GMNSDateExtension

GMNSDateExtension is a simple Objective-C library designed to extend some functions of NSDate class.

Setup

To use GMNSDateExtension in your project copy "Library" folder and import just one file:

#import "GMNSDateExtension.h"

How To Use

Each method takes a parameter that specifies the format for each date. Example:

+(NSDate*) dateFromString: (NSString*) date withFormat: (NSString*) format

The format is your choice: @"yyyy-MM-dd @"dd-MM-yyyy ecc

But you can also use a standar format with:

[GMNSDateExtension dateFormat:DateFormatAmerican]

[GMNSDateExtension dateFormat:DateFormatEuropean]

Example to use

Examples to get day component from a generic date or yesterday/tomorrow date:

NSInteger dayComponent = [GMNSDateExtension dayComponenetFromDate:[NSDate date] withFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy"];

NSDate *tomorrow = [GMNSDateExtension dateTomorrowWithFormat: [GMNSDateExtension dateFormat: DateFormatEuropean]];

NSDate *yesterday = [GMNSDateExtension dateYesterdayWithFormat: [GMNSDateExtension dateFormat: DateFormatEuropean]];
