Syntax
---
my_variable:
type: date
array: true
default:
- today
---
{% for var in my_variable %}
{{ var | date: "%s" }}
{% endfor %}
Usage
By using variable with Liquid date filter, we can achieve:
- Date formatting: (docs)
---
my_variable:
type: date
default: today
---
<p>{{ my_variable | date: "%d" }}</p>
- Comparison and conditional checking:
When formatting date to epoch value (%s), we can compare two values with each other.
---
my_variable:
type: date
default: today
---
{% assign my_variable_epoch = my_variable | date: "%s" %}
{% assign current_date = "today" | date: "%s" %}
{% if my_variable_epoch > current_date %}
<p>My date variable is after current date</p>
{% else %}
<p>My date variable is before current date</p>
{% endif %}
