Swift code to calculate age in years, months and days from a person's dob

CalculateAge.swift

func calculateAge(dob : String) -> (year :Int, month : Int, day : Int){
    let df = NSDateFormatter()
    df.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
    let date = df.dateFromString(dob)
    guard let val = date else{
        return (0, 0, 0)
    }
    var years = 0
    var months = 0
    var days = 0
    
    let cal = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
    years = cal.component(.Year, fromDate: NSDate()) -  cal.component(.Year, fromDate: val)
    
    let currMonth = cal.component(.Month, fromDate: NSDate())
    let birthMonth = cal.component(.Month, fromDate: val)
    
    //get difference between current month and birthMonth
    months = currMonth - birthMonth
    //if month difference is in negative then reduce years by one and calculate the number of months.
    if months < 0
    {
        years = years - 1
        months = 12 - birthMonth + currMonth
        if cal.component(.Day, fromDate: NSDate()) < cal.component(.Day, fromDate: val){
            months = months - 1
        }
    } else if months == 0 && cal.component(.Day, fromDate: NSDate()) < cal.component(.Day, fromDate: val)
    {
        years = years - 1
        months = 11
    }
    
    //Calculate the days
    if cal.component(.Day, fromDate: NSDate()) > cal.component(.Day, fromDate: val){
        days = cal.component(.Day, fromDate: NSDate()) - cal.component(.Day, fromDate: val)
    }
    else if cal.component(.Day, fromDate: NSDate()) < cal.component(.Day, fromDate: val)
    {
        let today = cal.component(.Day, fromDate: NSDate())
        let date = cal.dateByAddingUnit(.Month, value: -1, toDate: NSDate(), options: [])
        
        days = (cal.component(.Day, fromDate: date!) - cal.component(.Day, fromDate: val)) + today
    } else
    {
        days = 0
        if months == 12
        {
            years = years + 1
            months = 0
        }
    }
    
    return (years, months, days)
}

Hi! Thanks for this code, that was very useful for me. But you've kinda got a bug here.

Line 43: cal.component(.day, from: date!) = number of days for the given date, but not the total number of days for the month in a given date as you'd wish.

I fixed it like this (Swift 4):

extension Date{
     var daysInMonth:Int{
        let calendar = Calendar.current
        
        let dateComponents = DateComponents(year: calendar.component(.year, from: self), month: calendar.component(.month, from: self))
        let date = calendar.date(from: dateComponents)!
        
        let range = calendar.range(of: .day, in: .month, for: date)!
        let numDays = range.count
        
        return numDays
    }
}

Line 43:  days = date.daysInMonth - cal.component(.day, from: val) + today

Thankyou!
this is the Swift 4 version. plus that fix from @helenhell

    func calculateAge(dob : String, format:String = "yyyy-MM-dd") -> (year :Int, month : Int, day : Int){
        let df = DateFormatter()
        df.dateFormat = format
        let date = df.date(from: dob)
        guard let val = date else{
            return (0, 0, 0)
        }
        var years = 0
        var months = 0
        var days = 0
        
        let cal = Calendar.current
        years = cal.component(.year, from: Date()) -  cal.component(.year, from: val)
        
        let currMonth = cal.component(.month, from: Date())
        let birthMonth = cal.component(.month, from: val)
        
        //get difference between current month and birthMonth
        months = currMonth - birthMonth
        //if month difference is in negative then reduce years by one and calculate the number of months.
        if months < 0
        {
            years = years - 1
            months = 12 - birthMonth + currMonth
            if cal.component(.day, from: Date()) < cal.component(.day, from: val){

        } else
        {
            days = 0
            if months == 12
            {
                years = years + 1
                months = 0
            }
        }
