Value of type '(UIDatePicker) -> ()' has no member 'date' In swift 5

Question

Im trying to capture date to a variablew outside of funciton but I keep getting this message :

Value of type '(UIDatePicker) -> ()' has no member 'date'

This is the code

var selectedDate: String?

@IBAction func datePicker(_ sender: UIDatePicker) {
    selectedDate = self.datePicker.date
}

Answer 1

You are calling the function itself which makes no sense unless there is also an outlet datePicker.

Use the sender parameter

@IBAction func datePicker(_ sender: UIDatePicker) {
    selectedDate = sender.date
}

and declare selectedDate as Date

var selectedDate: Date?
