Getting the last day of a month

How can I get the last day of the current month as an NSDate?

Solution 1:

NSDate *curDate = [NSDate date];
NSCalendar* calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDateComponents* comps = [calendar components:NSYearCalendarUnit|NSMonthCalendarUnit|NSWeekCalendarUnit|NSWeekdayCalendarUnit fromDate:curDate]; // Get necessary date components

// set last of month
[comps setMonth:[comps month]+1];
[comps setDay:0];
NSDate *tDateMonth = [calendar dateFromComponents:comps];
NSLog(@"%@", tDateMonth);

should also work.

Solution 2:

// Adapted from running code in my app

NSDate *curDate = [NSDate date];
NSCalendar *currentCalendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSRange daysRange = 
[currentCalendar 
 rangeOfUnit:NSDayCalendarUnit 
 inUnit:NSMonthCalendarUnit 
 forDate:curDate];

// daysRange.length will contain the number of the last day
// of the month containing curDate

NSLog(@"%i", daysRange.length);

Solution 3:

Put this in a category:

-(NSDate*)lastDayOfMonth
{
    NSInteger dayCount = [self numberOfDaysInMonthCount];

    NSDateComponents *comp = [[self calendar] components:
                              NSCalendarUnitYear |
                              NSCalendarUnitMonth |
                              NSCalendarUnitDay fromDate:self];

    [comp setDay:dayCount];

    return [[self calendar] dateFromComponents:comp];
}

-(NSInteger)numberOfDaysInMonthCount
{
    NSRange dayRange = [[self calendar] rangeOfUnit:NSCalendarUnitDay
                                             inUnit:NSCalendarUnitMonth
                                            forDate:self];

    return dayRange.length;
}

-(NSCalendar*)calendar
{
    NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];    
    [calendar setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:TIMEZONE]];
    return calendar;
}

Solution 4:

Swift version

extension NSDate {
    func lastDayOfMonth() -> NSDate {
        let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
        let dayRange = calendar.rangeOfUnit(.Day, inUnit: .Month, forDate: self)
        let dayCount = dayRange.length
        let comp = calendar.components([.Year, .Month, .Day], fromDate: self)

        comp.day = dayCount

        return calendar.dateFromComponents(comp)!
    }
}
