Konrad Windszus commented on SLING-6102:
----------------------------------------

It would be nice to also support the new date types/formatters being added with 
java 8: 
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/jf14-date-time-2125367.html

Also the correct locale should be considered when formatting dates (with a 
possibility to overwrite that).

> When using Sightly we are missing functionality to format dates.
> Proposed solution:
> {code}
> @ dateFormat = '<date format>'
> {code}
> format used can be found in : 
> http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
> The value to be formatted must be specified via a Date-type (Date,Calendar 
> etc)
> Example
> {code}
> <body data-sly-use.obj="logic.js" data-sly-use.dateV="java.util.Date">
>   ${ dateV @ dateFormat='dd/MM/yyyy'}
>   ${ obj.jsdate @ dateFormat='dd/MM/yyyy'}
>   ${ properties.jcr:created  @ dateFormat='dd/MM/yyyy' }
> </body>
> {code}
