Get size and date of file
Hello guys. Please give me your advise. I use Swift Dropbox API request (client.files.listFolder) for getting all folders/files recursively. In response I get description for every entry such as:
Description: {
"client_modified" = "2015-10-12T16:35:08Z";
"content_hash" = ca84996436ae8c430930029ed076c737fadc636556edc6cbbbe30a2d37a4c29e;
id = "id:hpY6wdEzzkAAAAAAAAAADg";
"is_downloadable" = 1;
name = "2601130556_1154272064.jpg";
"path_display" = "/folderOne/2601130556_1154272064.jpg";
"path_lower" = "/folderone/2601130556_1154272064.jpg";
rev = d3e1412dd;
"server_modified" = "2015-10-12T16:35:08Z";
size = 886663;
}
so the problem that descriptions has already been serialized from
open var description: String {
return "\(SerializeUtil.prepareJSONForSerialization(ListFolderResultSerializer().serialize(self)))"
}
}
The question is how can I get (serialize) size and client_modified date from this if it is a string-value already? Please help me!
You can access fields like size, etc., via the fields on the FileMetadata type, like this:
client.files.listFolder(path: path).response { (result, error) in if let listing = result { for entry in listing.entries { switch entry { case let fileMetadata as Files.FileMetadata: print("File name: \(fileMetadata.name)") print("File size: \(fileMetadata.size)") print("File server modified time: \(fileMetadata.serverModified)") print("File client modified time: \(fileMetadata.serverModified)") default: print("other") } } // check listing.hasMore to see if there are more entries to retrieve } else { print(error!) } }
