"recent" and "current"?

1

related to my other question: How to represent an 'ongoing' date?

i have a list of data files with dates in them. how can i display a list of recently transpired events, and a list of currently ongoing events?

repo is here: https://gitlab.com/fustkilas/oovoo

still looking for an answer…

What have you tried so far?

4

for “current” i tried:

{{ range where .Site.Data.shows ".finissage" "ge" (now.AddDate 0 0 0) }}

and also

{{ range where .Site.Data.shows ".finissage" "ge" now }}

i got this snippet from https://gohugo.io/functions/adddate/

also, my data files look like this: https://gitlab.com/fustkilas/oovoo/tree/master/data/shows

an example “current” show would be: https://gitlab.com/fustkilas/oovoo/blob/master/data/shows/school-of-pain.yml

any ideas? i figure i’m messing up the range function somehow

If you want to get the current year, do:

now.Format "2006"

See .Format docs for more examples, if you wanted to current month and day too

6

but that shouldnt matter, i’m trying to extract all data files whose “.finissage” is greater than the current date… how would i do that? see my last snippet for what i tried

You could range the data file normally, then do your date comparison within:

{{ range .Site.Data.shows }}
  {{ $now := now.Format "2006-01-02" }}
  {{ if (ge .finissage $now) }}
    ...

this works for everything EXCEPT

ge

any idea why?

ne , le

do work with .vernissage for example

i do have data files which have finissage dates after today, so dunno why this is happening?

Function Thing it does
ge greater than or equal to
gt greater than
10

yeah i do understand the difference between ge and gt
neither work with my data, i wonder why

11

See my previous example. I updated it. You want to get now as YYYY-MM-DD

yes indeed! that was it! thanks so much @zwbetz!

i think this will also solve my “recent” conundrum, let me work on it

again @zwbetz thank you very much for spending so much time on my concerns! i’m grateful to you
