datetime - Twig date difference

I've got an entity with a starting date and an ending date.

Is it possible to get the difference in time between them by using twig?

Since PHP 5.3 There is another option without to write an extension.

This example show how to calc the plural day/days

{# endDate and startDate are strings or DateTime objects #}
{% set difference = date(endDate).diff(date(startDate)) %}
{% set leftDays = difference.days %}
{% if leftDays == 1 %}
  1 day
{% else %}
  {{ leftDays }} days
{% endif %}

Explanation:

PHP 5.3 DateTime object has diff() method which return a DateInterval object with the result difference between endDate and beginDate Twig

Twig date function always return a DateTime object so we can call diff method

Finally we can access to the properties of the DateInterval object or format it with the Twig date filter.

Note: There is no need of wrap endDate or startDate with the date function if the variable is already a DateTime object.

Note2: DateTime is used here as a synonym of DateTimeInterface.
