Custom decoder for date

[staticdreams]

How would I go about decoding custom data, such as custom formatted dates? Do we have access to JSONDecoder so we can do something like this: ?

struct Event: Codable {
    var name: String?
    var createdDate: Date?
}

extension DateFormatter {
    static let dateFormatter: DateFormatter = {
     let formatter = DateFormatter()
     formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
      return formatter
    }()
}

let decoder: JSONDecoder = JSONDecoder()
decoder.dateDecodingStrategy = .formatted(.dateFormatter)

You can use onData and manually perform Json decoding:

Request {
    ...
}
.onData { data in
    let decoder = JSONDecoder()
    ...
    let events = try? decoder.decode([Event].self, from: data)
}

Thanks I will try that. Sorry for stupid questions, I couldn't find an example in the docs :)
