With iOS 12.1, unarchiveObject(withFile:)
was deprecated.
How can you convert NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObject(withFile: String)
to use a call to NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveTopLevelObjectWithData(data: Data)
, or NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchivedObject(ofClasses: [AnyClass]
, from: Data), or NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchivedObject(ofClass: NSCoding.Protocol, from: Data)
?
I'm guessing you have to have something like let fileData = try Data(contentsOf: URL)
and then use one of those methods to unarchive the data. But, I cannot figure it out and the documentation accompanying the depreciation is not helpful (at least to me).
The archived data is rather simple -- just an array of strings (an array of class NameToBeSaved
as defined by this code):
class NameToBeSaved: NSObject, NSCoding {
var name: String
init(userEnteredName: String) {
self.name = userEnteredName
super.init()
}
func encode(with aCoder: NSCoder) {
aCoder.encode(name, forKey: "name")
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
name = aDecoder.decodeObject(forKey: "name") as! String
super.init()
}
Here is the code calling unarchiveObject(withFile:) -
init() {
if let archivedCategoryNames = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObject(withFile: categoryNameArchiveURL.path) as? [NameToBeSaved] {
allCategories += archivedCategoryNames
} else {
for category in starterCategories {
let thisNewCategory = NameToBeSaved(userEnteredName: category)
createNewCategory(thisNewCategory)
}
sortCategories()
}
}
I don't know if this is the best solution, but this solved the conversion for me (old code commented out for comparison):
init() {
do {
let rawdata = try Data(contentsOf: categoryNameArchiveURL)
if let archivedCategoryNames = try NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveTopLevelObjectWithData(rawdata) as! [NameToBeSaved]? {
allCategories += archivedCategoryNames
}
} catch {
print("Couldn't read file")
for category in starterCategories {
let thisNewCategory = NameToBeSaved(userEnteredName: category)
createNewCategory(thisNewCategory)
}
sortCategories()
}
/* if let archivedCategoryNames = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObject(withFile: categoryNameArchiveURL.path) as? [NameToBeSaved] {
allCategories += archivedCategoryNames
} else {
for category in starterCategories {
let thisNewCategory = NameToBeSaved(userEnteredName: category)
createNewCategory(thisNewCategory)
}
sortCategories()
}
*/
}
