Compare two date - Swift

How can I convert string like (2019-11-02) without time to date format and get current Date device without time then compare with together?

Solution

  • You can convert the string to date using a dateFormatter then compare with the current date using an if statement 

    import Foundation

//convert string to date

let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
let myDate = dateFormatter.date(from: "2019-11-02")


//convert today's date in the same formate

let currentFormatter = DateFormatter()
currentFormatter.dateStyle = .short
currentFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
let today = currentFormatter.string(from: Date())
let todayDate = dateFormatter.date(from: today)

//Compare the two date's

if myDate == todayDate {
    print("ok")
}
