How can I filter out date created task in my task list

Issue

I'm trying to show the date-created tasks in my list in HTML.

class Task(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, blank=True)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    description = models.TextField(max_length=1000, blank=True, null=True)
    complete = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

And this is my HTML in Django

 <div class="task-items wrapper">
    {% for task in tasks %}
    <div class="task-wrapper">
        {% if task.complete %}
            <div class="task-title">
                <div class="task-complete-icon"></div>
                <i><s><a class="task" href="{% url 'update-task' task.id %}">{{task}}</a></s></i>
                <br></br>
                    
            </div>
            <a class="delete-link"  href="{% url 'delete-task' task.id %}"><i class="fa-solid fa-delete-left"></i></a>
        {% else %}
            <div class="task-title">
                <div class="task-incomplete-icon"></div>
               <a href="{% url 'update-task' task.id %}">{{task}}</a>
               
            </div>
            <a class="delete-link"  href="{% url 'delete-task' task.id %}"><i class="fa-solid fa-delete-left"></i></a>
        {% endif %}
    </div>
    <div class="emptylist">       
        {% empty %}
        <h3 style="text-align: center; line-height: 3;">No task in list! Let's create your task</h3>
    </div>
    {% endfor %}
</div>

For example, for each task I create, it must show the title with the date created, and doesn't matter if it is completeđ or incomplete. I just can show the title and how do I do that show the date?

Solution

You could use DateField()^django-doc directly. But if you have defined DateTimeField so you can use @property decorator and show date in the format like 1-7-2022 as you shown in the picture.

Create @property in your Task model like this:

class Task(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, blank=True)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    description = models.TextField(max_length=1000, blank=True, null=True)
    complete = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    
    @property
    def get_only_date(self):
        date_object = self.created
        year = date_object.year
        month = date_object.month
        day = date_object.day
        return f"{day}-{month}-{year}"

Then, use anywhere in your template file as property in loop:

{% for task in tasks %}
{{task.get_only_date}}
{% endfor %}
