Is there a date only (no time) class in Swift? (or Foundation classes)

Question

Is there a date only (no time) class in Swift? (or Foundation classes)

(as an aside if there is not but there is a well known/popular open-source library that implements this if you could mention this)

EDIT: Updated to clarify with " (or Foundation classes)"

Answer 1

If you want to get a Date object in Swift 4, like when you are trying to store a Date object in core data, you can use this method.

 private func getDate() -> Date {
let today = Date()

let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.timeStyle = DateFormatter.Style.none
dateFormatter .dateStyle = DateFormatter.Style.short

let dateAsString = dateFormatter.string(from: today)

return dateFormatter.date(from: dateAsString)!
}

based on @John R Perry's answer.

Answer 2

Swift 3.0

let date = Date()

let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.timeStyle = DateFormatter.Style.none
dateFormatter.dateStyle = DateFormatter.Style.short

dateFormatter.string(from: date) // 12/15/16
