swift 3 date picker to display day month year only

I use the following code in swift 3 to bring up date picker.

import UIKit


class ViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {
    @IBOutlet var eventStartText: UITextField!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    eventStartText.delegate = self

    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

// MARK: TextField Delegate
func datePickerChanged(sender: UIDatePicker) {
    let formatter = DateFormatter()
    //formatter.dateStyle = .full
    formatter.dateStyle = .long
    formatter.timeStyle = .none
    eventStartText.text = formatter.string(from: sender.date)

    print("Try this at home")
}

func textFieldDidBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
    let datePicker = UIDatePicker()
    textField.inputView = datePicker
    datePicker.addTarget(self, action: #selector(datePickerChanged(sender:)), for: .valueChanged)

    print("This Worked")
}

func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
    eventStartText.resignFirstResponder()
    return true
}

// MARK: Helper Methods
func closekeyboard() {
    self.view.endEditing(true)
}

// MARK: Touch Events
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
    closekeyboard()
}

/*
 // MARK: - Navigation

 // In a storyboard-based application, you will often want to do a little preparation before navigation
 override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
 // Get the new view controller using segue.destinationViewController.
 // Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
 }
 */

}

How would i go about to only having day month and year. and since i am asked to supply more details then to make things clear, what i need is for swift 3 date picker to display day month year only Thanks

If you want to show only day, month and year with picker then simply set datePickerMode property of UIDatePicker to .date

let datePicker = UIDatePicker()
//set datePickerMode to date
datePicker.datePickerMode = .date

textField.inputView = datePicker
datePicker.addTarget(self, action: #selector(datePickerChanged(sender:)), for: .valueChanged)
