An iOS UILabel subclass that simply displays the current date/time and keeps itself up to date.
RCRTimeLabel has been verified as working with Xcode 6.1 and iOS 8.1.
Additionally, RCRTimeLabel depends on RCRTimers. If installing via CocoaPods you will get RCRTimers automatically.
All code uses ARC.
Firstly, if you are not installing via CocoaPods you will need to obtain RCRTimers and add it to your project. If you are using CocoaPods this dependency will be satisfied automatically and there is nothing you need to do here.
Next, add the RCRTimeLabel folder and code to your project.
You can then use the label programmatically or via Interface Builder as you would any other UILabel - the only real difference being that this label will display the current date/time and will keep itself up to date, updating its text as time passes.
Assuming you're using Interface Builder, you can simply drag a regular UILabel out into your view and then customize it, specify its font, and so on, as you normally would.
Then, using the Identity Inspector, set the label’s class to be RCRTimeLabel.
In the simplest case, that's it - you're done! By default the label will present itself using NSDateFormatterStyle values of NSDateFormatterNoStyle and NSDateFormatterShortStyle for date and time respectively.
If you would prefer to provide a custom style for the date or time, you can do so by specifying values for the label’s dateStyle and timeStyle properties via the User Defined Runtime Attributes section of the Identity Inspector. Note that you’ll need to enter numeric values that correspond to the NSDateFormatterStyle enumeration when doing this.
Examples of the default label and labels with custom date and time styles can be seen in the sample project.
A sample project demonstrating several examples of using the label can be found in the RCRTimeLabelSample folder.
The latest API documentation can be found on CocoaDocs.
