How to get date format in underscore js while rendering template?

Question

I'm using the underscore.js templating function and have done a template like this:

<span class="msg-date"><% if (typeof(sent_date) != "undefined"){ %>
    <%= format(sent_date, 'd-m-Y') %><% } %>
</span>
<span class="msg-time"><% if (sent_date){ %><%= sent_date %><% } %></span>

As you can see I have add a format to sent_date in format of d-m-Y. But I can't get correct output.

There is no special date modifiers in underscore.js template() function. To format your date u can use any other third party lib for this or javascript Date object. For more details and options see this answer.

format doesn't format dates in twig. It's basically the same as printf().

To format the date you want to use the date modifier:

sent_date|date('d-m-Y')

I apologize, I was thinking of this from a TWIG point of view. Not underscore.js. What output are you actually getting from your template? – lifo Dec 12 '12 at 13:33
