I have this function : 

private func getCurrentDateComponent() -> NSDateComponents {
        let date = NSDate()
        let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
        let components = calendar.components(.CalendarUnitHour | .CalendarUnitMinute | .CalendarUnitMonth | .CalendarUnitYear | .CalendarUnitDay, fromDate: date)
        return components
    }

When I call it and I use the function date

var d = this.getCurrentDateComponent().date

I don't know why the variable d is nil...

Thank you for your help

Ysee

Swift 4 :

let date = NSCalendar.current.date(from: components) 

// components is your component name
