Set current time to yyyy-MM-dd 00:00:00 using Swift

Question

I want to ask about NSDate, how to set/format current time like \"2015-08-12 09:30:41 +0000\" to \"2015-08-12 00:00:00 +0000

I\'m already using :

Answer 1

The easiest way to remove the time portion from an NSDate instance is

let startOfDate = NSCalendar.currentCalendar().startOfDayForDate(NSDate())

To get the date depending on the current time zone use

let calendar = NSCalendar(identifier: NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian)!
calendar.timeZone = NSTimeZone(forSecondsFromGMT: 0)
let startOfDate = calendar.startOfDayForDate(NSDate())
println(startOfDate)

Swift 4

var calendar = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian)
calendar.timeZone = TimeZone(secondsFromGMT: 0)!
let startOfDate = calendar.startOfDay(for: Date())
print(startOfDate)
