Alamofire.download() method: Where is the file and did it save successfully?

Question

The example for using Alamofire.download() works just fine, but there isn\'t any detail in how to access the resulting downloaded file. I can figure out where the file is and wh

Answer 1

Swift 2.1 and a little simpler:

var localPath: NSURL?
Alamofire.download(.GET,
    "http://jplayer.org/video/m4v/Big_Buck_Bunny_Trailer.m4v",
    destination: { (temporaryURL, response) in
    let directoryURL = NSFileManager.defaultManager().URLsForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory, inDomains: .UserDomainMask)[0]
    let pathComponent = response.suggestedFilename
            
    localPath = directoryURL.URLByAppendingPathComponent(pathComponent!)
        return localPath!
    })
    .response { (request, response, _, error) in
        print(response)
        print("Downloaded file to \(localPath!)")
    }
)

Still hard to understand why they are using closures to set the destination path...
