How can I convert this string "2016-04-14T10:44:00+0000"
into an NSDate
and keep only the year, month, day, hour?
The T
in the middle of it really throws off what I am used to when working with dates.

Convert the ISO8601 sting to date
let isoDate = "2016-04-14T10:44:00+0000"
let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"
dateFormatter.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: "en_US_POSIX")
let date = dateFormatter.dateFromString(isoDate)!
Get the date components for year, month, day and hour from the date
let units : NSCalendarUnit = [.Year, .Month, .Day, .Hour]
let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
let components = calendar.components(units, fromDate: date)!
Finally create a new NSDate
object and strip minutes and seconds
let finalDate = calendar.dateFromComponents(components)
Swift 3:
let isoDate = "2016-04-14T10:44:00+0000"
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX") // set locale to reliable US_POSIX
let date = dateFormatter.date(from:isoDate)!
let calendar = Calendar.current
let components = calendar.dateComponents([.year, .month, .day, .hour], from: date)
let finalDate = calendar.date(from:components)
Consider also the convenience formatter ISO8601DateFormatter
introduced in iOS 10 / macOS 12:
let isoDate = "2016-04-14T10:44:00+0000"
let dateFormatter = ISO8601DateFormatter()
let date = dateFormatter.date(from:isoDate)!
Try the following date Format.
let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ssZZZ"
let date = dateFormatter. dateFromString (strDate)
Hope it helps..
Swift 4.1 :
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ssZZZ"
let date = dateFormatter.date(from: strDate)
Hi You have separate T Format and then convert as you like
// create dateFormatter with UTC time format
let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"
dateFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone(name: "UTC")
let date = dateFormatter.dateFromString("2015-04-01T11:42:00")
// change to a readable time format and change to local time zone
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "EEE, MMM d, yyyy - h:mm a"
dateFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone.localTimeZone()
let timeStamp = dateFormatter.stringFromDate(date!)
In Swift 4.1 you can do:
func getDate() -> Date? {
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"
dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone.current
dateFormatter.locale = Locale.current
return dateFormatter.date(from: "2015-04-01T11:42:00") // replace Date String
}
Just your passing your dateformate
and your date then you get Year,month,day,hour
. Extra info
func GetOnlyDateMonthYearFromFullDate(currentDateFormate:NSString , conVertFormate:NSString , convertDate:NSString ) -> NSString
{
let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = currentDateFormate as String
let formatter = NSDateFormatter()
formatter.dateFormat = Key_DATE_FORMATE as String
let finalDate = formatter.dateFromString(convertDate as String)
formatter.dateFormat = conVertFormate as String
let dateString = formatter.stringFromDate(finalDate!)
return dateString
}
Get Year
let Year = self.GetOnlyDateMonthYearFromFullDate("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ", conVertFormate: "YYYY", convertDate: "2016-04-14T10:44:00+0000") as String
Get Month
let month = self.GetOnlyDateMonthYearFromFullDate("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ", conVertFormate: "MM", convertDate: "2016-04-14T10:44:00+0000") as String
Get Day
let day = self.GetOnlyDateMonthYearFromFullDate("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ", conVertFormate: "dd", convertDate: "2016-04-14T10:44:00+0000") as String
Get Hour
let hour = self.GetOnlyDateMonthYearFromFullDate("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ", conVertFormate: "hh", convertDate: "2016-04-14T10:44:00+0000") as String
