What is the proper way to get "server_modified" date from DBFILESMetadata?
What is the proper way to get "server_modified" date from DBFILESMetadata in Objective-C API? There is no corresponding property in the current specification, but it seems that it exists in the description property in the form of the following text.
{
"client_modified" = "2020-07-08T00:10:50Z";
.....
"server_modified" = "2020-07-08T00:10:50Z";
.....
size = 943;
}
Is it OK to assume that the format in this description property does not change?
You can access the server_modified property on a DBFILESFileMetadata (its not available on DBFILESMetadata itself) like this:
[[client.filesRoutes getMetadata:path] setResponseBlock:^(DBFILESMetadata * _Nullable result, DBFILESGetMetadataError * _Nullable routeError, DBRequestError * _Nullable networkError) { if (result) { if ([result isKindOfClass:[DBFILESFileMetadata class]]) { DBFILESFileMetadata *fileMetadata = (DBFILESFileMetadata *)result; NSLog(@"This is a file at path: %@ with server modified time: %@\n", fileMetadata.pathDisplay, fileMetadata.serverModified); } else { NSLog(@"Not a file."); // folder (or deleted, if setting includeDeleted:YES) } } else { // error handling } }];
