How to format dates inside text views
Updated for Xcode 12.5
New in iOS 14
SwiftUI’s text views come with two specific date formatters to make dates look better on screen: one to handle single dates, and one to handle date ranges.
The date range version is actually simpler, because you just provide a closed date range and it will make sure it’s formatted appropriately according to the user’s locale:
Text(Date()...Date().addingTimeInterval(600))For example, that might show “10:30AM-10:40AM”.
When working with single dates, you should provide a style parameter to accompany it to determine how the date should be formatted. Here are some options:
VStack {
// show just the date
Text(Date().addingTimeInterval(600), style: .date)
// show just the time
Text(Date().addingTimeInterval(600), style: .time)
// show the relative distance from now, automatically updating
Text(Date().addingTimeInterval(600), style: .relative)
// make a timer style, automatically updating
Text(Date().addingTimeInterval(600), style: .timer)
}
