Month number instead of month name in Symfony DateType field

Question

I use Symfony 4.3 and 'bootstrap_4_layout.html.twig' as form theme. How can I setup DateType field to show month numbers instead of month names?

{{ form_widget(formConge.DateBureauOrdre.month, {'var': {'choices': {'label': {'jan': 'a' }} } }) }}

Answer 1

If you are using a DateType form field, you have an option there called format which can be used to format the day & month & year fields.

More information can be found on Symfony Documentation

You would better pay attention to deprecation notice:

Deprecated since version 4.3: Using the format option when the html5 option is enabled is deprecated since Symfony 4.3.

Answer 2

You can use the Twig date format for this purposes, something like the following:

{{ object.date|date('d/m/Y H:i:s') }}
