Get size and date of file

Question

Hello guys. Please give me your advise. I use Swift Dropbox API request (client.files.listFolder) for getting all folders/files recursively. In response I get description for every entry such as:

Description: {

"client_modified" = "2015-10-12T16:35:08Z";

"content_hash" = ca84996436ae8c430930029ed076c737fadc636556edc6cbbbe30a2d37a4c29e;

id = "id:hpY6wdEzzkAAAAAAAAAADg";

"is_downloadable" = 1;

name = "2601130556_1154272064.jpg";

"path_display" = "/folderOne/2601130556_1154272064.jpg";

"path_lower" = "/folderone/2601130556_1154272064.jpg";

rev = d3e1412dd;

"server_modified" = "2015-10-12T16:35:08Z";

size = 886663;

}

so the problem that descriptions has already been serialized from

open var description: String {

return "\(SerializeUtil.prepareJSONForSerialization(ListFolderResultSerializer().serialize(self)))"

}

The question is how can I get (serialize) size and client_modified date from this if it is a string-value already? Please help me!

You can access fields like size, etc., via the fields on the FileMetadata type, like this:

client.files.listFolder(path: path).response { (result, error) in
    if let listing = result {
        for entry in listing.entries {
            switch entry {
                case let fileMetadata as Files.FileMetadata:
                    print("File name: \(fileMetadata.name)")
                    print("File size: \(fileMetadata.size)")
                    print("File server modified time: \(fileMetadata.serverModified)")
                    print("File client modified time: \(fileMetadata.serverModified)")
                default:
                    print("other")
            }
        }
        // check listing.hasMore to see if there are more entries to retrieve
    } else {
       print(error!)
   }
}
