I have two dates i.e. 2/02/2016 & 19/03/2018
i am trying to fetch months & year between this dates as
output should be
Feb 2016, Mar 2016 ......and so on.... Jan 2018, Feb 2018, Mar 2018.
Tried month Gap code -
let date1 = DateComponents(calendar: .current, year: 2016, month: 2, day: 2).date!
let date2 = DateComponents(calendar: .current, year: 2018, month: 3, day: 19).date!
let monthGap = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.month], from: date1, to: date2)
print("monthGap is \(String(describing: monthGap.month))")//prints monthGap is 25
Here is a simple method that returns you the date and month in the format as you described above,
func getMonthAndYearBetween(from start: String, to end: String) -> [String] {
let format = DateFormatter()
format.dateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy"
guard let startDate = format.date(from: start),
let endDate = format.date(from: end) else {
return []
}
let calendar = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian)
let components = calendar.dateComponents(Set([.month]), from: startDate, to: endDate)
var allDates: [String] = []
let dateRangeFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateRangeFormatter.dateFormat = "MMM yyyy"
for i in 0 ... components.month! {
guard let date = calendar.date(byAdding: .month, value: i, to: startDate) else {
continue
}
let formattedDate = dateRangeFormatter.string(from: date)
allDates += [formattedDate]
}
return allDates
}
And you call it like,
getMonthAndYearBetween(from: "2/02/2016", to: "19/03/2018")
