Here's a simplified version of Sandeep's answer.

Usage:

Date().next(.monday)
Date().next(.monday, considerToday: true)
Date().next(.monday, direction: .backward)

Extension:

public func next(_ weekday: Weekday,
                 direction: Calendar.SearchDirection = .forward,
                 considerToday: Bool = false) -> Date
{
    let calendar = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian)
    let components = DateComponents(weekday: weekday.rawValue)

    if considerToday &&
        calendar.component(.weekday, from: self) == weekday.rawValue
    {
        return self
    }

    return calendar.nextDate(after: self,
                             matching: components,
                             matchingPolicy: .nextTime,
                             direction: direction)!
}

public enum Weekday: Int {
    case sunday = 1, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday
}
