How to send Date and Time separately to backend in swift? - swift

Question

fromDateLabel.text getting date and time from datepicker.. which i need to send date and time seperatedly to backend
when i do DateFormatter date is coming correctly but in time, only two digit values are working means time taking 10, 11, 12 O'Clocks. if i take 1,2,3,4,5 its not working
code: here single digit time not working
var fromDateArr = fromDateLabel.text!.components(separatedBy: ",")
fromDate = fromDateArr[0]
fromTime = fromDateArr[1].replacingOccurrences(of: " ", with: "")
let inputFormatter = DateFormatter()
inputFormatter.dateFormat = "MM/dd/yy"
let showDateFrom = inputFormatter.date(from: fromDate)
inputFormatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy"
formateFromdate = inputFormatter.string(from: showDateFrom!)
print("formate from date \(formateFromdate)")
if i formate date and time like below nothing works
let fromDate = fromDateLabel.text!
let inputFormatter = DateFormatter()
inputFormatter.dateFormat = "MM/dd/yy, hh:mm:ssa"
guard let showDateFrom = inputFormatter.date(from: fromDate) else { return }
inputFormatter.dateFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy" // -> to get date only
formateFromdate = inputFormatter.string(from: showDateFrom)
print("from date: ", formateFromdate)
inputFormatter.dateFormat = "hh:mm a" // -> to get time only
formateFromTime = inputFormatter.string(from: showDateFrom)
print("from time")
