How to render a DateTime object in a Twig template

by

Although you can use the

{{ game.gameDate|date('Y-m-d') }}

approach, keep in mind that this version does not honor the user locale, which should not be a problem with a site used by only users of one nationality. International users should display the game date totally different, like extending the \DateTime class, and adding a __toString() method to it that checks the locale and acts accordingly.

Edit:

As pointed out by @Nic in a comment, if you use the Intl extension of Twig, you will have a localizeddate filter available, which shows the date in the user’s locale. This way you can drop my previous idea of extending \DateTime.
