How to display current year in Flask template?

Question

I am looking to find out how to output the current year in a Flask template. I know in Django you can use {% now "Y" %}., but is there a Flask equivalent? I have been unable to find anything during my research thus far.

Answer 1

Use a template context processor to pass the current date to every template, then render its year attribute.

from datetime import datetime  @app.context_processor def inject_now():     return {'now': datetime.utcnow()} 

{{ now.year }} 

Or pass the object with render if you don't need it in most templates.

return render_template('show.html', now=datetime.utcnow()) 

Answer 2

For moment there is Flask Moment. It is powerful like Moment, and easy to use in Flask. To display the year in the user's local time from your Jinja template:

<p>The current year is: {{ moment().format('YYYY') }}.</p>
