How to format a date to Brazilian Portuguese

[valentesolucoes]

How to format a date to Brazilian Portuguese I'm trying this way {{ date(record.published_up).format('M d, Y') }}, but instead of the date appearing "Dez 05, 2024" it appears Dec 05, 2024.

my config/app:
'timezone' => 'UTC',
'locale' => 'pt-br',

my config/cms:
'backendTimezone' => 'America/Sao_Paulo',

Try this:

{{ date(record.published_up).locale('pt_BR').isoFormat('LL') }}

or this
{{ date(record.published_up).locale('pt_BR').format('M d, Y') }}

[valentesolucoes]

Both ways didn't work. Now the date has disappeared.

[mjauvin]

{{ record.published_up.locale('pt_BR').format('M d, Y') }}

[valentesolucoes]

Same thing. The date doesn't even appear. :(

That makes no sense, where does that date come from?

[valentesolucoes]

This date comes from a select I make in the database:

code:
use vsi\Materials\Models\Article;
function onStart() {
$scopes = 3;
$this['records'] = Article::where('featured', 1)
->where('is_enabled', 1)
->orderBy('published_up', 'desc')
->paginate($scopes);
}

Markup:
...

{% for record in records %}

....
{{ record.published_up.locale('pt_BR').format('M d, Y') }}
....

What if you try the twig filter I posted below? (ofcourse you will have to modify the format to your liking)

Markup: ...

{% for record in records %}

....
{{ record.published_up.locale('pt_BR').format('M d, Y') }}
....

Did you add published_up in the $dates array of your model ?

I made a Twig filter to achieve a date translation.
Perhaps this can help you too?

Plugin.php

use Session;
use Carbon\Carbon;

public function registerMarkupTags()
{
    return [
        'filters' => [
            'translateDate' => [$this, 'translateDate'],
        ]
    ];
}

public function translateDate($date, $withYear = false)
{
    if (!$date) return;
    if (gettype($date) === 'string') $date = new Carbon($date);

    $lang = Session::get('winter.translate.locale');
    if ($withYear) return $date->locale($lang)->isoFormat('LL');

    return $date->locale($lang)->isoFormat('D MMMM');
}

file.htm

{{ estimated_delivery_date | translateDate }}
or with year
{{ estimated_delivery_date | translateDate(true) }}

@AIC-BV the above is nice, but the format used in isoFormat() doesn't make sense in all locale (definitely not in english).

It would be better to use isoFormat('LL') (in the long form anyway)

[AIC-BV]

Thanks is an improvement for the withYear then 😄
Editing the code above

In which folder do I put Plugin.php ??

[valentesolucoes]

An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("Call to undefined method DateTime::locale()").

    <span><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i>{{ date(record.published_up) | translateDate(true) }} - {{ date(record.published_up).format('M d, Y') }}</span>

I think the error is here
$lang = Session::get('winter.translate.locale');
$lang is returning null

[mjauvin]

@AIC-BV improved version:

public function translateDate($date, $withYear = false)
{
    if (!$date) return;
    if (gettype($date) === 'string') $date = new Carbon($date);

    $locale = Session::get('winter.translate.locale');
    $format = $withYear ? 'LL' : (starts_with($locale, 'fr') ? 'D MMMM' : 'MMMM D');
    return $date->locale($locale)->isoFormat($format);
}

[AIC-BV]

Looks great, but the short format won't be correct now in my language (nl => D MMMM) creating a list of exceptions but since I know which languages I have (only 3) I can easiliy add them in there 👍 Thanks
(changed the fr to en and swapped the format from places)

Love it, March 28 is much better than 28 March 🥳

[valentesolucoes]

Problem solved.
in plugin.php:

public function translateDate($date) {
        if (!$date) return;

        if (gettype($date) === 'string') $date = new Carbon($date);
        $fmt = datefmt_create(
            'pt_BR', // The output language.
            pattern: 'LLLL dd, Y' // The output formatting.
        );
        return ucfirst(datefmt_format($fmt, $date));
    }

in Frontend:
<span><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i> {{ record.published_up | translateDate }}</span>
