Symfony, how to get localized date

Question

most likely a silly question, but I do not see how to do.

Within a controller, I need to use $myObj->getData()->format('d-M-Y'), and I wish to get a localized string too (in italian instead than in english).

Within a twig template, I get it by {{ myobj.data|localizeddate('long', 'none', app.request.locale ) }}, but I do not know a similar trick for the former case.

Yes, I found how to do (thanks to ccKep):

$cal = IntlCalendar::fromDateTime($oldObj->getData()->format('d-M-Y')." Europe/Rome");

$newObj->setField("my date is ". IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal, "d MMMM YYYY", 'it_IT')."");

Have a look at datefmt_format.

In controller you may use Intl. For example:

$intl = new \IntlDateFormatter($request->getLocale(), \IntlDateFormatter::LONG, \IntlDateFormatter::NONE, null, null, 'd-LLL-y');

$date = $intl->format(new \DateTime('now'));
