Usage
You can convert dates to clock face emojis and vice versa.
Date to Emoji
Create a new EmojiTimeFormatter, get the ClockFaceEmoji for your Date and print it. It's that simple.
let now = Date()
let formatter = EmojiTimeFormatter()
let clockFaceEmoji = formatter.clockFace(from: now)
print("It's \(clockFaceEmoji) o'clock.") // Output: It's 🕢 o'clock.
Emoji to Date
It's also possible to convert a ClockFaceEmoji back to a Date. Create a new EmojiTimeFormatter, get the Date for your ClockFaceEmoji and print it. It's that simple, again.
let twelveThirty = ClockFaceEmoji.twelveThirty
let formatter = EmojiTimeFormatter()
let date = formatter.date(from: twelveThirty)
print("It's \(date).") // Output: It's 1970-01-01 00:30:00 +0000.
Note: Actually it's not a date, it's a time relative to 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970.
