swiftUI - Date Comparison - date

Question

I need to compare 2 dates and if it is the same date, do something... (dd/MM to dd/MM only). I generate today's date, then set my own date and when compared, the same dates do not match. (When displaying each date (as Text), the result is the same. E.g. 10-04 and 10-04.)
struct eddEntryView : View { // ContentView
let dateFormatter: DateFormatter = {
let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM"
return formatter
}()
#State private var today = Date()
let specificDate: Date = {
var components = DateComponents()
components.day = 14
components.month = 04
let newDate = Calendar.current.date(from: components) ?? Date()
return newDate
}()
var entry: Provider.Entry
var body: some View {
HStack{
VStack(alignment: .leading){
if Calendar.current.isDateInToday(specificDate) // today is 14-04, specific date is set for 14-04, but it doesn't work
{
Text("THE SAME: \(specificDate, formatter: dateFormatter)")
.font(.title)
.foregroundColor(Color(.label))
.bold()
Spacer()
} else {
Text("Not the same day... \(specificDate, formatter: dateFormatter)")
.font(.title)
.foregroundColor(Color(.label))
.bold()
Spacer()
}
}
}

Answer 1

There is a function isDateInToday(Date) on Calendar. You could use it like this:
if Calendar.current.isDateInToday(dueDate) {
//...
}
There is also a function that compares whether to date fall on the same day:
Calendar.current.isDate(today, inSameDayAs: dueDate)

Answer 2

Solution:
let today = Date() // Actual date
func formatDate(date: Date) -> String {
let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM"
return formatter.string(from: date)
}
and then:
if ("\(formatDate(date: today))") .elementsEqual("14-04") // specific date {
Text("the same: \(formatDate(date: today))")
// ... do something for the same day
Spacer()
} else {
// ...
}
