FRDateRange 0.2.0

You want to add pod 'FRDateRange', '~> 0.2' similar to the following to your Podfile:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'FRDateRange', '~> 0.2'
end

Then run a pod install inside your terminal, or from CocoaPods.app.

Alternatively to give it a test run, run the command:

pod try FRDateRange

FRDateRange exists to encapsulate date ranges, and provide helper methods for calcuating if a date lies within it's range;

Usage

Firstly you'll need to create a Date range

FRDateRange *range = [FRDateRange dateRangeWithStartDate:[NSDate distantPast] endDate:[NSDate futureDate]];

Once you've got that range you can few different things like:

Discover if a date is within that range.

if ([range isDateInRange:otherDate]) {
  //
}

Get the duration of the range.

NSTimeInterval length = [range duration];

Get a predicate for the range, useful with working with CoreData or collections.

[range predicateWithKeyPath:keyPathOfYourObject]

Get the next period using the same date range duration.

FRDateRange *nextRange = [range dateRangeForNextPeriod];

FRDateRange *previousRange = [range dateRangeForPreviousPeriod];

Move the date range "window" forward (or backward using negative values) by years or months.

FRDateRange *advancedRanage = [range dateRangeByAdvancedByMonths:1];
