Set the date in front matter:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{{< code-toggle file=content/news/article-1.md fm=true >}}
|
||
|
|
title = 'Article 1'
|
||
|
|
date = 2023-10-19T00:40:04-07:00
|
||
|
|
{{< /code-toggle >}}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
||
|
|
The date field in front matter is often considered to be the creation date, You can change its meaning, and its effect on your site, in the site configuration. See [details].

{{% /note %}}
|
||
|
|

|
The date is a [time.Time] value. Format and localize the value with the [`time.Format`] function, or use it with any of the [time methods].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```go-html-template
|
||
|
|
{{ .Date | time.Format ":date_medium" }} → Oct 19, 2023
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the example above we explicitly set the date in front matter. With Hugo's default configuration, the `Date` method returns the front matter value. This behavior is configurable, allowing you to set fallback values if the date is not defined in front matter. See [details].
