user(percentEncoded:)

Returns the user component of the URL, optionally removing any percent-encoding.

Declaration

func user(percentEncoded: Bool = true) -> String?

Parameters

  • percentEncoded:

    A Boolean value that indicates whether the URL percent-encodes any unreserved characters. Defaults to true.

Return Value

The system doesn’t allow certain characters in the URL user component, so URL percent-encodes those characters to create a valid URL. Calling this function with percentEncoded = false removes any percent-encoding and returns the unencoded user.

If the URL doesn’t contain a user component according to RFC 3986, this function returns nil.
