How can I get the current month as String? [duplicate]
let now = Date()let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()dateFormatter.dateFormat = "LLLL"let nameOfMonth = dateFormatter.string(from: now)
If you are using Swift 3.0 then extensions and Date class are great way to go.
try below code
extension Date { var month: String { let dateFormatter = DateFormatter() dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MMMM" return dateFormatter.string(from: self) } }Get work with it like below:
let date = Date() let monthString = date.month
Swift 3.0 and higher
You use DateFormatter() see below for this used in an extension to Date.
Add this anywhere in your project in global scope.
extension Date { func monthAsString() -> String { let df = DateFormatter() df.setLocalizedDateFormatFromTemplate("MMM") return df.string(from: self) }}Then you can use this anywhere in your code.
let date = Date()date.monthAsString() // Returns current month e.g. "May"
