+(NSString*)date2str:(NSDate*)myNSDateInstance onlyDate:(BOOL)onlyDate{
    NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    if (onlyDate) {
        [formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"];
    }else{
        [formatter setDateFormat: @"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];
    }

    //Optionally for time zone conversions
    //   [formatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:@"..."]];

    NSString *stringFromDate = [formatter stringFromDate:myNSDateInstance];
    return stringFromDate;
}

+(NSDate*)str2date:(NSString*)dateStr{
    if ([dateStr isKindOfClass:[NSDate class]]) {
        return (NSDate*)dateStr;

    NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormat setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"];

使用扩展有清晰的代码

您可以编写一个扩展来将任何Date对象转换为任何所需的日历和格式

extension Date{
    func asString(format: String = "yy/MM/dd HH:mm",
                  for identifier: Calendar.Identifier = .persian) -> String {
        let formatter = DateFormatter()
        formatter.calendar = Calendar(identifier: identifier)
        formatter.dateFormat = format
        
        return formatter.string(from: self)
    }
}

然后这样使用它:

let now = Date()

print(now.asString())  // prints -> 00/04/18 20:25
print(now.asString(format: "yyyy/MM/dd"))  // prints -> 1400/04/18
print(now.asString(format: "MM/dd", for: .gregorian))  //  prints -> 07/09  

要了解如何指定您想要的格式字符串，请查看此链接。 关于如何格式化日期的完整参考，请参阅Apple官方日期格式化指南。

如果你没有NSDate -descriptionWithCalendarFormat:timeZone:locale: available(我不相信iPhone/Cocoa Touch包括这个)，你可能需要使用strftime和一些c风格的字符串。您可以使用NSDate -timeIntervalSince1970从NSDate中获取UNIX时间戳。

迅速:

var formatter = NSDateFormatter()
formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy"
var dateString = formatter.stringFromDate(YourNSDateInstanceHERE)

swift格式:

func dateFormatterWithCalendar(calndarIdentifier: Calendar.Identifier, dateFormat: String) -> DateFormatter {

    let formatter = DateFormatter()
    formatter.calendar = Calendar(identifier: calndarIdentifier)
    formatter.dateFormat = dateFormat

    return formatter
}


//Usage
let date = Date()
let fotmatter = dateFormatterWithCalendar(calndarIdentifier: .gregorian, dateFormat: "yyyy")
let dateString = fotmatter.string(from: date)
print(dateString) //2018

只需添加这个扩展:

extension NSDate {
    var stringValue: String {
        let formatter = NSDateFormatter()
        formatter.dateFormat = "yourDateFormat"
        return formatter.stringFromDate(self)
    }
}
