I have a ShareExtension
in which I like need to get the current URL
. This is my function for it:
var html: String?
if let item = extensionContext?.inputItems.first as? NSExtensionItem,
let itemProvider = item.attachments?.first,
itemProvider.hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier("public.url") {
itemProvider.loadItem(forTypeIdentifier: "public.url", options: nil) { (url, error) in
if (url as? URL) != nil {
html = (self.getHTMLfromURL(url: url as? URL))
}
}
}
My problem is that I need the html
but when using that variable
right after that function html
is still empty. I think I need some sort of completion handler
but I tried different things now and can not get it right...
This is how my whole function looks like at the moment (not working, as html
becomes an empty String
)
@objc func actionButtonTapped(){
do {
var html: String?
if let item = extensionContext?.inputItems.first as? NSExtensionItem,
let itemProvider = item.attachments?.first,
itemProvider.hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier("public.url") {
itemProvider.loadItem(forTypeIdentifier: "public.url", options: nil) { (url, error) in
if (url as? URL) != nil {
html = (self.getHTMLfromURL(url: url as? URL))
}
}
}
let doc: Document = try SwiftSoup.parse(html ?? "")
let priceClasses: Elements = try doc.select("[class~=(?i)price]")
for priceClass: Element in priceClasses.array() {
let priceText : String = try priceClass.text()
print(try priceClass.className())
print("pricetext: \(priceText)")
}
let srcs: Elements = try doc.select("img[src]")
let srcsStringArray: [String?] = srcs.array().map { try? $0.attr("src").description }
for imageName in srcsStringArray {
print(imageName!)
}
} catch Exception.Error( _, let message) {
print(message)
} catch {
print("error")
}
}
The Goal is to have a extra function
to get the url
(1st code example) with a completion handler in which I can work with the created html
.
the problem was that I didn't realize that I already had a completionHandler
with loadItems
. So what I did now was to put the whole do & catch
block in another method and called it in the completion handler like this:
@objc func actionButtonTapped(){
var html: String?
if let item = extensionContext?.inputItems.first as? NSExtensionItem,
let itemProvider = item.attachments?.first,
itemProvider.hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier("public.url") {
itemProvider.loadItem(forTypeIdentifier: "public.url", options: nil) { (url, error) in
if (url as? URL) != nil {
html = (self.getHTMLfromURL(url: url as? URL))
print("bruh")
self.doStuff(html: html)
}
}
}
}
func doStuff(html: String?){
do {
let doc: Document = try SwiftSoup.parse(html ?? "")
let priceClasses: Elements? = try doc.select("[class~=(?i)price]")
for priceClass: Element in priceClasses!.array() {
let priceText : String = try priceClass.text()
print(try priceClass.className())
print("pricetext: \(priceText)")
}
let srcs: Elements = try doc.select("img[src]")
let srcsStringArray: [String?] = srcs.array().map { try? $0.attr("src").description }
for imageName in srcsStringArray {
print(imageName!)
}
} catch Exception.Error( _, let message) {
print(message)
} catch {
print("error")
}
}
