Cocoa-Touch: How do I see if two NSDates are in the same day?

Question

I need to know if two NSDate instances are both from the same day.

Is there an easier/better way to do it than getting the NSDateComponents and comparing day/month/y

Answer 1

in Swift 3.0, iOS8+

if NSCalendar.current.isDate(Date(), equalTo: date, toGranularity: .day) {

}

or

if NSCalendar.current.isDateInToday(date) {

}
