Can't converting String to NSDate Swift

Question

 func createDatePicker() {
    datePicker?.preferredDatePickerStyle = .wheels
    datePicker?.datePickerMode = .date
    dateTextField.inputView = datePicker
    dateTextField.inputAccessoryView = createToolBar()
}

@objc func donePressed() {
    let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.dateStyle = .medium
    dateFormatter.timeStyle = .none

    self.dateTextField.text = dateFormatter.string(from: datePicker!.date)
    self.view.endEditing(true)
}

This code is in firstViewController for datePicker, and in the secondViewController I have this error. I want to make counting down days from today to date selected with picker.

The date format most likely does not match the date string being passed in. — luk2302, Jan 26 '21 at 13:09
You crash on `date(from:)` and show only the code of `.string(from:)`. We don't know how liiks like `dateOfEvent`, and the formatter use has no format? — Larme, Jan 26 '21 at 13:10

dateFormatter.dateFormat should match the date string you are passing.

This is more suitable as a comment than an answer. – Joakim Danielson Jan 26 '21 at 13:40
@m_k_s It works now, but in label is displaying "day: 453 isLeapMonth: false ". How to get just number from this? – ifF3 Jan 26 '21 at 15:50
@ifF3 I think components.day should give the integer. – m_k_s Jan 26 '21 at 18:48
