DateFormatterBucket

A singleton to hold all date formatters with custom date format.

Why?

Creating date formatters is expensive. When ever possible you should reuse date formatters rather than creating new ones.

This micro packages is a singletong storing all date formatters with custom date format.

Usage

let dateFormatter = DateFormatterBucket.shared["yyyy-dd-MM"]

// lots
// ...
// of
// ...
// code

let newDateFormatter = DateFormatterBucket.shared["yyyy-dd-MM"]

These two date formatters are the same instance. When calling DateFormatterBucket.shared["yyyy-dd-MM"] a date formatter is generated if it is not already there. Otherwise the existing date formatter is returned.

You can also create a date formatter with a specific date and time style like this:

let dateFormatter = DateFormatterBucket.shared.formatter(dateStyle: .long, timeStyle: .short)

Installation

Add as Swift Package in Xcode.
