I have a URL coming in to the AppDelegate method:
func application(_ application: UIApplication, open url: URL, sourceApplication: String?, annotation: Any) -> Bool {
}
The URL looks like www.wesite.com/shareplace.html?placeid=123
.
How can it be converted to a dictionary for easy access?
I found some code on some website, but it's showing an error in Xcode 9:
extension URL {
var queryDictionary: [String: AnyObject]? {
return URLComponents(url: self, resolvingAgainstBaseURL: false)?
.queryItems?
.reduce([:], combine: { (var result: [String: AnyObject], queryItem) -> [String: AnyObject] in
if queryItem.value?.containsString(",") ?? false {
let array = queryItem.value?.componentsSeparatedByString(",")
result[queryItem.name] = array
}
else {
result[queryItem.name] = queryItem.value
}
return result
})
}
}
.reduce([:], combine: { (var result: [String: AnyObject], queryItem) -> [String: AnyObject] in
(var result) Parameters may not have the 'var' specifier
Simple Extension
extension URL {
var queryDictionary: [String: String]? {
guard let query = self.query else { return nil}
var queryStrings = [String: String]()
for pair in query.components(separatedBy: "&") {
let key = pair.components(separatedBy: "=")[0]
let value = pair
.components(separatedBy:"=")[1]
.replacingOccurrences(of: "+", with: " ")
.removingPercentEncoding ?? ""
queryStrings[key] = value
}
return queryStrings
}
}
