// Easily perform date operations
let secondsAfter = Date.now + .seconds(10)
let yearsBefore = Date.now - .years(3)
let monthsBefore = Date.now - .months(2)
let daysAfter = Date.now + .days(1)
...
    
// Simple and flexible formatting
"15.05.2025".date?.formatted(using: .date) // "15/05/25"
"15.05.2025".date?.formatted(using: .iso8601) // "2025-05-15T14:30:00Z"
