In my custom module (.module) file, I am using:

    $current_time = \Drupal::time()->getCurrentTime();
    date_default_timezone_set('GMT');

to get the current date... However, the date value is returned in int A Unix timestamp like: `1556582116`

I have tried so far something like:

    $current_time = \Drupal::time()->getCurrentTime();
    $timenow = $current_time->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

or

    $current_time = \Drupal::time()->getCurrentTime('d');

to get only the day value... but with no success

How can I return the date value in the format of: D/M/Y like: `30/04/2019` or `30/Apr/19`
