I want to convert a string into a date and use a small function. If I run the code the results is different from the input:
let startDateString = "20-02-2022-15-00"
print(startDateString)
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "DD-MM-YYYY-HH:mm"
dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone.current
let startDate = dateFormatter.date(from: startDateString)
print(startDate!)
the startDateString is "20-02-2022-15-00"
the result of startDate is: 2021-12-27 14:00:00 +0000
The results has the wrong format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM vs DD-MM-YYYY-HH:mm
and the date is about two month in the past.
What am I doing wrong?
>Solution :
You need yyyy
not YYYY
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy-HH:mm"
