How to add minutes to current time in swift

Question

I am new to Swift and am trying a scheduler. I have the start time selected and I need to add 5 minutes (or multiples of it) to the start time and display it in an UILabel?<

Answer 1

You can use in swift 4 or 5

    let date = Date()
    let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd H:mm:ss"
    let current_date_time = dateFormatter.string(from: date)
    print("before add time-->",current_date_time)

    //adding 5 miniuts
    let addminutes = date.addingTimeInterval(5*60)
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd H:mm:ss"
    let after_add_time = dateFormatter.string(from: addminutes)
    print("after add time-->",after_add_time)

output:

before add time--> 2020-02-18 10:38:15
after add time--> 2020-02-18 10:43:15
