Mail.app style relative date formatter.

RelativeDateFormatter

Mail.app style relative date formatter. A reimplementation of TFGRelativeDateFormatter written in Swift.

Examples

	en_GB	en_US
Same Day	13:45	1:45 PM
Yesterday	Yesterday	Yesterday
Same Week	Monday	Monday
Same Year	15 Mar	Mar 15
Last Year	22/04/2013	4/22/13

Usage

RelativeDateFormatter instances should be cached where possible, similar to DateFormatter they are expensive to initialize.

Swift

let date = ...
let formatter = RelativeDateFormatter()
let relativeString = formatter.string(from: date)

Or, for a string relative to some other date:

let date = ...
let otherDate = ...
let formatter = RelativeDateFormatter()
let relativeString = formatter.string(from: date, relativeTo: otherDate)
