I'm trying to make a DatePicker with a choice between today and tomorrow. Two buttons to switch Date Range.
How to make today range? i. e. Now -> End of the day
How to make tomorrow range? i. e. Start of the next day -> End of the next day
what i've tried, but it's not correct
var todayRange: ClosedRange<Date> {
let calendar = Calendar.current
var endComponents = DateComponents()
endComponents.day = 1
let endDate = calendar.date(byAdding: endComponents, to: Date.now)!
return Date.now ... endDate
}
var tommorowRange: ClosedRange<Date> {
let calendar = Calendar.current
var startComponents = DateComponents()
startComponents.day = 2
var endComponents = DateComponents()
endComponents.day = 1
let startDate = calendar.date(byAdding: startComponents, to: Date.now)!
let endDate = calendar.date(byAdding: endComponents, to: startDate)!
return startDate ... endDate
}
You're close.
I would suggest:
Get the start of day for today
Add 1 day
Subtract 0.001 seconds.
That will give you the end of today.
Here is some sample code.
let today = Date.now
let startOfToday = Calendar.current.startOfDay(for: today)
let oneDay = DateComponents(day: 1)
guard let tomorrow = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: oneDay, to: startOfToday) else { fatalError() }
let endOfToday = tomorrow.advanced(by: -0.001)
let endOfTodayString = DateFormatter.localizedString(from: endOfToday, dateStyle: .medium, timeStyle: .medium)
print("End of today = " + endOfTodayString)
guard let endOfTomorrow = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: oneDay, to: endOfToday) else { fatalError() }
let endOfTomorrowString = DateFormatter.localizedString(from: endOfToday, dateStyle: .medium, timeStyle: .medium)
print("End of tomorrow = " + endOfTomorrowString)
In my locale (US), on October 7th, that generates:
End of today = Oct 7, 2022 at 11:59:59 PM
End of tomorrow = Oct 7, 2022 at 11:59:59 PM
I'm trying to get the first and last day of the month in swift.
So far I have the following:
let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
let date = NSDate()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
let components = calendar.components([.Year, .Month, .Day, .Hour, .Minute, .Second], fromDate: date)
let month = components.month
let year = components.year
let startOfMonth = ("\(year)-\(month)-01")
But I'm not sure how to get the last date. Is there a built in method I'm missing? Obviously it has to take into account leap years etc.
Swift 3 and 4 drop-in extensions
This actually gets a lot easier with Swift 3+:
You can do it without guard (you could if you wanted to, but because DateComponents is a non-optional type now, it's no longer necessary).
Using iOS 8's startOfDayForDate (now startOfDay), you don't need to manually set the time to 12pm unless you're doing some really crazy calendar calculations across time zones.
It's worth mentioning that some of the other answers claim you can shortcut this by using Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .month, value: 0, to: Date())!, but where this fails, is that it doesn't actually zero out the day, or account for differences in timezones.
Here you go:
extension Date {
func startOfMonth() -> Date {
return Calendar.current.date(from: Calendar.current.dateComponents([.year, .month], from: Calendar.current.startOfDay(for: self)))!
}
func endOfMonth() -> Date {
return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: DateComponents(month: 1, day: -1), to: self.startOfMonth())!
}
}
print(Date().startOfMonth()) // "2018-02-01 08:00:00 +0000\n"
print(Date().endOfMonth()) // "2018-02-28 08:00:00 +0000\n"
You get the first day of the month simply with
let components = calendar.components([.Year, .Month], fromDate: date)
let startOfMonth = calendar.dateFromComponents(components)!
print(dateFormatter.stringFromDate(startOfMonth)) // 2015-11-01
To get the last day of the month, add one month and subtract one day:
let comps2 = NSDateComponents()
comps2.month = 1
comps2.day = -1
let endOfMonth = calendar.dateByAddingComponents(comps2, toDate: startOfMonth, options: [])!
print(dateFormatter.stringFromDate(endOfMonth)) // 2015-11-30
Alternatively, use the rangeOfUnit method which gives you
the start and the length of the month:
var startOfMonth : NSDate?
var lengthOfMonth : NSTimeInterval = 0
calendar.rangeOfUnit(.Month, startDate: &startOfMonth, interval: &lengthOfMonth, forDate: date)
For a date on the last day of month, add the length of the month minus one second:
let endOfMonth = startOfMonth!.dateByAddingTimeInterval(lengthOfMonth - 1)
Updated for Swift5:
extension Date {
var startOfDay: Date {
return Calendar.current.startOfDay(for: self)
}
var startOfMonth: Date {
let calendar = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian)
let components = calendar.dateComponents([.year, .month], from: self)
return calendar.date(from: components)!
}
var endOfDay: Date {
var components = DateComponents()
components.day = 1
components.second = -1
return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: components, to: startOfDay)!
}
var endOfMonth: Date {
var components = DateComponents()
components.month = 1
components.second = -1
return Calendar(identifier: .gregorian).date(byAdding: components, to: startOfMonth)!
}
func isMonday() -> Bool {
let calendar = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian)
let components = calendar.dateComponents([.weekday], from: self)
return components.weekday == 2
}
}
With Swift 3 & iOS 10 the easiest way I found to do this is Calendar's dateInterval(of:for:):
guard let interval = calendar.dateInterval(of: .month, for: Date()) else { return }
You can then use interval.start and interval.end to get the dates you need.
Swift 3
Many date example for :
Last 6 month,
last 3 month,
yesterday, last 7 day, last 30 day, previous month,
current month start & end, last month start & end date
let startDate = dateFormatter.string(from: Date().getThisMonthStart()!)
let endDate = dateFormatter.string(from: Date().getThisMonthEnd()!)
extension Date {
func getLast6Month() -> Date? {
return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .month, value: -6, to: self)
}
func getLast3Month() -> Date? {
return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .month, value: -3, to: self)
}
func getYesterday() -> Date? {
return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: -1, to: self)
}
func getLast7Day() -> Date? {
return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: -7, to: self)
}
func getLast30Day() -> Date? {
return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: -30, to: self)
}
func getPreviousMonth() -> Date? {
return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .month, value: -1, to: self)
}
// This Month Start
func getThisMonthStart() -> Date? {
let components = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.year, .month], from: self)
return Calendar.current.date(from: components)!
}
func getThisMonthEnd() -> Date? {
let components:NSDateComponents = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.year, .month], from: self) as NSDateComponents
components.month += 1
components.day = 1
components.day -= 1
return Calendar.current.date(from: components as DateComponents)!
}
//Last Month Start
func getLastMonthStart() -> Date? {
let components:NSDateComponents = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.year, .month], from: self) as NSDateComponents
components.month -= 1
return Calendar.current.date(from: components as DateComponents)!
}
//Last Month End
func getLastMonthEnd() -> Date? {
let components:NSDateComponents = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.year, .month], from: self) as NSDateComponents
components.day = 1
components.day -= 1
return Calendar.current.date(from: components as DateComponents)!
}
}
Swift 4
If you only need the ordinal day:
func lastDay(ofMonth m: Int, year y: Int) -> Int {
let cal = Calendar.current
var comps = DateComponents(calendar: cal, year: y, month: m)
comps.setValue(m + 1, for: .month)
comps.setValue(0, for: .day)
let date = cal.date(from: comps)!
return cal.component(.day, from: date)
}
lastDay(ofMonth: 2, year: 2018) // 28
lastDay(ofMonth: 2, year: 2020) // 29
This is the simplest way that I found (Swift 5+):
extension Date {
func getStart(of component: Calendar.Component, calendar: Calendar = Calendar.current) -> Date? {
return calendar.dateInterval(of: component, for: self)?.start
}
func getEnd(of component: Calendar.Component, calendar: Calendar = Calendar.current) -> Date? {
return calendar.dateInterval(of: component, for: self)?.end
}
}
Here is easiest solution:
extension Date {
func startOfMonth() -> Date {
let interval = Calendar.current.dateInterval(of: .month, for: self)
return (interval?.start.toLocalTime())! // Without toLocalTime it give last months last date
}
func endOfMonth() -> Date {
let interval = Calendar.current.dateInterval(of: .month, for: self)
return interval!.end
}
// Convert UTC (or GMT) to local time
func toLocalTime() -> Date {
let timezone = TimeZone.current
let seconds = TimeInterval(timezone.secondsFromGMT(for: self))
return Date(timeInterval: seconds, since: self)
}}
and then call these with your date instance:
print(Date().startOfMonth())
print(Date().endOfMonth())
2017...
First, get the month you need:
let cal = Calendar.current
let d = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .month, value: 0, to: Date())!
// for "last month" just use -1, for "next month" just use 1, etc
To get the day-of-the-week for the first day of the month:
let c = cal.dateComponents([.year, .month], from: d)
let FDOM = cal.date(from: c)!
let dowFDOM = cal.component(.weekday, from: FDOM)
print("the day-of-week on the 1st is ... \(dowFDOM)")
// so, that's 1=Sunday, 2=Monday, etc.
To get the number of days in the month:
let r = cal.range(of: .day, in: .month, for: d)!
let kDays = r.count
print("the number of days is ... \(kDays)")
With Swift 3, you can choose one of the two following patters in order to retrieve the first and last days of a month.
#1. Using Calendar dateComponents(_:from:), date(from:) and date(byAdding:to:wrappingComponents:) methods
With this pattern, you first get the date of the first day of a month then add a month and remove a day from it in order to get the date of the last day of the month. The Playground code below shows how to set it:
import Foundation
// Set calendar and date
let calendar = Calendar.current
let date = calendar.date(byAdding: DateComponents(day: -10), to: Date())!
// Get first day of month
let firstDayComponents = calendar.dateComponents([.year, .month], from: date)
let firstDay = calendar.date(from: firstDayComponents)!
// Get last day of month
let lastDayComponents = DateComponents(month: 1, day: -1)
let lastDay = calendar.date(byAdding: lastDayComponents, to: firstDay)!
// Set date formatter
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_UK")
dateFormatter.dateStyle = .long
dateFormatter.timeStyle = .long
// Print results
print(dateFormatter.string(from: date)) // Prints: 22 March 2017 at 18:07:15 CET
print(dateFormatter.string(from: firstDay)) // Prints: 1 March 2017 at 00:00:00 CET
print(dateFormatter.string(from: lastDay)) // Prints: 31 March 2017 at 00:00:00 CEST
#2. Using Calendar range(of:in:for:), dateComponents(_:from:) and date(from:) and methods
With this pattern, you get a range of absolute day values in a month and then retrieve the dates of the first day and last day of the month from it. The Playground code below shows how to set it:
import Foundation
// Set calendar and date
let calendar = Calendar.current
let date = calendar.date(byAdding: DateComponents(day: -10), to: Date())!
// Get range of days in month
let range = calendar.range(of: .day, in: .month, for: date)! // Range(1..<32)
// Get first day of month
var firstDayComponents = calendar.dateComponents([.year, .month], from: date)
firstDayComponents.day = range.lowerBound
let firstDay = calendar.date(from: firstDayComponents)!
// Get last day of month
var lastDayComponents = calendar.dateComponents([.year, .month], from: date)
lastDayComponents.day = range.upperBound - 1
//lastDayComponents.day = range.count // also works
let lastDay = calendar.date(from: lastDayComponents)!
// Set date formatter
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_UK")
dateFormatter.dateStyle = .long
dateFormatter.timeStyle = .long
// Print results
print(dateFormatter.string(from: date)) // prints: 22 March 2017 at 18:07:15 CET
print(dateFormatter.string(from: firstDay)) // prints: 1 March 2017 at 00:00:00 CET
print(dateFormatter.string(from: lastDay)) // prints: 31 March 2017 at 00:00:00 CEST
In swift 3, if you put 0 to day component you can get the last day of the month. There's an example code:
public func isMoreDays(date: Date, asc: Bool)->Bool{
//components
var dayComponents = self.getDateComponents(date: date)
//asc is true if ascendant or false if descendant
dayComponents.day = asc ? 0 : 1
//plus 1 to month 'cos if you set up day to 0 you are going to the previous month
dayComponents.month = asc ? dayComponents.month! + 1 : dayComponents.month
//instantiate calendar and get the date
let calendar : Calendar = NSCalendar.current
let day = calendar.date(from: dayComponents)
//date comparison
if(day?.compare(date) == .orderedSame){
return false
}
return true
}
You can use the following extensions here :
let today = Date()
let startOfMonth = today.beginning(of: .month)
let endOfMonth = today.end(of: .month)
I'm wondering if there is some new and awesome possibility to get the amount of days between two NSDates in Swift / the "new" Cocoa?
E.g. like in Ruby I would do:
(end_date - start_date).to_i
You have to consider the time difference as well. For example if you compare the dates 2015-01-01 10:00 and 2015-01-02 09:00, days between those dates will return as 0 (zero) since the difference between those dates is less than 24 hours (it's 23 hours).
If your purpose is to get the exact day number between two dates, you can work around this issue like this:
// Assuming that firstDate and secondDate are defined
// ...
let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
// Replace the hour (time) of both dates with 00:00
let date1 = calendar.startOfDayForDate(firstDate)
let date2 = calendar.startOfDayForDate(secondDate)
let flags = NSCalendarUnit.Day
let components = calendar.components(flags, fromDate: date1, toDate: date2, options: [])
components.day // This will return the number of day(s) between dates
Swift 3 and Swift 4 Version
let calendar = Calendar.current
// Replace the hour (time) of both dates with 00:00
let date1 = calendar.startOfDay(for: firstDate)
let date2 = calendar.startOfDay(for: secondDate)
let components = calendar.dateComponents([.day], from: date1, to: date2)
Here is my answer for Swift 2:
func daysBetweenDates(startDate: NSDate, endDate: NSDate) -> Int
{
let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
let components = calendar.components([.Day], fromDate: startDate, toDate: endDate, options: [])
return components.day
}
I see a couple Swift3 answers so I'll add my own:
public static func daysBetween(start: Date, end: Date) -> Int {
Calendar.current.dateComponents([.day], from: start, to: end).day!
}
The naming feels more Swifty, it's one line, and using the latest dateComponents() method.
Here is very nice, Date extension to get difference between dates in years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds
extension Date {
func years(sinceDate: Date) -> Int? {
return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.year], from: sinceDate, to: self).year
}
func months(sinceDate: Date) -> Int? {
return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.month], from: sinceDate, to: self).month
}
func days(sinceDate: Date) -> Int? {
return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.day], from: sinceDate, to: self).day
}
func hours(sinceDate: Date) -> Int? {
return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.hour], from: sinceDate, to: self).hour
}
func minutes(sinceDate: Date) -> Int? {
return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.minute], from: sinceDate, to: self).minute
}
func seconds(sinceDate: Date) -> Int? {
return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.second], from: sinceDate, to: self).second
}
}
I translated my Objective-C answer
let start = "2010-09-01"
let end = "2010-09-05"
let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
let startDate:NSDate = dateFormatter.dateFromString(start)
let endDate:NSDate = dateFormatter.dateFromString(end)
let cal = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
let unit:NSCalendarUnit = .Day
let components = cal.components(unit, fromDate: startDate, toDate: endDate, options: nil)
println(components)
result
<NSDateComponents: 0x10280a8a0>
Day: 4
The hardest part was that the autocompletion insists fromDate and toDate would be NSDate?, but indeed they must be NSDate! as shown in the reference.
I don't see how a good solution with an operator would look like, as you want to specify the unit differently in each case. You could return the time interval, but than won't you gain much.
Update for Swift 3 iOS 10 Beta 4
func daysBetweenDates(startDate: Date, endDate: Date) -> Int {
let calendar = Calendar.current
let components = calendar.dateComponents([Calendar.Component.day], from: startDate, to: endDate)
return components.day!
}
Swift 5. Thanks to Emin Buğra Saral above for the startOfDay suggestion.
extension Date {
func daysBetween(date: Date) -> Int {
return Date.daysBetween(start: self, end: date)
}
static func daysBetween(start: Date, end: Date) -> Int {
let calendar = Calendar.current
// Replace the hour (time) of both dates with 00:00
let date1 = calendar.startOfDay(for: start)
let date2 = calendar.startOfDay(for: end)
let a = calendar.dateComponents([.day], from: date1, to: date2)
return a.value(for: .day)!
}
}
Usage:
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
let start = dateFormatter.date(from: "2017-01-01")!
let end = dateFormatter.date(from: "2018-01-01")!
let diff = Date.daysBetween(start: start, end: end) // 365
// or
let diff = start.daysBetween(date: end) // 365
Here is the answer for Swift 3 (tested for IOS 10 Beta)
func daysBetweenDates(startDate: Date, endDate: Date) -> Int
{
let calendar = Calendar.current
let components = calendar.components([.day], from: startDate, to: endDate, options: [])
return components.day!
}
Then you can call it like this
let pickedDate: Date = sender.date
let NumOfDays: Int = daysBetweenDates(startDate: pickedDate, endDate: Date())
print("Num of Days: \(NumOfDays)")
Swift 5
Working, you need to set the time to be the same for both days, if you are off by seconds it will be wrong
func daysBetween(start: Date, end: Date) -> Int {
let start = Calendar.current.date(bySettingHour: 0, minute: 0, second: 0, of: start)!
let end = Calendar.current.date(bySettingHour: 0, minute: 0, second: 0, of: end)!
return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.day], from: start, to: end).day ?? 0
}
The things built into swift are still very basic. As they should be at this early stage. But you can add your own stuff with the risk that comes with overloading operators and global domain functions. They will be local to your module though.
let now = NSDate()
let seventies = NSDate(timeIntervalSince1970: 0)
// Standard solution still works
let days = NSCalendar.currentCalendar().components(.CalendarUnitDay,
fromDate: seventies, toDate: now, options: nil).day
// Flashy swift... maybe...
func -(lhs:NSDate, rhs:NSDate) -> DateRange {
return DateRange(startDate: rhs, endDate: lhs)
}
class DateRange {
let startDate:NSDate
let endDate:NSDate
var calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
var days: Int {
return calendar.components(.CalendarUnitDay,
fromDate: startDate, toDate: endDate, options: nil).day
}
var months: Int {
return calendar.components(.CalendarUnitMonth,
fromDate: startDate, toDate: endDate, options: nil).month
}
init(startDate:NSDate, endDate:NSDate) {
self.startDate = startDate
self.endDate = endDate
}
}
// Now you can do this...
(now - seventies).months
(now - seventies).days
This is an updated version of Emin's answer for Swift 5 that incorporates the suggestion to use noon instead of midnight as the definitive time for comparing days. It also handles the potential failure of various date functions by returning an optional.
///
/// This is an approximation; it does not account for time differences. It will set the time to 1200 (noon) and provide the absolute number
/// of days between now and the given date. If the result is negative, it should be read as "days ago" instead of "days from today."
/// Returns nil if something goes wrong initializing or adjusting dates.
///
func daysFromToday() -> Int?
{
let calendar = NSCalendar.current
// Replace the hour (time) of both dates with noon. (Noon is less likely to be affected by DST changes, timezones, etc. than midnight.)
guard let date1 = calendar.date(bySettingHour: 12, minute: 00, second: 00, of: calendar.startOfDay(for: Date())),
let date2 = calendar.date(bySettingHour: 12, minute: 00, second: 00, of: calendar.startOfDay(for: self)) else
{
return nil
}
return calendar.dateComponents([.day], from: date1, to: date2).day
}
Here is my answer for Swift 3:
func daysBetweenDates(startDate: NSDate, endDate: NSDate, inTimeZone timeZone: TimeZone? = nil) -> Int {
var calendar = Calendar.current
if let timeZone = timeZone {
calendar.timeZone = timeZone
}
let dateComponents = calendar.dateComponents([.day], from: startDate.startOfDay, to: endDate.startOfDay)
return dateComponents.day!
}
You could use the following extension:
public extension Date {
func daysTo(_ date: Date) -> Int? {
let calendar = Calendar.current
// Replace the hour (time) of both dates with 00:00
let date1 = calendar.startOfDay(for: self)
let date2 = calendar.startOfDay(for: date)
let components = calendar.dateComponents([.day], from: date1, to: date2)
return components.day // This will return the number of day(s) between dates
}
}
Then, you can call it like this:
startDate.daysTo(endDate)
There's hardly any Swift-specific standard library yet; just the lean basic numeric, string, and collection types.
It's perfectly possible to define such shorthands using extensions, but as far as the actual out-of-the-box APIs goes, there is no "new" Cocoa; Swift just maps directly to the same old verbose Cocoa APIs as they already exist.
I'm going to add my version even though this thread is a year old. My code looks like this:
var name = txtName.stringValue // Get the users name
// Get the date components from the window controls
var dateComponents = NSDateComponents()
dateComponents.day = txtDOBDay.integerValue
dateComponents.month = txtDOBMonth.integerValue
dateComponents.year = txtDOBYear.integerValue
// Make a Gregorian calendar
let calendar = NSCalendar(identifier: NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian)
// Get the two dates we need
var birthdate = calendar?.dateFromComponents(dateComponents)
let currentDate = NSDate()
var durationDateComponents = calendar?.components(NSCalendarUnit.CalendarUnitDay, fromDate: birthdate!, toDate: currentDate, options: nil)
let numberOfDaysAlive = durationDateComponents?.day
println("\(numberOfDaysAlive!)")
txtGreeting.stringValue = "Hello \(name), You have been alive for \(numberOfDaysAlive!) days."
I hope it helps someone.
Cheers,
Erin's method updated to Swift 3, This shows days from today (disregarding time of day)
func daysBetweenDates( endDate: Date) -> Int
let calendar: Calendar = Calendar.current
let date1 = calendar.startOfDay(for: Date())
let date2 = calendar.startOfDay(for: secondDate)
return calendar.dateComponents([.day], from: date1, to: date2).day!
}
This returns an absolute difference in days between some Date and today:
extension Date {
func daysFromToday() -> Int {
return abs(Calendar.current.dateComponents([.day], from: self, to: Date()).day!)
}
}
and then use it:
if someDate.daysFromToday() >= 7 {
// at least a week from today
}
easier option would be to create a extension on Date
public extension Date {
public var currentCalendar: Calendar {
return Calendar.autoupdatingCurrent
}
public func daysBetween(_ date: Date) -> Int {
let components = currentCalendar.dateComponents([.day], from: self, to: date)
return components.day!
}
}
Swift 3.2
extension DateComponentsFormatter {
func difference(from fromDate: Date, to toDate: Date) -> String? {
self.allowedUnits = [.year,.month,.weekOfMonth,.day]
self.maximumUnitCount = 1
self.unitsStyle = .full
return self.string(from: fromDate, to: toDate)
}
}
All answer is good. But for Localizations we need calculates a number of decimal days in between two dates. so we can provide the sustainable decimal format.
// This method returns the fractional number of days between to dates
func getFractionalDaysBetweenDates(date1: Date, date2: Date) -> Double {
let components = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.day, .hour], from: date1, to: date2)
var decimalDays = Double(components.day!)
decimalDays += Double(components.hour!) / 24.0
return decimalDays
}
Nice handy one liner :
extension Date {
var daysFromNow: Int {
return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.day], from: Date(), to: self).day!
}
}
Swift 3 - Days from today until date
func daysUntilDate(endDateComponents: DateComponents) -> Int
{
let cal = Calendar.current
var components = cal.dateComponents([.era, .year, .month, .day], from: NSDate() as Date)
let today = cal.date(from: components)
let otherDate = cal.date(from: endDateComponents)
components = cal.dateComponents([Calendar.Component.day], from: (today! as Date), to: otherDate!)
return components.day!
}
Call function like this
// Days from today until date
var examnDate = DateComponents()
examnDate.year = 2016
examnDate.month = 12
examnDate.day = 15
let daysCount = daysUntilDate(endDateComponents: examnDate)
extension Date {
func daysFromToday() -> Int {
return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.day], from: self, to: Date()).day!
}
}
Then use it like
func dayCount(dateString: String) -> String{
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MMM dd,yyyy hh:mm a"
let fetchedDate = dateFormatter.date(from: dateString)
let day = fetchedDate?.daysFromToday()
if day! > -1{
return "\(day!) days passed."
}else{
return "\(day! * -1) days left."
}
}
extension Date {

if you need year month days and hours as string use this
var tomorrow = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: 1, to: Date())!
let dc = tomorrow.completeOffset(from: Date())

Swift 5.2.4 solution:
import UIKit
let calendar = Calendar.current
let start = "2010-09-01"
let end = "2010-09-05"
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
let firstDate = dateFormatter.date(from: start)!
let secondDate = dateFormatter.date(from: end)!
// Replace the hour (time) of both dates with 00:00
let date1 = calendar.startOfDay(for: firstDate)
let date2 = calendar.startOfDay(for: secondDate)
let components = calendar.dateComponents([Calendar.Component.day], from: date1, to: date2)
components.day // This will return the number of day(s) between dates
I'm using swift in my project and I want to show specific date like this: 5 days ago or 5 month ago or ...
I am using DateComponentsFormatter and it's doing well, but the problem is I want to show 1 day ago like "Yesterday" or showing 3 second ago like "Today". how can I do this? can I use DateComponentsFormatter for this problem? this is my codes:
func shortDate(_ local: LocaleIdentifier = .fa) -> String {
let now = Date()
let date = self
let formatter = DateComponentsFormatter()
formatter.calendar?.locale = Locale(identifier: local.rawValue)
formatter.unitsStyle = .full
formatter.maximumUnitCount = 1
formatter.allowedUnits = [.year, .month, .day, .hour, .minute, .second]
guard let timeString = formatter.string(from: date, to: now) else {
return ""
}
return String(format: "Ago".localized, timeString)
}
For iOS 13 or later you can use RelativeDateTimeFormatter
let relativeDateTimeFormatter = RelativeDateTimeFormatter()
relativeDateTimeFormatter.dateTimeStyle = .named
relativeDateTimeFormatter.unitsStyle = .full
let date = Date.init(timeIntervalSinceNow: -60*60*24)
relativeDateTimeFormatter.string(for: date) // "yesterday"
edit/update:
If you would like to support iOS 11 you would need to implement your own relative date formatter. You can use Calendar method isDateInToday and isDateInYesterday to combine a relative date formatter with date components formatter. Note that there is no need to check the time interval for setting a single unit in your date components formatter you can set the allowed units of your date components formatter, just make sure you set them respecting the desired priority to be displayed:
// This will avoid creating a formatter every time you call relativeDateFormatted property
extension Formatter {
static let dateComponents: DateComponentsFormatter = {
let dateComponentsFormatter = DateComponentsFormatter()
dateComponentsFormatter.allowedUnits = [.day, .month, .year] // check the order of the units it does matter when allowing only 1 unit to be displayed
dateComponentsFormatter.maximumUnitCount = 1
dateComponentsFormatter.unitsStyle = .full
return dateComponentsFormatter
}()
static let relativeDate: DateFormatter = {
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.doesRelativeDateFormatting = true
dateFormatter.timeStyle = .none
dateFormatter.dateStyle = .medium
return dateFormatter
}()
}
extension Date {
var relativeDateFormatted: String {
Calendar.current.isDateInToday(self) || Calendar.current.isDateInYesterday(self) ?
Formatter.relativeDate.string(from: self) :
Formatter.dateComponents.string(from: self, to: Date()) ?? ""
}
}
Playground testing:
let date1 = DateComponents(calendar: .current, year: 2020, month: 9, day: 4, hour: 5).date!
let date2 = DateComponents(calendar: .current, year: 2020, month: 9, day: 3, hour: 23, minute: 50).date!
let date3 = DateComponents(calendar: .current, year: 2020, month: 8, day: 25, hour: 10).date!
let date4 = DateComponents(calendar: .current, year: 2020, month: 8, day: 3).date!
let date5 = DateComponents(calendar: .current, year: 2019, month: 8, day: 27).date!
date1.relativeDateFormatted // "Today"
date2.relativeDateFormatted // "Yesterday"
date3.relativeDateFormatted // "10 days"
date4.relativeDateFormatted // "1 month"
date5.relativeDateFormatted // "1 year"
You are looking for the doesRelativeDateFormatting property of a DateFormatter.
I think, I must use both DateComponentsFormatter for more than 1 day and DateFormatter for showing Today(day=0) and Yesterday(day=1) for my problem.
I found my answer here.
but I make codes a little better, this is my codes:
var calendar = Calendar.current
calendar.locale = Locale(identifier: local.rawValue)
let componentFormatter = DateComponentsFormatter()
componentFormatter.calendar = calendar
componentFormatter.unitsStyle = .full
componentFormatter.maximumUnitCount = 1
let interval = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.year, .month, .day], from: self, to: Date())
if let year = interval.year, year > 0 {
componentFormatter.allowedUnits = .year
} else if let month = interval.month, month > 0 {
componentFormatter.allowedUnits = .month
} else if let day = interval.day, day > 1 {
componentFormatter.allowedUnits = .day
} else { // if let day = interval.day, day == 0 || day == 1 for Today or Yesterday
let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.doesRelativeDateFormatting = true
formatter.calendar.locale = Locale(identifier: local.rawValue)
formatter.timeStyle = .none
formatter.dateStyle = .medium
return formatter.string(from: self)
}
guard let timeString = componentFormatter.string(from: self, to: Date()) else {
return ""
}
return String(format: "Ago".localized, timeString)
I want to find the total number days on given month and year.
Example: I want to find total number of days on year = 2015, month = 7
First create an NSDate for the given year and month:
let dateComponents = NSDateComponents()
dateComponents.year = 2015
dateComponents.month = 7
let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
let date = calendar.dateFromComponents(dateComponents)!
Then use the rangeOfUnit() method, as described in
Number of days in the current month using iPhone SDK?:
// Swift 2:
let range = calendar.rangeOfUnit(.Day, inUnit: .Month, forDate: date)
// Swift 1.2:
let range = calendar.rangeOfUnit(.CalendarUnitDay, inUnit: .CalendarUnitMonth, forDate: date)
let numDays = range.length
print(numDays) // 31
Update for Swift 3 (Xcode 8):
let dateComponents = DateComponents(year: 2015, month: 7)
let calendar = Calendar.current
let date = calendar.date(from: dateComponents)!
let range = calendar.range(of: .day, in: .month, for: date)!
let numDays = range.count
print(numDays) // 31
Updated for Swift 3.1, Xcode 8+, iOS 10+
let calendar = Calendar.current
let date = Date()
// Calculate start and end of the current year (or month with `.month`):
let interval = calendar.dateInterval(of: .year, for: date)! //change year it will no of days in a year , change it to month it will give no of days in a current month
// Compute difference in days:
let days = calendar.dateComponents([.day], from: interval.start, to: interval.end).day!
print(days)
In extension format, using self to be able to return the number of days more dynamically (Swift 3).
extension Date {
func getDaysInMonth() -> Int{
let calendar = Calendar.current
let dateComponents = DateComponents(year: calendar.component(.year, from: self), month: calendar.component(.month, from: self))
let date = calendar.date(from: dateComponents)!
let range = calendar.range(of: .day, in: .month, for: date)!
let numDays = range.count
return numDays
}
}
Swift 5.0
func getDaysInMonth(month: Int, year: Int) -> Int? {
let calendar = Calendar.current
var startComps = DateComponents()
startComps.day = 1
startComps.month = month
startComps.year = year
var endComps = DateComponents()
endComps.day = 1
endComps.month = month == 12 ? 1 : month + 1
endComps.year = month == 12 ? year + 1 : year
let startDate = calendar.date(from: startComps)!
let endDate = calendar.date(from:endComps)!
let diff = calendar.dateComponents([Calendar.Component.day], from: startDate, to: endDate)
return diff.day
}
if let numberOfDays = getDaysInMonth(month: 1, year: 2015) {
print(numberOfDays)
}
Swift 2.0
func getDaysInMonth(month: Int, year: Int) -> Int
{
let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
let startComps = NSDateComponents()
startComps.day = 1
startComps.month = month
startComps.year = year
let endComps = NSDateComponents()
endComps.day = 1
endComps.month = month == 12 ? 1 : month + 1
endComps.year = month == 12 ? year + 1 : year
let startDate = calendar.dateFromComponents(startComps)!
let endDate = calendar.dateFromComponents(endComps)!
let diff = calendar.components(NSCalendarUnit.Day, fromDate: startDate, toDate: endDate, options: NSCalendarOptions.MatchFirst)
return diff.day
}
let days = getDaysInMonth(4, year: 2015) // April 2015 has 30 days
print(days) // Prints 30
Swift 1.2
func getDaysInMonth(month: Int, year: Int) -> Int
{
let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
let startComps = NSDateComponents()
startComps.day = 1
startComps.month = month
startComps.year = year
let endComps = NSDateComponents()
endComps.day = 1
endComps.month = month == 12 ? 1 : month + 1
endComps.year = month == 12 ? year + 1 : year
let startDate = calendar.dateFromComponents(startComps)!
let endDate = calendar.dateFromComponents(endComps)!
let diff = calendar.components(NSCalendarUnit.CalendarUnitDay, fromDate: startDate, toDate: endDate, options: NSCalendarOptions.allZeros)
return diff.day
}
let days = getDaysInMonth(4, 2015) // There were 30 days in April 2015
println(days) // Prints 30
In order to get number of days and all the dates on given month and year, try this.
func getAllDates(month: Int, year: Int) -> [Date] {
let dateComponents = DateComponents(year: year, month: month)
let calendar = Calendar.current
let date = calendar.date(from: dateComponents)!
let range = calendar.range(of: .day, in: .month, for: date)!
let numDays = range.count
let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy MM dd"
formatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "GMT+0:00")
var arrDates = [Date]()
for day in 1...numDays {
let dateString = "\(year) \(month) \(day)"
if let date = formatter.date(from: dateString) {
arrDates.append(date)
}
}
return arrDates
}
Usage:
let arrDatesInGivenMonthYear = getAllDates(month: 1, year: 2018)
debugPrint(arrDatesInGivenMonthYear)
//Output: [2018-01-01 00:00:00 +0000, 2018-01-02 00:00:00 +0000, ... , 2018-01-31 00:00:00 +0000]
let numberOfDays = arrDatesInGivenMonthYear.count
debugPrint(numberOfDays)
//Output: 31
Swift 5
Another way to approach this:
extension Date {
func daysInMonth(_ monthNumber: Int? = nil, _ year: Int? = nil) -> Int {
var dateComponents = DateComponents()
dateComponents.year = year ?? Calendar.current.component(.year, from: self)
dateComponents.month = monthNumber ?? Calendar.current.component(.month, from: self)
if
let d = Calendar.current.date(from: dateComponents),
let interval = Calendar.current.dateInterval(of: .month, for: d),
let days = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.day], from: interval.start, to: interval.end).day
{ return days } else { return -1 }
}
}
here is the swift 4.0 version
func getTotalDate(){
// choose the month and year you want to look
var dateComponents = DateComponents()
dateComponents.year = 2018
dateComponents.month = 10
let calendar = Calendar.current
let datez = calendar.date(from: dateComponents)
// change .month into .year to see the days available in the year
let interval = calendar.dateInterval(of: .month, for: datez!)!
let days = calendar.dateComponents([.day], from: interval.start, to: interval.end).day!
print(days)
}
What about for a given year?
The following is printing the number of days in the date's month:
let range = userCalendar.range(of: .day, in: .year, for: Date())!
print("Days In Year: \(range.count)") // prints 31
... and not the number of days in the date's year as expected :/
