Core data matched date in swift

I am using UITextField date picker to save date in Core Data.

On date picker sender i got the date in this format: 2017-04-02 14:56:41.

I want to convert it to this format 02 April 2017.

How can i do it? Below is my code:

     var scheduledPickDate: NSDate!

      @IBAction func scheduleDateTextFieldBeginEditing(_ sender: UITextField) {

            let datePickerView:UIDatePicker = UIDatePicker()

            datePickerView.minimumDate = NSDate() as Date

            datePickerView.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerMode.date

            sender.inputView = datePickerView

            datePickerView.addTarget(self, action: #selector(WalkIn.ScheduledDateChanged), for: UIControlEvents.valueChanged)
        }

      func ScheduledDateChanged(sender:UIDatePicker){


            let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()

            dateFormatter.dateStyle = DateFormatter.Style.long

            dateFormatter.timeStyle = DateFormatter.Style.none

            dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd MMMM yyyy"

             //print(sender.date)

            scheduledPickDate = scheduledPickDate as NSDate!

            //print(scheduledPickDate)


            scheduledDateWalkinPatient.text = dateFormatter.string(from: sender.date)

        }

// on save function 

 managedObj.setValue(scheduledPickDate, forKey: "dateSchedule") // 2017-04-02 14:56:41

How can I convert var scheduledPickDate into this format 02 April 2017?

In core data you should store your scheduledDate as an NSDate type entity. when you retrieve that date, you can use your dateFormatter. However, I would suggest using the .longStyle as dateFormat instead of "dd MMMM yyyy". It is way better for localization.

You're already formatting the date with:

dateFormatter.string(from: sender.date)

You just can't store in Coredata a date in the format you want (unless you're using a String as attribute). If then you need to retrieve that date and show it to the user, you need to format it again
