Convert integer to string Jinja

I found the answer.

Cast integer to string:

myOldIntValue|string

Cast string to integer:

myOldStrValue|int

Formatting someInt as a string can be achieved through:

'{0:d}'.format(someInt)

This syntax come from ansible, that also uses Python and Jinja. behind the scene.

The OP needed to cast as string outside the {% set ... %}. But if that not your case you can do:

{% set curYear = 2013 | string() %}

Note that you need the parenthesis on that jinja filter.

If you're concatenating 2 variables, you can also use the ~ custom operator.
