DatabaseDateDecodingStrategy

public enum DatabaseDateDecodingStrategy

DatabaseDateDecodingStrategy specifies how FetchableRecord types that also adopt the standard Decodable protocol decode their Date properties.

For example:

struct Player: FetchableRecord, Decodable {
    static let databaseDateDecodingStrategy = DatabaseDateDecodingStrategy.timeIntervalSince1970

    var name: String
    var registrationDate: Date // decoded from epoch timestamp
}

  • The strategy that uses formatting from the Date structure.

    It decodes numeric values as a number of seconds since Epoch (midnight UTC on January 1st, 1970).

    It decodes strings in the following formats, assuming UTC time zone. Missing components are assumed to be zero:

    • YYYY-MM-DD
    • YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM
    • YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
    • YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SSS
    • YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM
    • YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS
    • YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSS

  • Decodes numeric values as a number of seconds between the date and midnight UTC on 1 January 2001

    Declaration

    Swift

    case timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate

  • Decodes numeric values as a number of seconds between the date and midnight UTC on 1 January 1970

    Declaration

    Swift

    case timeIntervalSince1970
    Show on GitHub

  • Decodes numeric values as a number of milliseconds between the date and midnight UTC on 1 January 1970

    Declaration

    Swift

    case millisecondsSince1970

  • Decodes dates according to the ISO 8601 standards

    Declaration

    Swift

    case iso8601
    Show on GitHub

  • Decodes a String, according to the provided formatter

    Declaration

    Swift

    case formatted(DateFormatter)
    Show on GitHub

  • Decodes according to the user-provided function.

    If the database value does not contain a suitable value, the function must return nil (GRDB will interpret this nil result as a conversion error, and react accordingly).
