Each function uses the same arguments in the same order as the Twig Extra package filters/functions.

Locale specification

If no locale is specified in function calls, the function will use the result of Illuminate\Support\Facades\App::currentLocale() as the locale value to use.

functions signature

In PHP8+, you can use named parameters to improve functions usages as they tend to have a lot of arguments:

In PHP7.4

<?php

echo format_datetime('2019-08-07 23:39:12', 'fr', null, medium', 'medium', '', 'gregorian', 'fr');

In PHP8+

<?php

echo format_datetime(date: '2019-08-07 23:39:12', locale: 'fr');
