Get current date in Thymeleaf

Question

How can I print current date (and time, eventually) from Thymeleaf? I'm trying these functions: http://www.thymeleaf.org/doc/tutorials/2.1/usingthymeleaf.html#dates but I can't get them work.

Answer 1

Try with this:

${#dates.format(#dates.createNow(), 'dd MMM yyyy HH:mm')}

will be created a java.util.Date() object then formatted as you prefer.

Using the #calendars utility object

This is an alternative method:

${#calendars.format(#calendars.createNow(), 'dd MMM yyyy HH:mm')}

the result will be the same.
