Try this code (at node.html.twig, Drupal 8.0.0-rc3):

{% set date = node.created|format_date('long') %}

And next:

{{ dump(date) }}

Return error:

Exception: The timestamp must be numeric. in Drupal\Component\Datetime\DateTimePlus::createFromTimestamp() (line 165 of core/lib/Drupal/Component/Datetime/DateTimePlus.php).

Drupal\Core\Datetime\DateFormatter->format(Object, 'long')

Reset to default

you are not using the actual timestamp. Here's what you should do:

{% set date = node.createdtime|format_date('long') %}

See? You only need to replace created with createdtime. Hope this helps.

  • And what variables, such as createdtime, from node? If I try {{ dump(node) }} — request is WSOD..

  • Use Kint. It's a sub module of the devel module.

  • createdtime is a twig style shortcut for the getCreatedTime() method. node.created is a FIeldItemList object, you can get the same value by accessing the value field property with node.created.value1format... Only base fields have methods, configurable fields need to be access like above.

  • {% set date = node.createdtime|format_date('long') %} did not work for me. I had to use: {% set date = node.createdtime|date('long') %}

Try in this way.

{% set date = node.created %}
{{ set date|date("m/d/Y") }}
