Human Readable Date in Rails

Question

I am trying to have the current date displayed in a view within my rails app. I'd like the following format: Day of week, Month, Day, Year.

Currently I am using:

<%= Time.now.strftime("%B %d, %Y") %>

This displays everything but the day of the week. How do I add the day of the week?

Answer 1

%A gives the day of the week

Customize how you prefer it!

<%= Time.now.strftime("%B %d, %Y, %A") %>
