Date tools plugin for Grav CMS

This plugin works with Grav v1.1.3 and above.

This Grav plugin provides date tools to use inside of Twig for filtering pages. With the release of Grav 0.9.13 startDate and endDate were introduced to collection parsing. You can use the following datetools to set various dates for retrieving collections.

Configuration

Set up your preferred date formats in datetools.yaml

The default is set to the American date format of 01/01/2015 12:00am.

dateFormat: 
    default: "m/d/Y g:ia"
    long: "l, F j, g:ia"
    medium: "F j, g:ia"
    short: "m/d/y"

Example Twig Use

{% set events = page
    .collection({'items':{'@taxonomy.type':'event'}})
    .dateRange(datetools.startOfWeek, datetools.endOfMonth)
    .order('date', 'asc') %}

<ul>
{% for event in events %}
    <li><a href="{{ event.url }}">{{ event.title }}</a> {{ event.date|date('m/d/Y g:ia') }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
