   4 .. versionadded:: 1.6
   5     The date function has been added in Twig 1.6.
   6
   7 .. versionadded:: 1.6.1
   8     The default timezone support has been added in Twig 1.6.1.
   9
  10 Converts an argument to a date to allow date comparison:
  11
  12 .. code-block:: jinja
  13
  14     {% if date(user.created_at) < date('-2days') %}
  15         {# do something #}
  16     {% endif %}
  17
  18 The argument must be in a format supported by the `date`_ function.
  19
  20 You can pass a timezone as the second argument:
  21
  22 .. code-block:: jinja
  23
  24     {% if date(user.created_at) < date('-2days', 'Europe/Paris') %}
  25         {# do something #}
  26     {% endif %}
  27
  28 If no argument is passed, the function returns the current date:
  29
  30 .. code-block:: jinja
  31
  32     {% if date(user.created_at) < date() %}
  33         {# always! #}
  34     {% endif %}
  35
  36 .. note::
  37
  38     You can set the default timezone globally by calling ``setTimezone()`` on
  39     the ``core`` extension instance:
  40
  41     .. code-block:: php
  42
  43         $twig = new Twig_Environment($loader);
  44         $twig->getExtension('core')->setTimezone('Europe/Paris');
