NSDateComponents of an NSDate

Question

How do I get the NSDateComponents of a single NSDate? I don\'t want the components of the difference between 2 dates, just the seconds, minutes, hours, day, month and year o

Answer 1

using NSCalendar's method:

- (NSDateComponents *)components:(NSUInteger)unitFlags fromDate:(NSDate *)date

like:

unsigned unitFlags = NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit |  NSDayCalendarUnit;
NSDate *date = [NSDate date];


NSCalendar * cal = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDateComponents *comps = [cal components:unitFlags fromDate:date];
