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

According to Apple, use of NSTemporaryDirectory is discouraged:

See the FileManager method url(for:in:appropriateFor:create:) for the preferred means of finding the correct temporary directory. For more information about temporary files, see File System Programming Guide.

So instead, you should use FileManager.default.temporaryDirectory

or if you want an unique path:

let extractionPath = FileManager.default.temporaryDirectory.appendingPathComponent(UUID().uuidString, isDirectory: true)
