Context:
There is a framework that processes Jinja2 templates and creates AWS resources based on the JSON file generated from the Jinja2 templates. One field value in these templates is a date.
Problem:
I want a template which automagically calculates the future date 5 days from the current date in the following format: MMDDYYYY, preferably without passing any parameter to this template file.
I have no means to alter the processing framework, so i can only work with what template i feed in.
Questions:
Can any of these done in a Jinja2 template file?
- get current date
- calculate date which is 5 days later than a provided date in MMDDYYYY format
