Set time (Hours, minutes) on Date object

Question

I'm trying to let the user pick a date from the calendar and then set what time they want to be reminded on that date.

I get the date from this code:

func handleCellSelected(view: JTAppleCell?, cellState: CellState){
    guard let validCell = view as? CalendarCell else {return}
    if validCell.isSelected{
        validCell.selectedView.isHidden = false
        if userPickedDate {
            self.formatter.dateFormat = "YYYY MMMM dd, HH:mm"

            dateSelected.text = formatter.string(from: cellState.date)

This produces an output of the selected date with 00:00 in time. I want the user to be able to change the hours and minutes somehow, probably with a picker, to later be reminded on that date and time. Any ideas on how to change the hours and minutes inside the cellState.date?

FYI - you do not want `YYYY`. You want `yyyy` for the year. – rmaddy Jul 25 '17 at 19:06 — rmaddy, Jul 25 '17 at 19:06
Okey thanks, but what’s the difference? – CFRJ Jul 25 '17 at 19:07 — CFRJ, Jul 25 '17 at 19:07
Look at the date formatting specification. – rmaddy Jul 25 '17 at 19:08 — rmaddy, Jul 25 '17 at 19:08

You can set the datepicker's date to the cellState's date, and then you can only allow the datepicker to select hours and minutes. The resulting date from the datepicker will be the selected time on the date that you initially set it to. You can then grab that date and save it however you'd like.
