how to extract name and pathdisplay from swiftydropbox searchv2 results
I have an app in which I was using the SwiftyDropbox function
client.files.search
and now I'm upgrading to the new
client.files.searchV2
However, the results have also changed structure (to Files.MetadataV2). Where I used to get my results with the following
let match = matches[0] // Matches is the array of Files.Metadata let fileName = match.metadata.name let filePath = match.metadata.pathDisplay
now metadata contains none of these fields. What's the process to get them?
With the new method, you can access the metadata like this:
client.files.searchV2(query: query).response { response, error in if let response = response { for entry in response.matches { switch entry.metadata { case .metadata(let metadata): switch metadata { case let fileMetadata as Files.FileMetadata: print("File name: \(fileMetadata.name)") print("File display path: \(fileMetadata.pathDisplay ?? "")") case let folderMetadata as Files.FolderMetadata: print("Folder name: \(folderMetadata.name)") print("Folder display path: \(folderMetadata.pathDisplay ?? "")") case let deletedMetadata as Files.DeletedMetadata: print("Deleted entry name: \(deletedMetadata.name)") default: print("unknown metadata type") } default: print("unknown entry type") } print("") } } else if let error = error { print(error) } }
