Creating an NSDateFormatter in Swift? [closed]

Answer 1

I've tried to apply the Singleton approach found here. This creates a singleton that could be loaded up with different the different formats you use within your application. For example, you could access it anywhere in your application with formatter.fromDateTime(myString)

let formatter = FormatterFormats()

class FormatterFormats {
    var dateTime: NSDateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()

    class var sharedInstance:FormatterFormats {
        return formatter
    }

    func fromDateTime(dateString: String) -> NSDate {
        return dateTime.dateFromString(dateString)!
    }

    init() {
        dateTime.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"
    }

}
