Compare date with a specific one and DateTime to string in Twig

Question

1. How can I compare two dates in Twig when the first one comes from the dababase and the second is clear - 2012-12-31? I tried with

   {% if  dom.dueDate|date('Y-m-d') > 2012-12-31 %}
   

   but I don't get the result I want. :(

2. I have a DateTime field but I couldn't find a filter for DateTime in Twig and when I use |date('Y-m-d') it prints only the date without the hour :(

I would be really happy and grateful if someone helps me to solve the problems!

Answer 1

Try timestamps for comparison :

{% if dom.dueDate|date('U') > '2012-12-31'|date('U') %}

and this to add hours, minutes and seconds

{{ dom.dueDate|date('Y-m-d H:i:s') }}

Answer 2

As of twig 1.6+, the correct way of comparing dates according to the official docs is using the date function:

{% if dom.dueDate > date('2012-12-31') %}
