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

Weekday by default consider first weekday as Sunday, if you wanna support generic context use this extension.

extension Date {

    var calendar: Calendar { Calendar.current }

    var weekday: Int {
        (calendar.component(.weekday, from: self) - calendar.firstWeekday + 7) % 7 + 1
    }
}
