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

extension Date {
    func daysFromToday() -> Int {
        return Calendar.current.dateComponents([.day], from: self, to: Date()).day!
    }
}

Then use it like

    func dayCount(dateString: String) -> String{
        let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
        dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MMM dd,yyyy hh:mm a"
        let fetchedDate = dateFormatter.date(from: dateString)


        let day = fetchedDate?.daysFromToday()
        if day! > -1{
            return "\(day!) days passed."
        }else{
        return "\(day! * -1) days left."
        }
    }
