I want convert this: Dec 31, 2017 8:00:00 PM to dd-mm-yyyy HH:ii format in Swift 4.
This is my code so far:
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss a"//this your string date format
if let translatedDate = dateFormatter.date(from: datetime) {
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy HH:ii"
return dateFormatter.string(from: translatedDate)
}
The code never enters in the if statement. I guess my date format is not correct.
A DateFormatter that converts between dates and their textual representations.
You can find more Locale
identifier here.
- first, convert your date to local time zone. using a
Locale
class
- after you can covert the date in specific formate.
And try this code.
let dateStr = "Wed, 26 Jul 2017 18:10:02 +0530"
if let date = Date(fromString: dateStr, format: "MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss a") {
debugPrint(date.toString(format: "dd-MM-yyyy HH:ii"))
}
Date Extension is ...
extension Date {
// Initializes Date from string and format
public init?(fromString string: String, format: String, identifier: String = Locale.current.identifier) {
let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.dateFormat = format
formatter.locale = Locale(identifier: identifier)
if let date = formatter.date(from: string) {
self = date
} else {
return nil
}
}
// Converts Date to String, with format
public func toString(format: String, identifier: String = Locale.current.identifier) -> String {
let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.locale = Locale(identifier: identifier)
formatter.dateFormat = format
return formatter.string(from: self)
}
}
String Extension is ...
extension String {
// Converts String to formated date string, with inputFormat and outputFormat
public func toDate(form inputFormat: String, to outputFormat: String, identifier: String = Locale.current.identifier) -> String? {
return Date(fromString: self, format: inputFormat, identifier: identifier)?.toString(format: outputFormat, identifier: identifier)
}
// Converts String to Date, with format
func toDate(format: String, identifier: String = Locale.current.identifier) -> Date? {
return Date(fromString: self, format: format, identifier: identifier)
}
}
