Calendar dates for Swift, built around DateComponents. Provides value objects for representing dates and times that are not directly bound to specific UTC offsets or timezones. This is useful when working with future events, as in the case of event and appointment scheduling apps.
CalendarDate provides the following value types:
CalendarTime: Represents a wall time, such as "2:00PM".CalendarDate: Represents a calendar date, such as a birthday.CalendarDateTime: GroupsCalendarDateandCalendarTimeto represent a date + time.
You can initialize a CalendarDateTime value directly and convert it to a Swift Date when you need to display it to the user.
let meetingDate = CalendarDateTime(year: 2020, month: 4, day: 1, hour: 10, minute: 30)
let meetingTimezone = TimeZone(identifier: "America/New_York")
let date = meetingDate.asDate(timezone: meetingTimezone!)
let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.dateStyle = .long
formatter.timeStyle = .long
formatter.timeZone = TimeZone(identifier: "America/New_York") // Or .current
formatter.string(from: date) // -> "April 1, 2020 at 10:30:00 AM EDT"The value types provided by this library all conform to Codable.
