SOLVED: DatePicker how to make it so I can choose only the last 3 days?

Forums > 100 Days of SwiftUI

DatePicker("Please enter a time", selection: $dateOfEntry, in: ...Date.now, displayedComponents: .date)
                  .labelsHidden()

This code allows me to choose only the past dates but i want to be able to choose last 3 days only. Like Date.now - 3 days until Date.now.

Hi, you could do this:

DatePicker("Please enter a time", selection: $dateOfEntry, in: Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: -259200)...Date.now, displayedComponents: .date)
                          .labelsHidden()

@Hectorcrdna if I understand correctly you took 3 days(72 hours) and converted it to seconds?

Thank you in any case. Works perfect

I have being working with Date recently. And did this

extension Date {
  public func add(day: Int) -> Date {
      let calendar = Calendar.current
      guard let date = calendar.date(byAdding: DateComponents(day: day), to: self) else {
          fatalError("Unable to get start date from date")
      }
      return date
    }
}

then

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var datePicked = Date.now

    var dateRange: ClosedRange<Date> {
        let calendar = Calendar.current

        let startComponents = calendar.dateComponents([.day, .month, .year], from: Date.now.add(week: -5))
        let endComponents = calendar.dateComponents([.day, .month, .year], from: Date.now)

        return calendar.date(from: startComponents)! ... calendar.date(from: endComponents)!
    }

    var body: some View {
        DatePicker("Please enter a day", selection: $datePicked, in: dateRange, displayedComponents: .date)
            .labelsHidden()
    }
}

@TheFuentes5551, Yes, the Date(timeIntervalSinceNow:) takes it's input in seconds so to go backwards you would subtract the 3 days in seconds.
