NSDateFormatter time format depending on Locale

Question

I\'m experiencing a really strange issue that sounds more like a system bug. I want to format a date using only Hour and Minute information and, if necessary, display AM/PM

Answer 1

Swift 3 & 4:

extension Date {
  var localizedStringTime: String {
    return DateFormatter.localizedString(from: self, dateStyle: .none, timeStyle: .short)
  }
}

Answer 2

You can use the localized string from date function like this...

extension NSDate {
    func localizedStringTime()->String {
        return NSDateFormatter.localizedStringFromDate(self, dateStyle: NSDateFormatterStyle.NoStyle, timeStyle: NSDateFormatterStyle.ShortStyle)
    }
}
