How to determine if an NSDate is today?

Question

How to check if an NSDate belongs to today?

I used to check it using first 10 characters from [aDate description]. [[aDate descriptio

Answer 1

extension NSDate {
  func isToday() -> Bool {
    let cal = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
    var components = cal.components([.Era, .Year, .Month, .Day], fromDate:NSDate())
    let today = cal.dateFromComponents(components)!

    components = cal.components([.Era, .Year, .Month, .Day], fromDate:self)
    let otherDate = cal.dateFromComponents(components)!

    return today.isEqualToDate(otherDate)
}

Worked for me on Swift 2.0
