Get month and date separately from date string - ios

Question

I have got a date in this format..
2019-12-16 18:30:00 +0000
This is the code I have for that..
var utcTime = "\(dic["dueDate"]!)"
self.dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"
self.dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US")
let date = self.dateFormatter.date(from:utcTime)!
print(date)
I wanted to extract month and date from this string. i.e. from the above date string, I want 'December' & '16' separately.

Answer 1

There are several ways to get the expected result, as an option you can use this code with Calendar:
let utcTime = "2020-01-17T22:01:00"
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US")
if let date = dateFormatter.date(from:utcTime) {
let monthInt = Calendar.current.component(.month, from: date)
let dayInt = Calendar.current.component(.day, from: date)
let monthStr = Calendar.current.monthSymbols[monthInt-1]
print(monthStr, dayInt)
}

Welcome to stack overflow.
You can try this :
let calendar = Calendar.current
calendar.component(.year, from: date)
calendar.component(.month, from: date)
calendar.component(.day, from: date)
Hope it helps...

Welcome to stack overflow. Please try this.
func getMonthAndDate(dateString: String) ->(month:String , day:String) {
guard let date = Date.getMonthAndDate(from: dateString, with: "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss") else {
return ("","")
}
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MMMM"
let month = dateFormatter.string(from: date)
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd"
let day = dateFormatter.string(from: date)
return (month,day)
}
extension Date {
static func getMonthAndDate(from str: String, with formatter: String) -> Date? {
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone.current//(abbreviation: "GMT") //Set timezone that you want
dateFormatter.locale = NSLocale.current
dateFormatter.dateFormat = formatter //Specify your format that you want
return dateFormatter.date(from: str)
}
}

Swift 5
Here is the extension you need It returns tuple having Month and date as you wanted to have
extension Date {
func getMonthAndDate() ->(month:String , day:String) {
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MMMM"
let month = dateFormatter.string(from: self)
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd"
let day = dateFormatter.string(from: self)
return (month,day)
}
}

I give you example of month u can get date and month value separately ,
visit link for your format http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/datetime
extension Date {
var month: String {
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MMMM"
return dateFormatter.string(from: self)
}
}
you can use it in this way:
let date = Date()
let monthString = date.month
try same thing for date, I hope it will work for you... :)

Answer 6

this is an example from your code. I have stored month and day in separate string to show you. You can change according to your requirements.
var utcTime = "2019-12-16 18:30:00 +0000"
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z"
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US")
let date = dateFormatter.date(from:utcTime)!
print(date) //2019-12-16 18:30:00 +0000
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MMMM"
let strMonth = dateFormatter.string(from: date)
print(strMonth) //December
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd"
let strDay = dateFormatter.string(from: date)
print(strDay) //16
Also you can use Calendar object to get date, month (gives you in digit) and year.
var utcTime = "2019-12-16 18:30:00 +0000"
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z"
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US")
let date = dateFormatter.date(from:utcTime)!
let calendarDate = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.day, .year, .month], from: date)
let day = calendarDate.day
print(day) //16
let month = calendarDate.month
print(month) //12
let year = calendarDate.year
print(year) //2019

Answer 7

You can get the day, month and year as follows
let yourDate = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.day, .year, .month], from: Date())
if let day = yourDate.day, let month = yourDate.month, let year = yourDate.year {
let monthName = Calendar.current.monthSymbols[month - 1]
// your code here
}

Answer 8

extension String {
func getMonthDay() -> (Int,Int) {
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssZ"
let date = dateFormatter.date(from: self) ?? Date()
let calendar = Calendar.current
let month = calendar.component(.month, from: date)
let day = calendar.component(.day, from: date)
return (month, day)
}
}
