How to properly display the format of date time in Django?-CodePudding

I want to add the date and time when I uploaded a specific file in my database in Django. In my models.py, I added this line of code:

models.py

date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

In the template, I added this code:

{% block content %}
<div >
<tr>
    <td>
        CAR LIST
    </td>
    <td>
        Date Added
    </td>
</tr>

{% for car in cars %}
<tr>
    <td><a href="{% url 'show-car' car.car_id %}">{{ car }}</a></td>
    <td>{{ car.date_added }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% endblock %}

It correctly displays the date however the time only shows "midnight". How do I format the datetime into Month, Day, Year, Hours, Minutes, Seconds?

Please find the answer in this post.

To summarize, you can format the date in the template using template tags, in you case it would look like this: {{ car.date_added|date:'Y-m-d H:i' }}.

As mentioned in one of the most upvoted answers comments as well you can find the full template tag docs at this Django docs link.
