Repository Details

A thread safe date calculation library with all the date functions you'll ever need.

MTDates

Build Status Version Platform

MTDates is a category on NSDate that makes common date calculations super easy.

Installation

In your Podfile, add this line:

pod "MTDates"

pod? => https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/ NOTE: You may need to add -all_load to "Other Linker Flags" in your targets build settings if the pods library only contains categories.

Example Usage

NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
formatter.dateFormat = @"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mma";
NSDate *date = [formatter dateFromString:@"07/11/1986 11:29am"];

[date mt_year];                                                     // => 1986

[date mt_weekdayOfWeek];                                            // => 6

[date mt_minuteOfHour];                                             // => 29

[[date mt_startOfPreviousYear] mt_year];                            // => 1985

[[date mt_startOfPreviousYear] mt_stringFromDateWithISODateTime];   // => @"1985-01-01T00:00:00Z"

[[date mt_startOfPreviousMonth] mt_stringFromDatesFullMonth];       // => @"June"
