How can I convert string date to NSDate?

Question

I want to convert \"2014-07-15 06:55:14.198000+00:00\" this string date to NSDate in Swift.

Answer 1

Swift 3,4:

2 useful conversions:

string(from: Date) // to convert from Date to a String
date(from: String) // to convert from String to Date

Usage: 1.

let date = Date() //gives today's date
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd.MM.yyyy"
let todaysDateInUKFormat = dateFormatter.string(from: date)

2.

 let someDateInString = "23.06.2017"
 var getDateFromString = dateFormatter.date(from: someDateInString)
