how to get the date only in iOS not time

I want to get the only date in iOS and not time my code is

extension Date{
   var DateInDate: Date{
      let formatter = DateFormatter()
      formatter.setLocalizedDateFormatFromTemplate("yyyy-MM-dd")
      formatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_IN")
      let dateInString = formatter.string(from: self)
      return formatter.date(from: dateInString)!
   }
}

if I am doing by the above format I am getting the answer as "Apr 3, 2019 at 12: 00 AM"

my other code is 

extension Date{
   var DateInDate: String{
      let formatter = DateFormatter()
      formatter.dateStyle = .short
      formatter.timeStyle = .none
      formatter.setLocalizedDateFormatFromTemplate("yyyy-MM-dd")
      formatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_IN")
      let dateInString = formatter.string(from: self)
  }
}

but in this way, I am getting in string format and not a Date format

I want the answer in date format

Try this:

 let date = Date()
 let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
 dateFormatter.timeStyle = DateFormatter.Style.none
 dateFormatter.dateStyle = DateFormatter.Style.short
 dateFormatter.string(from: date)

As mentioned in the comments a Date instance without the time portion is impossible.

In terms of Date a timeless date is midnight, the start of the day.

There is an convenience API in Calendar:

let startOfDay = Calendar.current.startOfDay(for: Date())

You should use DateComponents instead. Date would always have the time.
