Swift days between two NSDates

Question

I\'m wondering if there is some new and awesome possibility to get the amount of days between two NSDates in Swift / the \"new\" Cocoa?

E.g. like in Ruby I would do:

Answer 1

Swift 3 - Days from today until date

func daysUntilDate(endDateComponents: DateComponents) -> Int
    {
        let cal = Calendar.current
        var components = cal.dateComponents([.era, .year, .month, .day], from: NSDate() as Date)
        let today = cal.date(from: components)
        let otherDate = cal.date(from: endDateComponents)

        components = cal.dateComponents([Calendar.Component.day], from: (today! as Date), to: otherDate!)
        return components.day!
    }

Call function like this

// Days from today until date
   var examnDate = DateComponents()
   examnDate.year = 2016
   examnDate.month = 12
   examnDate.day = 15
   let daysCount = daysUntilDate(endDateComponents: examnDate)
