Print the size (megabytes) of Data in Swift
Use yourData.count and divide by 1024 * 1024. Using Alexanders excellent suggestion:
func stackOverflowAnswer() {
if let data = #imageLiteral(resourceName: "VanGogh.jpg").pngData() {
print("There were \(data.count) bytes")
let bcf = ByteCountFormatter()
bcf.allowedUnits = [.useMB] // optional: restricts the units to MB only
bcf.countStyle = .file
let string = bcf.string(fromByteCount: Int64(data.count))
print("formatted result: \(string)")
}
}
With the following results:
There were 28865563 bytes
formatted result: 28.9 MB
You can use count
of Data object and still you can use length
for NSData
If your goal is to print the size to the use, use ByteCountFormatter
import Foundation
let byteCount = 512_000 // replace with data.count
let bcf = ByteCountFormatter()
bcf.allowedUnits = [.useMB] // optional: restricts the units to MB only
bcf.countStyle = .file
let string = bcf.string(fromByteCount: Int64(byteCount))
print(string)
