To get current date and time

let currentDate = Date()
print(currentDate) //this will return current date and time 

but that will be in date type to convert date into string

let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm" //give the formate according to your need
let dateStr =  dateFormatter.string(from: currentDate) //which will give the string of current date and time in required dateformate
