NSDate beginning of day and end of day

Question

    -(NSDate *)beginningOfDay:(NSDate *)date
{
    NSCalendar *cal = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
    NSDateComponents *components = [cal components:( NSMonthCalend         


        

Answer 1

This is what I use for Swift 4.2:

    let calendar = Calendar.current
    let fromDate = calendar.startOfDay(for: Date())
    let endDate = calendar.date(bySettingHour: 23, minute: 59, second: 59, of: Date())

Works like a charm for me. You could add this to an extension for start and end dates on Date, however keep in mind that adding an extension increases compile time (unless in the same file as the class), so if you only need it at one place or in one class... don't use an extension.
