How can I set the default date format for Twig templates in Symfony2?

Question

Twig documentation describes how to set the default date format for the date filter:

$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader);
$twig->getExtension('core')->setDateFormat('d/m/Y', '%d days');

How can do this setting globally in Symfony2?

Answer 1

for Symfony 4 you can do this for those that need.

twig:
    ...
    date:
        format: c
        timezone: UTC
    ....
