cakephp 3 displaying date without time

CakePHP 3: I have a database field which is a DATE (not DATETIME nor TIMESTAMP)

When I display

echo $contact->date;

It will show something like 2014. 01. 06. 0:00. How to hide hours and minutes?

I tried

print $this->Time->format($contact->date, 'Y-m-d');

but I got 2014-0-6

How to get year-month-day?

use Cake\I18n\FrozenTime;

$time =new FrozenTime('2021-01-31 22:11:30');
$timex =  $time->i18nFormat('yyyy-MM-dd');
echo $timex;

You can directly print the date object in any custom date String format by using the inbuilt i18nFormat function.

$frozenDateObj->i18nFormat('dd-MMM-yyyy');

Use Datetime Format Syntax reference for more customization

If need all over the project with specific format you can use
boostrap.php

Cake\I18n\FrozenDate::setToStringFormat('yyyy-MM-dd');

add in App\Controller:

use Cake\I18n\Time;
Time::$defaultLocale = 'es-ES';
Time::setToStringFormat('YYYY-MM-dd');

Have you tried this?

echo $contact->date->format('Y-m-d');
