The title is pretty self explanatory. How can one present current data and time in django's template?
First, open the views.py file of your Django application and import the datetime module. Next, use the datetime. now() method to get the current date and time value.
The full tag to print just the current year is {% now "Y" %} . Note that the Y must be in quotes. For the record, {% now %} won't give proper results for users within different time zone than the server.
A Django template is a text document or a Python string marked-up using the Django template language. Some constructs are recognized and interpreted by the template engine. The main ones are variables and tags. A template is rendered with a context.
Try using built-in django template tags and filters: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/?from=olddocs#now
Examples:
It is {% now "jS F Y H:i" %}
It is {% now "SHORT_DATETIME_FORMAT" %}
