Converting Date to DateComponents in SwiftUI: A Step-by-Step Guide

Setting up daily notifications in a SwiftUI app can be an essential feature. However, many developers encounter challenges when trying to convert a selected Date from a DatePicker into DateComponents, especially when working with notifications. If you've ever wondered how to successfully achieve this, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive into the solution.

The Problem: Setting Notifications

When you create a DatePicker for users to select a specific hour and minute for their notification, you need to convert this selected time into DateComponents. This is crucial for a proper setup of the UNCalendarNotificationTrigger. Here's what the scenario looks like:

You have a DatePicker where users select their notification time.

You need to transform that time into a format that the notification system can recognize (i.e., DateComponents).

You're looking for a straightforward way to extract the hour and minute from the selected Date.

In this example, notifTime represents the selected date and time from the DatePicker.

The Solution: Using Calendar API

To convert the selected Date into DateComponents, we can make use of the Calendar API in Swift. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown to guide you through the process:

Step 1: Declare your Date Variable

First, ensure you have a Date variable that will hold the selected time from your DatePicker:
