Trying to implement a custom date encoding strategy using the following leads to a compile time error (smallest possible example to create error, not my prod code here)
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
encoder.dateEncodingStrategy = .custom({ date, encoder in
encoder.singleValueContainer().encode(date.timeIntervalSince1970)
})
This produces the following error (which makes sense as it is not an inout variable)
Cannot use mutating member on immutable value: function call returns immutable value
Am I using the API incorrectly? If so what is the correct way to encode the data?
Answer my own question here, it was a silly mistake from me, the error was about the container not the encoder, correct code looks as follows
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
encoder.dateEncodingStrategy = .custom({ date, encoder in
var container = encoder.singleValueContainer()
try container.encode(date.timeIntervalSince1970)
})
It's been a long year!!!!
