Swift version: 5.6
If you have an important text file built into your app bundle that want to load it at runtime fact, String
has an initializer just for this purpose. It’s called contentsOfFile
, and here it is in action:
if let filepath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "example", ofType: "txt") {
do {
let contents = try String(contentsOfFile: filepath)
print(contents)
} catch {
// contents could not be loaded
}
} else {
// example.txt not found!
}
That code loads a file called example.txt into a string called contents
.
