Number of days between two NSDate objects

Question

I\'m trying to compare two days of NSDate objects, I used at the first time NSDateComponents to calculate difference between my two dates Objects, but it is working correct

Answer 1

I think you are looking for this (from the Date and Time Programming Guide):

Listing 13 Days between two dates, as the number of midnights between

@implementation NSCalendar (MySpecialCalculations)

-(NSInteger)daysWithinEraFromDate:(NSDate *) startDate toDate:(NSDate *) endDate
{
     NSInteger startDay=[self ordinalityOfUnit:NSDayCalendarUnit
          inUnit: NSEraCalendarUnit forDate:startDate];
     NSInteger endDay=[self ordinalityOfUnit:NSDayCalendarUnit
          inUnit: NSEraCalendarUnit forDate:endDate];
     return endDay-startDay;
}
@end

EDIT: Swift version:

extension NSCalendar {
    func daysWithinEraFromDate(startDate: NSDate, endDate: NSDate) -> Int {
        let startDay = self.ordinalityOfUnit(.Day, inUnit: NSCalendarUnit.Era, forDate: startDate)
        let endDay = self.ordinalityOfUnit(.Day, inUnit: NSCalendarUnit.Era, forDate: endDate)
        return endDay - startDay
    }
}
