Installation

Using Cocoapod

Just add the following to your podfile

Using Carthage

From v2.1.0 onward, you can integrate DateTimePicker into your Xcode project using Carthage by specifying it in your Cartfile:

github "itsmeichigo/DateTimePicker" ~> 2.1.0

Run carthage update to build the framework and drag the built DateTimePicker.framework into your Xcode project.

Using Swift Package Manager

From v2.5.0 you can add DateTimePicker to your project via SPM. Paste link to this repo in SPM configuration window and you’re good to go.

Demo

Navigation to folder named DateTimePickerDemo, run pod install and open the workspace file to play around with DateTimePicker.

Usage

v2.0

Since v2.0 onward, picker view can be created separately and used to add to any view you want.
Note: the picker view is built with fixed width and height, so you’re not encouraged to manually update it or you will get corrupted UI for the view. If necessary, please only change the y position of the view.

let min = Date().addingTimeInterval(-60 * 60 * 24 * 4)
let max = Date().addingTimeInterval(60 * 60 * 24 * 4)
let picker = DateTimePicker.create(minimumDate: min, maximumDate: max)
picker.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 100, width: picker.frame.size.width, height: picker.frame.size.height)
self.view.addSubview(picker)

If you still want the old behavior (show the picker like a modal), you can call show method:

let picker = DateTimePicker()
picker.show()

v1.3 and below

For older versions, the only option is to use the built in show method, which returns an instance of DateTimePicker and also show the picker like a modal on top window. The picker can be dismissed when Cancel button is tapped.

let picker = DateTimePicker.show()

Customization

There are many options to customize picker for your own desire:

  • minimumDate and maximumDate: date and time limit for the picker. You can only set these when creating the picker, default value is last 10 days for minimum date and next 10 days for maximum date. If you set these dates yourself, make sure that minimum date is an earlier time than maximum date.
  • selectedDate: date to be selected when picker is first created, default is current date. Selected date has to be later than minimumDate and earlier than maximumDate.
  • locale: locale for the language displayed. default is device’s locale.
  • dateFormat: format for the date shown in picker view. default is HH:mm dd/MM/YYYY.
  • cancelButtonTitle: title for dismiss button, default is Cancel.
  • todayButtonTitle: title for reset time button, default to Today.
  • doneButtonTitle: title for done button, default to DONE.

  • isDatePickerOnly: whether to only show date in picker view, default to false.
  • isTimePickerOnly: whether to show only time in picker view, default to false.
  • includesMonth: whether to include month in date cells, default to false.
  • includesSecond: whether to show second in time selection, default to false.
  • timeInterval: time interval, in minutes, default to 1. If not default, infinite scrolling is off.
  • timeZone: timezone used in picker, default is device timezone.
  • dismissHandler: callback block when cancel button of picker view is tapped.
