tip

You can combine different options to get the date you need. For example, to get only the day the week, 3 days from now, in French, you can use {{moment add="3;days" format="dddd" locale="fr"}}. This will output jeudi.

Formatting dates

Customize your dates exactly how you need them using the format option on the {{moment}} helper. This option supports various tokens (special characters) that act as placeholders for specific date components like years, months, or days.

info

All tokens are case-sensitive. Ensure you use the exact uppercase or lowercase characters in the reference tables.
