SwiftyDropbox createSharedLinkWithSettings (was createSharedLink)

Googling around led me to cocoadocs.org which seems to have an older version of SwiftyDropbox. It has createSharedLink(path:shortUrl:pendingUpload:) "Create a shared link. If a shared link already e...

    The official documentation for the sharing routes for the latest version of SwiftyDropbox can be found be found here.

     

    The createSharedLink method was deprecated in favor of createSharedLinkWithSettings to match updates to the Dropbox product itself.

     

    If a link already exists, you can retrieve it using listSharedLinks.

    I can't make any promises as to if or when that would be added, but I'm sending that along as a feature request.

    When I looked closer at listSharedLinks I noted the path and directOnly arguments, that helped.

    This is what I ended up with:

     

     

     

    func OldCreateSharedLink(url: URL, dropboxPath: String, completionHandler: @escaping (_ sharedLink: String) -> Void) {
       if let client = DropboxClientsManager.authorizedClient {
          let request = client.sharing.createSharedLinkWithSettings(path: dropboxPath)
             .response { response, error in
                if let response = response {
                   print(response)
                   completionHandler(response.url)
                } else if let error = error {
                   print(error)
                   switch error as CallError {
                   case .routeError(let boxed, let requestId):
                      print("RouteError[\(String(describing: requestId))]:")
                      switch boxed.unboxed as Sharing.CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsError {
                      case .sharedLinkAlreadyExists:
                         let request2 = client.sharing.listSharedLinks(path: dropboxPath, cursor: nil, directOnly: true)
                            .response { response, error in
                               if let response = response {
                                  print(response)
                                  if let theFirstTheBest = response.links.first {
                                     completionHandler(theFirstTheBest.url)
                                  }
                               } else if let error = error {
                                  print(error)
                               }
                         }
                         print(request2)
                      default:
                         print("\(boxed.unboxed)")
                      }
                   default:
                      break
                   }
                }
          }
          print(request)
       }
    }

    Thank you for your help
