I would like to grab the id of the field "name": "Profile Pictures" . I am using SwiftyJSON to cast the types and so far I managed to do this :
let dictionary = JSON(result)
// print("albums **************\(dictionary)")
if let data = dictionary["data"].array {
print("data of profilePicture ******* \(data)")
let index = data.index{ $0["name"] == "Profile Pictures" }
}
}
I could detech the name of profilePicture as you can see but now I want to grab the id of that json object. Please help.

Answer 1

Use filter to get the dictionary you're interested in…
let dictionary = JSON(result)
// print("albums **************\(dictionary)")
if let data = dictionary["data"].array {
print("data of profilePicture ******* \(data)")
if let dict = data.filter{ $0["name"] == "Profile Pictures" }.first as? [String: String] {
let id = dict["id"]
}
}

Answer 2

let dictionary = JSON(result)
// print("albums ID are **************\(dictionary)")
if let data = dictionary["data"].array {
print("data of profilePicture ******* \(data)")
if let dict = data.first(where: { ($0["name"].string ) == "Profile Pictures" }) {
let id = dict["id"]
print("my desired id : ********* \(id)")
}
}
