Get Weekday from Date - Swift 3

Question

I have looked around a bit, but didnt find a quick answer for this in swift 3. I get todays weekday like this:

let weekday = Calendar.current.component(.week         


        

Answer 1

let date = Date()
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy"
//OR dateFormatter.dateFormat = "EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy"
let currentDateString: String = dateFormatter.string(from: date)
print("Current date is \(currentDateString)")

Current date is Monday, June 29, 2017
