How to create directory using Swift code (NSFileManager)

Question

I\'m having some trouble with converting Objective-C code to create a directory for Swift.

Objective-C:

    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectori         


        

Answer 1

None of @Kampai and @Crashalot's answers worked for me.

The .absoluteString makes a url with file:// prefix and it cause exception while creating directory. Instead I've used .path method.

The fixed code for Swift 3

let documentsDirectory = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first!
let dataPath = documentsDirectory.appendingPathComponent("MyFolder")

do {
    try FileManager.default.createDirectory(atPath: dataPath.path, withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: nil)
} catch let error as NSError {
    print("Error creating directory: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}

Swift 4

// DB Directory and Path
lazy var applicationDocumentsDirectory: URL = {

    let urls = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)
    let documentDirectoryURL = urls[urls.count - 1] as URL
    let dbDirectoryURL = documentDirectoryURL.appendingPathComponent("DB")

    if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: dbDirectoryURL.path) == false{
        do{
            try FileManager.default.createDirectory(at: dbDirectoryURL, withIntermediateDirectories: false, attributes: nil)
        }catch{
        }
    }
    return dbDirectoryURL
}()
