This library offers TimeIndependentDate, a type representing a date
independent of a particular time. It therefore represents approximately 48
hours of real time on Earth.
Most often, it is important that a date also near-precisely represent a point
in time. For that, we have Foundation.Date. TimeIndependentDate fills a
gap where, in limited circumstances, we need to deal with a date independent
of time. This is particularly useful when interfacing with third party
systems which supply dates independent of time.
// Initialise a date, throwing a `TimeIndependentDate` error if the supplied
// literal values are invalid.
let timeIndependentDate = try TimeIndependentDate(
year: 2020,
month: .january,
day: 1
)
// Parse a date from a string. Adjust encoding order as desired. A
// `TimeIndependentDateError` is thrown if the supplied string
// is not a valid date.
let timeIndependentDate = try TimeIndependentDate.from(
"2021-01-01",
encodingOrder: .dayFirst
