> "Thu, 10 Dec 2015 15:49:01"
template = env.from_string("{% now 'utc', '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S' %}")
# Timezone 'Europe/Berlin', explicit format -> "CET +0100"
template = env.from_string("{% now 'Europe/Berlin', '%Z %z' %}")
# Timezone 'utc', explicit format -> "2015"
template = env.from_string("{% now 'utc', '%Y' %}")
template.render()
TimeExtension extends the environment with a datetime_format
attribute.
It is used as a fallback if you omit the format for now
.
from jinja2 import Environment
env = Environment(extensions=['jinja2_time.TimeExtension'])
env.datetime_format = '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S'
# Timezone 'utc', default format -> "Thu, 10 Dec 2015 15:49:01"
template = env.from_string("{% now 'utc' %}")
template.render()
jinja2-time implements a convenient interface to modify now
by a
relative time offset:
# Examples for now "2015-12-09 23:33:01"
# "Thu, 10 Dec 2015 01:33:31"
"{% now 'utc' + 'hours=2, seconds=30' %}"
# "Wed, 09 Dec 2015 23:22:01"
"{% now 'utc' - 'minutes=11' %}"
# "07 Dec 2015 23:00:00"
"{% now 'utc' - 'days=2, minutes=33, seconds=1', '%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S' %}"
Further documentation on the underlying functionality can be found in the pendulum add() docs.
