Magento 2 – How to Get Current Store Date and Time

datemagento2

In Magento 1.x you could get the store date time via

Mage::getModel('core/date')->gmtDate();

What would be the equivalent to this in Magento 2.x?

You need to inject in your class constructor an instance of \Magento\Framework\Stdlib\DateTime\DateTime and use that one.
Something like this:

protected $date;
public function __construct(
    ....
    \Magento\Framework\Stdlib\DateTime\DateTime $date,
    ....
) {
    ....
    $this->date = $date;
    ....
}

Then, you can use in your class this: 

$date = $this->date->gmtDate();
