Why I can't convert string to date in Swift? [

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• dateFromString returns nil for some values 1 answer

I have this simple code:

let string = "2017-02-23 15:26:00";
let df = DateFormatter();
df.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss";
let result = df.date(from: string);

The result is nil. Why?

Answer 1

Your date is 24 hour format So it should be HH not hh, so change your date formate to yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.

let string = "2017-02-23 15:26:00"
let df = DateFormatter()
df.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
let result = df.date(from: string)

Answer 2

let string = "2017-02-23 15:26:00";
let df = DateFormatter();
df.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";
let result = df.date(from: string);
