Swift - Get local date and time

Question

How can I get local date and time in Swift?

let last_login = String(NSDate.date())

Answer 1

In case you want to get a Date object and not a string representation you can use the following snippet:

extension Date {
    func localDate() -> Date {
        let nowUTC = Date()
        let timeZoneOffset = Double(TimeZone.current.secondsFromGMT(for: nowUTC))
        guard let localDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .second, value: Int(timeZoneOffset), to: nowUTC) else {return Date()}

        return localDate
    }
}

Use it like this:

let now = Date().localDate()
