How to display date in specific format. For example,
01 August 1989, or in specific locale (Russian: 1 августа 1989) or in specific timezone(MSK or PST)
let date = Date()
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd MMM yyyy HH:mm"
label1.text = "With Format: \(dateFormatter.string(from: date))"
let locale = Locale(identifier: "ru")
dateFormatter.locale = locale
label2.text = "With RU Locale: \(dateFormatter.string(from: date))"
let timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "MSK")
dateFormatter.timeZone = timeZone
label3.text = "With MSK TimeZone: \(dateFormatter.string(from: date))"
Result
What if we get string with data in specific format and we need to display it in other format(and in specific timezone and specific locale).
For example,
input format: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ
output format: dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm
Firstly, we set input format to DateFormatter and convert input string to date. After that we set nre format and convert date to new string.
let dateStr = "2016-10-31T14:51:21.780+08:00"
label4.text = "Before: \(dateStr)"
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"
let timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "MSK")
dateFormatter.timeZone = timeZone
let locale = Locale(identifier: "ru")
dateFormatter.locale = locale
let date = dateFormatter.date(from: dateStr)
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm"
let formattedDateStr = dateFormatter.string(from: date!)
label5.text = "After: \(formattedDateStr)"
