SwiftDate is a 3rd party Swift library to make it easier to work with Dates and TimeZones.

Main features of SwiftDate:

  • Simple math operations with dates! Example: aDate + 2.weeks + 1.hour or (1.year - 2.hours + 16.minutes).fromNow()
  • Easy conversions to and from timezone, locale and calendar. Use the helper class DateInRegion and perform conversions with components and operations!
  • Compare dates with math operators <,>,==,<=,>=. For example, you can do aDate1 >= aDate2 or aDate1.isIn(anotherDate,.day)
  • Easily work with time components. E.g. aDateInRegion.day or hour, minutes etc. expressed in your favourite timezone!
  • Easy and optimized way to get and transform a date from and to strings: supports both colloquial (human readable) and fixed formats (ISO8601, AltRSS, RSS, Extended, .NET and custom string as per Unicode standard)
  • Express time interval in other time units; for example 120.seconds.in(.minutes) // 2 minutes
  • Many shortcuts to get intervals, work with time units, intervals and common date operations (isYesterday,isTomorrow,isBefore()...)

For more information, see the GitHub page of SwiftDate.

Hours between dates with SwiftDate

What's the easiest way to get number of hours between 2 dates with SwiftDate lib? In this case hours could be days / minutes or whatever I'll need next time. I see I can probably do (date1 - date2) / 60 * 60 but that just does not feel right.
