I have a rest api and am getting all data via Json then putting it in a IOS TableView. My issue is that some data is being returned as NULL
in Json
"vote_status":null
I am trying to get that NULL
value in swift and change it to a string "0" but am having a hard time doing so . I have this so far
if var vote_status = Stream["vote_status"] as? String {
if (vote_status == (vote_status)[NSNull]) {
vote_status = "0"
}
}
However I get this compile error:
Cannot subscript a value of type 'String' with an index of type '(NSNull).Type' (aka 'NSNull.Type')
I am doing this because nil and null does not seem to work so I can't do this.
if (vote_status == nil) ...
You just need to conditionally cast your dictionary value to String and use the Nil Coalescing Operator
??
to assign"0"
in case of failurenull
:Try something like this:
