Changing the default date and time format in Rails 4

Question

I was looking for a way to change the default date format in Rails 4.

Answer 1

Add this

# Date
Date::DATE_FORMATS[:default] = "%d/%m/%Y" 

# Time
Time::DATE_FORMATS[:default] = "%d/%m/%Y %H:%M" 

to config/initializers/date_time.rb

Then restart the server.
