Swift 4，如果你真正需要的是24小时轮班(60*60*24秒)而不是“1个日历天”

未来: let dayAhead = Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: TimeInterval(86400.0))

过去: let dayAgo = Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: TimeInterval(-86400.0))

在Swift 2.1.1和xcode 7.1 OSX 10.10.5中，你可以使用函数添加任意数量的天数

func addDaystoGivenDate(baseDate:NSDate,NumberOfDaysToAdd:Int)->NSDate
{
    let dateComponents = NSDateComponents()
    let CurrentCalendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
    let CalendarOption = NSCalendarOptions()

    dateComponents.day = NumberOfDaysToAdd

    let newDate = CurrentCalendar.dateByAddingComponents(dateComponents, toDate: baseDate, options: CalendarOption)
    return newDate!
}

函数调用，将当前日期增加9天

var newDate = addDaystoGivenDate(NSDate(), NumberOfDaysToAdd: 9)
print(newDate)

函数调用，将当前日期减少80天

newDate = addDaystoGivenDate(NSDate(), NumberOfDaysToAdd: -80)
 print(newDate)

使用下面的函数，并使用days参数来获取日期daysAhead/daysBehind，只需将参数传递为正，表示未来日期，为负，表示之前日期:

+ (NSDate *) getDate:(NSDate *)fromDate daysAhead:(NSUInteger)days
{
    NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
    dateComponents.day = days;
    NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
    NSDate *previousDate = [calendar dateByAddingComponents:dateComponents
                                                     toDate:fromDate
                                                    options:0];
    [dateComponents release];
    return previousDate;
}

斯威夫特4.0

extension Date {
    func add(_ unit: Calendar.Component, value: Int) -> Date? {
        return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: unit, value: value, to: self)
    }
}

使用

date.add(.day, 3)!   // adds 3 days
date.add(.day, -14)!   // subtracts 14 days

注意:如果你不知道为什么代码行以感叹号结尾，可以在谷歌上查找“Swift optional”。

Swift 3.0非常简单的实现将是:

func dateByAddingDays(inDays: Int) -> Date {
    let today = Date()
    return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: inDays, to: today)!
}

NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components:NSYearCalendarUnit|NSMonthCalendarUnit|NSDayCalendarUnit fromDate:now];
NSDate *startDate = [calendar dateFromComponents:components];
NSLog(@"StartDate = %@", startDate);

components.day += 1;
NSDate *endDate = [calendar dateFromComponents:components];
NSLog(@"EndDate = %@", endDate);
