Swift Question
Converting a rawValue into a string in Swift
Apple has made changes from Swift 3 to 4. When I run the following code:
let metadata = [ PDFDocumentAttribute.titleAttribute,
PDFDocumentAttribute.authorAttribute,
PDFDocumentAttribute.subjectAttribute,
PDFDocumentAttribute.creatorAttribute,
PDFDocumentAttribute.producerAttribute,
PDFDocumentAttribute.creationDateAttribute,
PDFDocumentAttribute.modificationDateAttribute,
PDFDocumentAttribute.keywordsAttribute ]
if var attributes = pdfDoc.documentAttributes {
for (index, value) in metadata.enumerated() {
if attributes[value] != nil {
print("\(metadata[index])): \(String(describing: attributes[value]!))")
} else {
print("\(metadata[index]): nil")
}
}
I now get: PDFDocumentAttribute(_rawValue: Title) instead of "Title", which I got before as the value of
metadata[index]How do I get rid of the rawValue stuff?

The PDFDocumentAttribute type has a property called rawValue that contains the old string value. So you can say
print("\(metadata[index].rawValue): \(String(describing: attributes[value]!))")
As an aside, instead of force-unwrapping the attribute you can use an if let, as in
if let attr = attributes[value] {
print("\(metadata[index].rawValue): \(attr)")
} else {
print("\(metadata[index].rawValue): nil")
}
