DatePicker with configurable date components.

• compared to UIDatePicker you decide if you want to display day, month, year, hour, minute and am/pm in any combination
• supported date symbols are yyyy, MMM, d, HH, h, mm, j, a
• order of the date components, month and AM/PM symbols is defined by the current NSLocale
• availability of AM / PM is automatically defined by NSLocale except you explicitely set it
• supports minimumDate and maximumDate
• UIPickerView subclass

Installation

Install via cocoapods by adding this to your Podfile:

pod "PMEDatePicker"

Usage

Import header file:

#import "PMEDatePicker.h"

Initialize the PMEDatePicker in code or in your Storyboard or XIB file like an UIPickerView as it is an UIPickerView subclass.

You should not set the delegate or dataSource property as a PMEDatePicker object is it's own delegate and dataSource. Use dateDelegate instead:

self.datePicker.dateDelegate = self;

To define the available date components, use the dateFormatTemplate property with date symbols:

self.datePicker.dateFormatTemplate = @"yyyyMMM";

Supported date symbols are:

• yyyy: full year
• MMM: short month name
• d: day (single digit)
• HH: hours, 24 hour format (two digits)
• h: hours, 12 hour format (one digit)
• mm: minutes (two digits)
• j: expands to HH, h, mm, a depending on locale
• a: AM/PM symbol

Default is yyyyMMMdjmm, which means that full year, short month names, day, minutes and hours in 24 hour or 12 hour format with AM/PM symbols depending on the locale are displayed.

The order of date components is determined by the current NSLocale.

It is possible to set a minimumDate and maximumDate. The currently selected date can be retrieved and set via date property or via setDate:animated: method.
