Something to keep in mind when creating formatters is to try to reuse the same instance if you can, as formatters are fairly computationally expensive to create. The following is a pattern I frequently use for apps where I can share the same formatter app-wide, adapted from NSHipster.

extension DateFormatter {

    static var sharedDateFormatter: DateFormatter = {
        let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()   
        // Add your formatter configuration here     
        dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
        return dateFormatter
    }()
}

Usage:

let dateString = DateFormatter.sharedDateFormatter.string(from: Date())

I always use this code while converting Date to String     Swift 3   extension Date       func toString  dateFormat format    String   - gt  String               let dateFormatter   DateFormatter           dateFormatter dateFormat   format         return dateFormatter string from  self             and call like this       let today   Date   today toString dateFormat   dd-MM

DateFormatter has some factory date styles for those too lazy to tinker with formatting strings  If you don t need a custom style  here s another option   extension Date       func asString style  DateFormatter Style  - gt  String       let dateFormatter   DateFormatter       dateFormatter dateStyle   style     return dateFormatter string from  self          This gives you the following styles   short  medium  long  full   Example usage   let myDate   Date   myDate asString style   full       Wednesday  January 10  2018 myDate asString style   long       January 10  2018 myDate asString style   medium     Jan 10  2018 myDate asString style   short      1 10 18
