time.Now
Syntax
time.Now
Returns
time.Time
Alias
now
For example, when building a site on October 15, 2023 in the America/Los_Angeles time zone:
{{ time.Now }}
This produces a time.Time value, with a string representation such as:
2023-10-15 12:59:28.337140706 -0700 PDT m=+0.041752605
To format and localize the value, pass it through the time.Format function:
{{ time.Now | time.Format "Jan 2006" }} → Oct 2023
The time.Now function returns a time.Time value, so you can chain any of the time methods to the resulting value. For example:
{{ time.Now.Year }} → 2023 (int)
{{ time.Now.Weekday.String }} → Sunday
{{ time.Now.Month.String }} → October
{{ time.Now.Unix }} → 1697400955 (int64)
