Question

Hi I am trying to check if the current time is within a time range, say 8:00 - 16:30. My code below shows that I can obtain the current time as a string, but I am unsure how

Answer 1

The Following soltion get current time from the system and then check it exist that range or not . In my case time range is 8:00 am to 5:00 pm The Solution Valid for Swift 4.2

 func CheckTime()->Bool{
    var timeExist:Bool
    let calendar = Calendar.current
    let startTimeComponent = DateComponents(calendar: calendar, hour:8)
    let endTimeComponent   = DateComponents(calendar: calendar, hour: 17, minute: 00)

    let now = Date()
    let startOfToday = calendar.startOfDay(for: now)
    let startTime    = calendar.date(byAdding: startTimeComponent, to: startOfToday)!
    let endTime      = calendar.date(byAdding: endTimeComponent, to: startOfToday)!

    if startTime <= now && now <= endTime {
        print("between 8 AM and 5:30 PM")
        timeExist = true
    } else {
        print("not between 8 AM and 5:30 PM")
        timeExist = false
    }
    return timeExist
}
