MTZExpirationDatePicker

The MTZExpirationDatePicker is a simple component that subclasses UIPickerView and provides an easy and drop-in way to use it with your project. It also allows the setup of a minimum and maximum date.

Installation

Manual

Simply drop the files MTZExpirationDatePicker.h and MTZExpirationDatePicker.m to your project and import wherever needed.

CocoaPods

You can also declare the following on your Podfile:

pod 'MTZExpirationDatePicker', '~> 1.0.1'

Sample Usage

Using the picker is relatively straight forward. Most commonly as an inputView as such:

self.expirationDatePicker = [[MTZExpirationDatePicker alloc] init];
self.expirationDatePicker.datePickerDelegate = self; // Needed as UIPickerView doesn't inherited from UIControl.
if (minimumDate) {
    self.expirationDatePicker.minimumDate = minimumDate;
}

if (maximumDate) {
    self.expirationDatePicker.maximumDate = maximumDate;
}

[self.textField setInputView:self.expirationDatePicker];

Then on the delegate just implement the method to know whenever the date has been changed:

#pragma mark - MTZDatePickerDelegate
- (void)datePickerDidChangeDate:(MTZExpirationDatePicker *)datePicker {
    self.textField.text = [self.dateFormatter stringFromDate:datePicker.date];
}

or just access the property date whenever needed.

self.textField.text = [self.dateFormatter stringFromDate:self.expirationDatePicker.date];

You can also set a date manually, and it will respect the minimum and maximum dates, if any:

[self.expirationDatePicker setDate:[NSDate date] animated:YES];

If you don't fancy the separator, just disable it:

self.expirationDatePicker.showsSeparator = NO;

That's pretty much it. Enjoy! :)
