Displaying system date as dd MMM

Question

I am currently working on a swift project in Xcode.

I am trying to display the system date from the users device in the format of dd MMM.

I currently have

dateLabel.text = DateFormatter.localizedString(from: Date(), dateStyle: DateFormatter.Style.medium, timeStyle:DateFormatter.Style.none)

this is outputting a MMM dd, YYYY to the display,

is there anyway to output this as dd MMM.

thanks in advance

you can use DateFormatter Class and set any valid format for output:

let date = Date()
        let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
//        dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MMM dd, YYYY"
        dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd MMM"
        let stringDate = dateFormatter.string(from: date)
        print(stringDate)
