DateFormatterConstructor

This is simple DateFormatter extension which allows you to create a DateFormatter instance with a specific date pattern in one line.

So instead of writing:

let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.locale = .current
formatter.timeZone = .current
formatter.dateFormat = "HH:mm:ss"

you write:

let formatter = DateFormatter.custom(format: .fullTime(format: .twentyFour))

You can also optionally select the locale and timezone:

let formatter = DateFormatter.custom(format: DateFormatter.DateFormat, locale: Locale(identifier: "en-US"), timeZone: .gmt)

or leave them as default as

.current

if you do not specify a format, the .fullTimeAndDate format will be used by default:

let formatter = DateFormatter.custom()
