How to remove the time from Date Picker? - swift

Question

What I want to achieve here is to remove the "TIME" from the UITextfield once I have selected a date. For example "D/M/Y" I want this only to display and not the time "00:00:00" or "+0000".
This piece of code does not require the element of "UIDate Picker" to be selected as I already know how to disable the time this way through the attributes inspector but not this way.
I think it needs to be done programmatically.
Code in the separate class:
import Foundation
import UIKit
import QuartzCore
class DatePickerDialog: UIView {
typealias DatePickerCallback = (date: NSDate) -> Void
/* Consts */
private let kDatePickerDialogDefaultButtonHeight: CGFloat = 50
private let kDatePickerDialogDefaultButtonSpacerHeight: CGFloat = 1
private let kDatePickerDialogCornerRadius: CGFloat = 7
private let kDatePickerDialogDoneButtonTag: Int = 1

Code here defined in Viewcontroller.swift:
#IBAction func datePickerTapped(sender: AnyObject) {
DatePickerDialog().show("Select Date of Incident", doneButtonTitle: "Done", cancelButtonTitle: "Cancel", datePickerMode: .Date) {
(date) -> Void in
self.textField3.text = "\(date)"
}
}

Answer 1

Its simple
change this line to
self.textField3.text = "\(date)"
to
var dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd" //format style. you can change according to yours
var dateString = dateFormatter.stringFromDate(date)
self.textField3.text = dateString
