I need url filepath be a URL (NSURL in old versions of Swift). I have this:
let paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(
.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)
// NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
let documentsDirectory = paths[0] as String
var filePath:String? = nil
var fileNamePostfix = 0
repeat {
filePath =
"\(documentsDirectory)/\(dateTimePrefix)-\(fileNamePostfix).mp4"
fileNamePostfix += 1
} while (FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: filePath))
I need to convert this to URL for use in self.fileOutput.startRecording(to: <#outputFileURL: URL?#>, recordingDelegate: <#AVCaptureFileOutputRecordingDelegate?#>)
method.
I tried filePath as? URL()
but it isn't correct.
Basic URL Operations It all starts with basic operations to create and work with links. For example, you can convert a String value into a URL as follows: let url = URL(string: "https://www.avanderlee.com")! That looks a lot more swiftly and allows us to keep our implementation code clean from unwraps!
you need to do:
let fileUrl = URL(string: filePath)
or
let fileUrl = URL(fileURLWithPath: filePath)
depending on your needs. See URL docs
Before Swift 3, URL was called NSURL.
In swift 3 use:
let url = URL(string: "Whatever url you have(eg: https://google.com)")
