Question

i am using documentPicker to get url path of any document and then uploaded to the database. I am choosing file (pdf, txt ..) , the upload is working but i want to limit the siz

Answer 1

It's very easy with latest version of swift to calculate size of file using byte counter formatter:

var fileSizeValue: UInt64 = 0

    do {

        let fileAttribute: [FileAttributeKey : Any] = try FileManager.default.attributesOfItem(atPath: url.path)

        if let fileNumberSize: NSNumber = fileAttribute[FileAttributeKey.size] as? NSNumber {
            fileSizeValue = UInt64(fileNumberSize)

            let byteCountFormatter: ByteCountFormatter = ByteCountFormatter()
            byteCountFormatter.countStyle = ByteCountFormatter.CountStyle.file

            byteCountFormatter.allowedUnits = ByteCountFormatter.Units.useBytes
            print(byteCountFormatter.string(fromByteCount: Int64(fileSizeValue)))

            byteCountFormatter.allowedUnits = ByteCountFormatter.Units.useKB
            print(byteCountFormatter.string(fromByteCount: Int64(fileSizeValue)))

            byteCountFormatter.allowedUnits = ByteCountFormatter.Units.useMB
            print(byteCountFormatter.string(fromByteCount: Int64(fileSizeValue)))

        }

    } catch {
        print(error.localizedDescription)
    }

extension URL {
    func fileSize() -> Double {
        var fileSize: Double = 0.0
        var fileSizeValue = 0.0
        try? fileSizeValue = (self.resourceValues(forKeys: [URLResourceKey.fileSizeKey]).allValues.first?.value as! Double?)!
        if fileSizeValue > 0.0 {
            fileSize = (Double(fileSizeValue) / (1024 * 1024))
        }
        return fileSize
    }
}

Answer 3

First of all, in the file system you get the path of a URL with the path property.

self.path = url.path

But you don't need that at all. You can retrieve the file size from the URL directly:

self.path = String(describing: self.file!) // url to string

do {
    let resources = try url.resourceValues(forKeys:[.fileSizeKey])
    let fileSize = resources.fileSize!
    print ("\(fileSize)")
} catch {
    print("Error: \(error)")
}

Swift 4.1 & 5

func fileSize(forURL url: Any) -> Double {
        var fileURL: URL?
        var fileSize: Double = 0.0
        if (url is URL) || (url is String)
        {
            if (url is URL) {
                fileURL = url as? URL
            }
            else {
                fileURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: url as! String)
            }
            var fileSizeValue = 0.0
            try? fileSizeValue = (fileURL?.resourceValues(forKeys: [URLResourceKey.fileSizeKey]).allValues.first?.value as! Double?)!
            if fileSizeValue > 0.0 {
                fileSize = (Double(fileSizeValue) / (1024 * 1024))
            }
        }
        return fileSize
    }

Swift 4:

func sizePerMB(url: URL?) -> Double {
    guard let filePath = url?.path else {
        return 0.0
    }
    do {
        let attribute = try FileManager.default.attributesOfItem(atPath: filePath)
        if let size = attribute[FileAttributeKey.size] as? NSNumber {
            return size.doubleValue / 1000000.0
        }
    } catch {
        print("Error: \(error)")
    }
    return 0.0
}
