I was looking for a way to change the default date format in Rails 4.
See Question&Answers more detail:osI was looking for a way to change the default date format in Rails 4.
See Question&Answers more detail:osFound a nice approach through the Rails Internationalization (I18n) API
Data and time formats can be 'translated' by adding the format to the i18n configuration.
config/locales/en.yml
en:
date:
formats:
default: "%d/%m/%Y"
time:
formats:
default: "%d/%m/%Y %H:%M"
Note: remember to not have tabs for the indent, like I did first time :)
As mentioned by NoelProf in the comments
To use i18n conversion don't forget the l (lower case L) before your date in views! For example: <%= l your_date %>
You are invited to comment if you found other ways working well.
