How to convert only the date without time to a string in Swift

Answer 1

import Foundation

// Convert a Date to a string (YYYY-MM-DD)
func dateToString(_ date: Date) -> String {
    let formatter = DateFormatter()
    formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
    formatter.timeZone = TimeZone.current
    
    return formatter.string(from: date)
}

// Build a Date from integers (year, month, day)
func makeDate(_ y: Int, _ m: Int, _ d: Int) -> Date {
    var components = DateComponents()
    components.year = y
    components.month = m
    components.day = d
    
    return Calendar.current.date(from: components)!
}

let today = Date()
print("Today's date is: \(dateToString(today))")

let myDate = makeDate(2025, 12, 7)
print("Hard-coded date is: \(dateToString(myDate))")



/*
run:

Today's date is: 2026-05-31
Hard-coded date is: 2025-12-07

*/
