Comparing NSDates without time component

Question

In a swift playground, I have been using

NSDate.date() 

But, this always appears with the time element appended. For my app I need to ignor

Answer 1

I wrote a Swift 4 extension for comparing two dates:

import Foundation

extension Date {      
  func isSameDate(_ comparisonDate: Date) -> Bool {
    let order = Calendar.current.compare(self, to: comparisonDate, toGranularity: .day)
    return order == .orderedSame
  }

  func isBeforeDate(_ comparisonDate: Date) -> Bool {
    let order = Calendar.current.compare(self, to: comparisonDate, toGranularity: .day)
    return order == .orderedAscending
  }

  func isAfterDate(_ comparisonDate: Date) -> Bool {
    let order = Calendar.current.compare(self, to: comparisonDate, toGranularity: .day)
    return order == .orderedDescending
  }
}

Usage:

startDate.isSameDateAs(endDate) // returns a true or false
