How to format text inside text views - SwiftUI by Example

SwiftUI’s text views have an optional `formatter` parameter that lets us customize the way data is presented inside the label. This is important because often values are updated for us when something happens in our program, so by attaching a formatter SwiftUI can make sure our data looks right on our behalf.

Just a note: if you follow the example, you'll get something like "2019 M07 1" in static preview, once you click the play button to run live preview, the date will be displayed correctly ""July 1, 2019"

Thanks. Why does the 2nd DateFormatter have () while the first one does not? Also why's there a () at the end of static let?

How can you write static let for computed properties? Shouldnt it be static var?

Thanks for videos about SwiftUI. I want to know why you use "Self.taskDateFormat" with capital S. I do not get it. Could you explain?

Arrrgh! Formatting data in the view? Please don't. That's the view model's responsibility. The view is responsible for its own appearance not the data's appearance.
