Featured iPhone Development Resources,iOS Development Libraries,Objective-C,Open Source iOS Libraries And ToolsI’ve mentioned a number of helper libraries for working with NSDate such as this library for grabbing locale aware dates and times and a handy collection of NSFormatter classes including helpers for showing the time between two NSDate objects.
Here’s an excellent library for working with dates called NSMoment from Yannick Loriot.
NSMoment is inspired by the Moment.js library and provides an extensive number of methods for formatting, parsing, validating and manipulating dates.
Here’s a few examples from the readme showing off some of the included formatting, localization, and calculation methods in the library:
NSMoment *moment1 = [NSMoment momentWithDateAsString:@"20111031"];
NSLog(@"%@", [moment1 fromNow]); // 2 years ago
NSMoment *french = [[NSMoment now] addAmountOfTime:-3 forUnitKey:@"s"];
[french setLocale:[NSLocale localeWithLocaleIdentifier:@"fr_FR"]];
NSLog(@"%@", [french fromNow]); // il y a quelques secondes
You can find NSMoment on Github here.
A very useful library for working with dates.
