How do I escape characters in an Angular date pipe?

I have an Angular date variable today that I'm using the date pipe on, like so:

{{today | date:'LLLL d'}}

February 13

However, I would like to make it appear like this:

13 days so far in February

When I try a naive approach to this, I get this result:

{{today | date:'d days so far in LLLL'}}

13 13PM201818 18o fPMr in February

This is because, for instance d refers to the day.

How can I escape these characters in an Angular date pipe? I tried \d and such, but the result did not change with the added backslashes.

Solution

  • How about this:

    {{today | date:'d \'days so far in\' LLLL'}}

    Anything inside single quotes is ignored. Just don't forget to escape them.
