What's the benefit of calling f.setLocalizedDateFormatFromTemplate(template) over doing
f.dateFormat = DateFormatter.dateFormat(fromTemplate: dateFormatTemplate, options: 0, locale: locale)?

Well, here I have to test that the setLocalizedDataFormatFromTemplate will generate the same format as DateFormatter.dateFormat(fromTemplate: dateFormatTemplate, options: 0, locale: locale) if I call directly the latter how can I test it?

That's not what I meant - though I can see how the placement of this comment made my intent misleading.

I actually meant this as a comment about the entire pull request. I don't really see the added benefit of adding a method like setLocalizedDateFormatFromTemplate() especially when you can just call f.dateFormat = DateFormatter.dateFormat(fromTemplate: dateFormatTemplate, options: 0, locale: locale).

Oh, right, my bad :)
Maybe you have to ask this question to the Foundation guys inside Cupertino, I merely implement it for removing the NSUnimplemented() call, is a new API added in iOS 10 or 9 if I'm not mistaken

I am one of the Foundation "guys" 😉. Looking at the implementation of the obj-c version of this method, the method essentially is meant to be purely a convenience so what you've implemented here is fine.

I will write here because it seems the correct place, I'm sorry for all the people who are working on Foundation and on every other project around the world to have used the term "guys" for reference the group working on Foundation. There are many words to indicate a group of people (like, you know "people") and I'm very sorry to have choose and write the less inclusive of all, I would like to apologise to every person who have read my comment. Please forgive me, and keep up with your amazing work.


let dateFormat = DateFormatter.dateFormat(fromTemplate: template, options: 0, locale: locale)
XCTAssertEqual(f.dateFormat, dateFormat)
}
