use Codefog\HasteBundle\Formatter;

// Format date/time/datim
$this->formatter->date($timestamp);
$this->formatter->time($timestamp);
$this->formatter->datim($timestamp);

// Display the tl_news.headline label
$this->formatter->dcaLabel('tl_news', 'headline');

// Display the tl_news.source formatted value
$this->formatter->dcaValue('tl_news', 'source', $newsModel->source);
```
