Swift Tutorial: DateFormatter (dateStyle, Locale, am/pm, dateFormat, weekdaySymbols)

How to format dates and times in Swift using DateFormatter styles, locales, and custom formats.

In this Swift tutorial we’ll look at how to use DateFormatter to format dates in both a pre-defined way using Swift’s ‘style’ enums, as well as custom formats using dateFormat. We’ll format date, time, weekday symbols, and more. Days: E, EE, EEE - Wed EEEE - Wednesday / or weekday symbol EEEEE - W Months: M - 4 MM - 04 MMM - Apr MMMM - April MMMMM - A Years: Y - 2021 YY - 21 YYY - 2021 YYYY - 2021 year: y, yy, yyy, yyyy - 2021 Time Zone: Z, ZZ, ZZZ - -04:00 ZZZZ - GMT-04:00 Hit the like button, comment, subscribe, and hit the dinner bell to be notified of my next video!
