example

(Example when used together with mkdocs-material theme)

Setup

Install the plugin using pip:

pip install mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin

Activate the plugin in mkdocs.yml:

plugins:
  - git-revision-date-localized

Usage

In supported themes

In theme templates

In templates you can use page.meta.git_revision_date_localized:

{% if page.meta.git_revision_date_localized %}
  Last update: {{ page.meta.git_revision_date_localized }}
{% endif %}

In markdown pages

In your markdown files you can use {{ git_revision_date_localized }}:

Last update: {{ git_revision_date_localized }}

Options

type

Set this option to one of date, datetime, iso_date, iso_datetime or timeago. Default is date. Example outputs:

28 November, 2019 # type: date
28 November, 2019 13:57:28 # type: datetime
2019-11-28 # type: iso_date
2019-11-28 13:57:26 # type: iso_datetime
20 hours ago # type: timeago

locale

Specify a two letter ISO639 language code to display dates in your preferred language.

  • When used in combination with type: date or type: datetime, translation is done using babel which supports these locales
  • When used in combination with type: timeago then timeago.js is added to your website, which supports these locales. If you specify a locale not supported by timeago.js, the fallback is English (en)
  • When not set, this plugin will look for locale or language options set in your theme. If also not set, the fallback is English (en)

Example

Example of setting both options:

# mkdocs.yml
plugins:
  - git-revision-date-localized:
    type: timeago
    locale: nl
