move a directory in swift

To move a directory in Swift, you can use the FileManager class provided by the Foundation framework. Here's a code snippet that demonstrates how to move a directory:

main.swift
let fileManager = FileManager.default
let sourceURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/path/to/source/directory")
let destinationURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/path/to/destination/directory")

do {
    try fileManager.moveItem(at: sourceURL, to: destinationURL)
    print("Directory moved successfully.")
} catch let error {
    print("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
365 chars
11 lines

In this example, we first create a FileManager instance. Then, we create URL objects for both the source and destination directories.

We use try and catch to handle any errors that may occur during the move.

Finally, we call the moveItem(at:to:) method of FileManager to move the directory from the source to the destination. If the move is successful, we print a success message. Otherwise, we print an error message along with the localized description of the error.

Note that this code snippet assumes that the source directory and its contents are all writable and that the destination directory is writable and does not already exist. If the destination directory already exists, this code will overwrite it.
