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

The accepted answer no longer compiles as the line with appendingPathComponent generates an error.

Here's a Swift 3 version that compiles:

fileprivate func createDir(dirName: String) {
    let documentsDirectory = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
    let dataPath = documentsDirectory.appendingPathComponent(dirName)

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