Get current date in Swift 3?

How can I set label.text current date in Swift 3?

I want to print just today to the screen. I did not find how to do that.

In c# is very simple: 

var date = DateTime.Now

I need to write 15.09.2016 in swift 3. thanks

Solution

  • You say in a comment you want to get "15.09.2016".

    For this, use Date and DateFormatter:

    let date = Date()
let formatter = DateFormatter()

    Give the format you want to the formatter:

    formatter.dateFormat = "dd.MM.yyyy"

    Get the result string:

    let result = formatter.string(from: date)

    Set your label:

    label.text = result

    Result:

    15.09.2016
