FR: add drop in functionality for month() on timestamp entities

[Mariusthvdb]

followup from Discord

have a timestamp entity like

{{states('sensor.afvalwijzer_plastic')}}

which outputs ' 2024-02-02'

for various dashboards/templates, it would be very nice to be able to do

{% set trash = 'sensor.afvalwijzer_plastic' %}
{% from 'easy_time.jinja' import month %}
{{month(trash)}}

or

month(states(trash))

to output the month name

which would be much nicer than

{{month(as_datetime(states(trash)).month)}}

which currently does the job alright

please consider adding that? thx

nice!

% set trash = 'sensor.afvalwijzer_plastic' %}
{% from 'easy_time.jinja' import month, weekday %}
{{weekday(trash)}}  {{month(trash)}}

{{(states(trash)|as_datetime).day}}
