``date``
========
Converts an argument to a date to allow date comparison:
.. code-block:: html+twig
{% if date(user.created_at) < date('-2days') %}
{# do something #}
{% endif %}
The argument must be in one of PHPs supported `date and time formats`_.
You can pass a timezone as the second argument:
.. code-block:: html+twig
{% if date(user.created_at) < date('-2days', 'Europe/Paris') %}
{# do something #}
{% endif %}
If no argument is passed, the function returns the current date:
.. code-block:: html+twig
{% if date(user.created_at) < date() %}
{# always! #}
{% endif %}
.. note::
You can set the default timezone globally by calling ``setTimezone()`` on
the ``core`` extension instance::
$twig = new \Twig\Environment($loader);
$twig->getExtension(\Twig\Extension\CoreExtension::class)->setTimezone('Europe/Paris');
