date(with:)

Creates and returns a date object with a date and time value specified by a given string in the international string representation format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS ±HHMM).

Declaration

class func date(with aString: String) -> Any

Parameters

  • aString:

    A string that specifies a date and time value in the international string representation format—YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS ±HHMM, where ±HHMM is a time zone offset in hours and minutes from UTC (for example, “2001-03-24 10:45:32 +0600”).

    You must specify all fields of the format string, including the time zone offset, which must have a plus or minus sign prefix.

Return Value

An NSDate object with a date and time value specified by aString.

Discussion

To create a date object from a string, you should typically use a date formatter object instead (see DateFormatter and Data Formatting Guide).
