In Swift how do you parse the result of a fbk graph request? I have a nested dictionary and casting to [String: String] does not work. I have casted to NSDictionary which works for level 1 but anything nested started complaining about optionals and casting. I see from the changeling that FBGraphObject has been deprecated, so what is the correct approach now in SDK 4?
My data looks like
{
data = {
"is_silhouette" = 0;
url = "...";
};
}
I can do
var data = photoRes["data"] as? NSDictionary
to get
Optional({
"is_silhouette" = 0;
url = "...;
})
I'm not sure how to parse that object...
EDIT For now I have it working with
var data = photoRes["data"] as? NSDictionary
var urlStr = data!["url"] as? String
if urlStr != nil {
let url = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: urlStr!)
//my code...
}
But this is a complicated approach especially if the result coming back is highly nested. Is there a better way to go about this?
Create a dictionary :
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var dict : NSDictionary!
}
Fetching the data :
if((FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken()) != nil){
FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: "me", parameters: ["fields": "id, name, first_name, last_name, picture.type(large), email"]).startWithCompletionHandler({ (connection, result, error) -> Void in
if (error == nil){
self.dict = result as NSDictionary
println(self.dict)
NSLog(self.dict.objectForKey("picture")?.objectForKey("data")?.objectForKey("url") as String)
}
})
}
Output should be :
{
email = "ashishkakkad8@gmail.com";
"first_name" = Ashish;
id = 910855688971343;
"last_name" = Kakkad;
name = "Ashish Kakkad";
picture = {
data = {
"is_silhouette" = 0;

};
};
}

This mess worked for me. I am using SWIFT 3.01 and FB Swift SDK
if let responseDictionary = response.dictionaryValue {
print(responseDictionary["name"] ?? "")
let a = responseDictionary["picture"] as! NSDictionary
let b = a["data"] as! NSDictionary
let c = b["url"]
print(c ?? "")
