[FIXED] Ignore locale on thymeleaf #date.format()

Issue

I want to keep date format to fix standard regardless of locale. But however it is by default taking current locale and setting format based on locale.

th:text="${#dates.format(myDate, 'dd-MMM-yyyy')}"

I am always expecting format be like

09-Sep-2015

but with CA locale I am getting 09-de set.-2015

Is there a way to fix this.

UPDATE This question is not duplicate of This question. My problem is related to locale formatting.

Solution

Not sure you are using Maven or Gradle. Add thymeleaf-extras-java8time as your dependency.

and instead of #dates use #temporal and specify locale as parameters as below.

th:text="${#temporals.format(myDate, 'dd-MMM-yyyy','en')}"

But make sure your myDate is in java.time.* format
