GMNSDateExtension is a simple Objective-C library designed to extend some functions of NSDate class.
To use GMNSDateExtension in your project copy "Library" folder and import just one file:
#import "GMNSDateExtension.h"
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]
or
[GMNSDateExtension dateFormat:DateFormatEuropean]
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]];
Determines if an NSDate is today
+(BOOL) isToday: (NSDate*) date withFormat:(NSString*) format;
Determines if an NSDate is yesterday
+(BOOL) isYesterday: (NSDate*) date withFormat:(NSString*) format;
Determines if an NSDate is tomorrow
+(BOOL) isTomorrow: (NSDate*) date withFormat:(NSString*) format;
Get the Tommorrow date
+(NSDate *) dateTomorrowWithFormat:(NSString*) format;
Get the Yesterday date
+(NSDate *) dateYesterdayWithFormat:(NSString*) format;

+(NSDate*) dateFromString: (NSString*) date withFormat: (NSString*) format;
Convert NSDate to NSString
+(NSString*) stringFromDate: (NSDate*) date withFormat: (NSString*) format;
Get NSdateComponents from NSString
+(NSDateComponents*) dateComponentsFromString: (NSString*) date withFormat: (NSString*) format;
Get NSdateComponents from NSDate
+(NSDateComponents*) dateComponentsFromDate: (NSDate*) date withFormat: (NSString*) format;

+(NSInteger) minuteComponenetFromString:(NSString*) date withFormat: (NSString*) format;
+(NSInteger) secondComponenetFromString:(NSString*) date withFormat: (NSString*) format;
Get difference between two NSDate
+(NSInteger) yearsDifferenceFromDate:(NSDate*) fromDate toDate: (NSDate*) toDate withFormat: (NSString*) format;
+(NSInteger) monthsDifferenceFromDate:(NSDate*) fromDate toDate: (NSDate*) toDate withFormat: (NSString*) format;
+(NSInteger) daysDifferenceFromDate:(NSDate*) fromDate toDate: (NSDate*) toDate withFormat: (NSString*) format;
+(NSInteger) hoursDifferenceFromDate:(NSDate*) fromDate toDate: (NSDate*) toDate withFormat: (NSString*) format;
+(NSInteger) minuteDifferenceFromDate:(NSDate*) fromDate toDate: (NSDate*) toDate withFormat: (NSString*) format;
+(NSInteger) secondsDifferenceFromDate:(NSDate*) fromDate toDate: (NSDate*) toDate withFormat: (NSString*) format;
