As an idea, you can preprocess the pages to change the Date
. Let's say you create a new variable with the time zone:
date: 2024-01-18 20:44:58
timezone: Asia/Bangkok
And then process the pages assigning the correct timezone.
Lume 2 uses Temporal polyfill (in /deps/temporal.ts
) which has functions to work with timezones (see docs here).
Let me know if you can solve it with this. If it works fine, maybe this could be a Lume plugin (Some people ask me about using different timezones in multilanguage sites).
@oscarotero Thanks for replying.
Yes, that'd work too, with the added benefit of documentation in the frontmatter.
But if not, would it be improper to suggest that Lume provides the frontmatter as a part of the Page
interface somewhere? As I touched upon in:
Also, I can't do my own hacky date parsing and formatting, since I don't have access to the raw frontmatter record on the Page data: I only have the already parsed date: Date.
As "raw" as possible, meaning, no string → Date
parsing whatsoever. Just raw strings (and maybe number | boolean
:)).
Or do you consider it leaky?
That's no easy. The date parsing is not performed by Lume, but by yaml parsed https://deno.land/std@0.212.0/front_matter/mod.ts

Hi! Not sure I'm holding this wrong, but I've got a (deceivingly simple) date problem.
Request
I want the specified date and time from my Markdown frontmatter to show in the built site. Currently, all dates and times are formatted in UTC (or whatever
TZ
is on the machine building the site).Use case
For the
date
field in my posts' frontmatter, I use my current local time with time zone offset. Like this:Note the included timezone offset.
When formatting that in the templates, I want that date and time to show. It works on my machine (classic!), but when building on CI for deploying, dates are showing in UTC.
Using the format string
PPP — HH:mm
:when I want:
I just want whatever I input as the formatted output 😄
I've read about setting the
TZ
var when building withlume
, but I can't do that, since the local time for each post might vary (I might post across timezones).Also, I can't do my own hacky date parsing and formatting, since I don't have access to the raw frontmatter record on the
Page
data: I only have the already parseddate: Date
.Maybe this is out of scope for Lume, but I thought I'd ask. Thanks for a never ending great job ❤️
