How to enter a specific date in the Swift3 Calendar?

Question

I need to enter a specific date in the Calendar, but I’m only able to add values based on the current date (maybe because when I do, I give a Calendar.Current). Someone knows how to enter (day, month and year) separately?

Answer 1

First you need the separate components using DateComponents:

var dateComponents = DateComponents()
dateComponents.year = 2017
dateComponents.month = 5
dateComponents.day = 20

Hence you can set a date based on these components:

let calendar = Calendar.current
let date = calendar.date(from: dateComponents)

In addition to the year, month and day, there are also other components that can be defined.
