Questions & Help How to?

The cleanest way to do this is not to use LocalDate::from at all, but to call LocalDate/parse directly and pass the DateTimeFormatter as an argument:

(java.time.LocalDate/parse
  "2016-11-08T18:24:25Z"
  java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter/ISO_DATE_TIME)
;=> #object[java.time.LocalDate 0x16cddb1f "2016-11-08"]

(I found this searching for the best way to use java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter from Clojure, so I decided to record the solution here. It doesn’t answer the question as it was asked, but it will be useful for other searchers.)
