Accessing temp directory in Swift

Question

I was trying to access temp directory in Swift. In Objective-C, I could use the following code to do so:

- (NSString *)tempDirectory {

    NSString *tempDir         


        

Answer 1

Swift 3 and up

I think a good way to do this in swift is with an extension on FileManager. This should create a unique temporary folder and return the URL to you.

extension FileManager{

    func createTemporaryDirectory() throws -> URL {
        let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: NSTemporaryDirectory()).appendingPathComponent(UUID().uuidString)

        try createDirectory(at: url, withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: nil)
        return url
    }
}
