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.
This question is related to
swift
nsdate
nsdateformatter
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
just Step 1 > get the String value from JSON or dataSource
Step 2 > create a local variable and assign it.
let startDate = CurrentDashBoard.startdate
Step 3> create an instance of DateFormatter.
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
step 4> call the dateFormat from dateFormatter and provide saved date dataType.
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss"("may be String formate")
step 5> Assign the Local variable to this variable to convert.
let dateFromStringstartDate : NSDate = dateFormatter.date(from: startDate)! as NSDate
Step 6> provide your required date Formate by the following code.
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss"
Step 6> Assign it to label/text
cell.lblStartDate.text = String(format: "%@", strstartDate)
Code:
let startDate = CurrentDashBoard.startdate let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss" let dateFromStringstartDate :
NSDate = dateFormatter.date(from: startDate)! as NSDate
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss"
let strstartDate = dateFormatter.string(from: dateFromStringstartDate as Date)
Swift 3.0 - 4.2
import Foundation
extension String {
func toDate(withFormat format: String = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")-> Date?{
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(identifier: "Asia/Tehran")
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "fa-IR")
dateFormatter.calendar = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian)
dateFormatter.dateFormat = format
let date = dateFormatter.date(from: self)
return date
}
}
extension Date {
func toString(withFormat format: String = "EEEE ? d MMMM yyyy") -> String {
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "fa-IR")
dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(identifier: "Asia/Tehran")
dateFormatter.calendar = Calendar(identifier: .persian)
dateFormatter.dateFormat = format
let str = dateFormatter.string(from: self)
return str
}
}
Please use an ISO8601 parsing library for doing this. There are too many ways how the string could be encoded. Don't rely on a specific format and don't rely on the server sending always the same. The problems start with the 'Z' at the end and it will extend through all varieties of the standard. A parsing library will handle all cases and will always provide a safe conversion - whereas a fixed formatting string is likely to fail in the future.
You could use one of these libraries. They are also available on CococaPods:
https://github.com/boredzo/iso-8601-date-formatter/
https://github.com/malcommac/SwiftDate
Take a look at the implementations. They are both several hundred lines long - for good reason.
With regards to the question: You can pull out the date components from the date using NSDateComponents. The example on the website covers exactly your case.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nscalendar/1414841-components?language=objc
Please be aware, that converting your date will take into account the time zone. You might want to set the 'locale' of the NSCalendar explicitly.
make global function
func convertDateFormat(inputDate: String) -> String {
let olDateFormatter = DateFormatter()
olDateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"
let oldDate = olDateFormatter.date(from: inputDate)
let convertDateFormatter = DateFormatter()
convertDateFormatter.dateFormat = "MMM dd yyyy h:mm a"
return convertDateFormatter.string(from: oldDate!)
}
Called function and pass value in it
get_OutputStr = convertDateFormat(inputDate: "2019-03-30T05:30:00+0000")
and here is output

Sometimes, converting string to Date in swift can result to return nil so that you should add "!" mark to format.date function!
let dateFormatterUK = DateFormatter()
dateFormatterUK.dateFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy"
let stringDate = "11-03-2018"
let date = dateFormatterUK.date(from: stringDate)!
Swift 5. To see IF A DATE HAS PASSED:
let expiryDate = "2020-01-10" // Jan 10 2020
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
if Date() < dateFormatter.date(from: expiryDate) ?? Date() {
print("Not Yet expiryDate")
} else {
print("expiryDate has passed")
}
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 swift4,
var Msg_Date_ = "2019-03-30T05:30:00+0000"
let dateFormatterGet = DateFormatter()
dateFormatterGet.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"
let dateFormatterPrint = DateFormatter()
dateFormatterPrint.dateFormat = "MMM dd yyyy h:mm a" //"MMM d, h:mm a" for Sep 12, 2:11 PM
let datee = dateFormatterGet.date(from: Msg_Date_)
Msg_Date_ = dateFormatterPrint.string(from: datee ?? Date())
print(Msg_Date_)
//output :- Mar 30 2019 05:30 PM
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)
Just use SwifterSwift.
stringDate = "2020-04-26T08:56:17.987Z"
let date = Date(iso8601String: stringDate)
I was getting crazy with this format as well.
See the solution below.
Your String that came from your back or another source:
let isoDate = "2020-05-06 20:00:00-03"
Identify the date format
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX")
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd' 'HH:mm:ssZ"
let date = dateFormatter.date(from:isoDate)!
Now that you have the date as Date() you can change to whatever format you want using the formatDate.string
let formatDate = DateFormatter()
formatDate.dateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm"
let drawDate = formatDate.string(from: date)
print(drawDate)
Output:
06/05/2020 20:00
