Getting rev from DBFILESMetadata in obj-c API 2
Dear Dropbox, Thanks for the new obj-c API v2, looks like quite an effort! So far it's more convenient to use than API v1 and integration is going well. However, I'm a little held up on how to wo...
In your example, you would get it like this:
self.dropboxFileRevision = ([result isKindOfClass:[DBFILESFileMetadata class]] ? [(DBFILESFileMetadata *)result rev] : nil);
DBFILESFileMetadata is a subclass of DBFILESMetadata. Basically (as I understand it), you’ll never receive a vanilla DBFILESMetadata object in a response, but will receive one of its subclasses - DBFILESFolderMetadata, DBFILESFileMetadata or DBFILESDeletedMetadata. So you need to check the class of the meta-data object to see what you can extract from it. (I wrote a category so that I can call -isDirectory, -isFile or -isDeleted on the meta-data object rather than have to write out -isKindOfClass: each time.)
(I’ve been getting to grips with the new API msyelf over the past few days, and the above comes from hounding Greg at Dropbox with questions. :) )
