Date Format in Swift
This may be useful for who want to use dateformater.dateformat
;
if you want 12.09.18
you use dateformater.dateformat = "dd.MM.yy"
Wednesday, Sep 12, 2018 --> EEEE, MMM d, yyyy09/12/2018 --> MM/dd/yyyy09-12-2018 14:11 --> MM-dd-yyyy HH:mmSep 12, 2:11 PM --> MMM d, h:mm aSeptember 2018 --> MMMM yyyySep 12, 2018 --> MMM d, yyyyWed, 12 Sep 2018 14:11:54 +0000 --> E, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z2018-09-12T14:11:54+0000 --> yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ12.09.18 --> dd.MM.yy10:41:02.112 --> HH:mm:ss.SSS
Here are alternatives:
- era: G (AD), GGGG (Anno Domini)
- year: y (2018), yy (18), yyyy (2018)
- month: M, MM, MMM, MMMM, MMMMM
- day of month: d, dd
- day name of week: E, EEEE, EEEEE, EEEEEE
You have to declare 2 different NSDateFormatters
, the first to convert the string to a NSDate
and the second to print the date in your format.
Try this code:
let dateFormatterGet = NSDateFormatter()dateFormatterGet.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"let dateFormatterPrint = NSDateFormatter()dateFormatterPrint.dateFormat = "MMM dd,yyyy"let date: NSDate? = dateFormatterGet.dateFromString("2016-02-29 12:24:26")print(dateFormatterPrint.stringFromDate(date!))
Swift 3 and higher:
From Swift 3 NSDate
class has been changed to Date
and NSDateFormatter
to DateFormatter
.
let dateFormatterGet = DateFormatter()dateFormatterGet.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"let dateFormatterPrint = DateFormatter()dateFormatterPrint.dateFormat = "MMM dd,yyyy"if let date = dateFormatterGet.date(from: "2016-02-29 12:24:26") { print(dateFormatterPrint.string(from: date))} else { print("There was an error decoding the string")}
Swift - 5.0
let date = Date()let formate = date.getFormattedDate(format: "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss") // Set output formateextension Date { func getFormattedDate(format: String) -> String { let dateformat = DateFormatter() dateformat.dateFormat = format return dateformat.string(from: self) }}
Swift - 4.0
2018-02-01T19:10:04+00:00 Convert Feb 01,2018
extension Date { static func getFormattedDate(string: String , formatter:String) -> String{ let dateFormatterGet = DateFormatter() dateFormatterGet.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ" let dateFormatterPrint = DateFormatter() dateFormatterPrint.dateFormat = "MMM dd,yyyy" let date: Date? = dateFormatterGet.date(from: "2018-02-01T19:10:04+00:00") print("Date",dateFormatterPrint.string(from: date!)) // Feb 01,2018 return dateFormatterPrint.string(from: date!); }}
