Swift Box: Delete Folder

Back to Index

Move a folder to the trash. The recursive parameter must be included in order to delete folders that aren't empty. This example deletes the folder w/ id = 47885473705. An empty 204 response will be returned upon successful deletion. An error is thrown if the folder is not empty and the ‘recursive’ parameter is not included.

Swift Example

func chilkatTest() {
    let rest = CkoRest()
    var success: Bool

    //  URL: https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/47885473705?recursive=true
    var bTls: Bool = true
    var port: Int = 443
    var bAutoReconnect: Bool = true
    success = rest.Connect("api.box.com", port: port, tls: bTls, autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect)
    if success != true {
        print("ConnectFailReason: \(rest.ConnectFailReason.intValue)")
        print("\(rest.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    rest.AddHeader("Authorization", value: "Bearer BOX_ACCESS_TOKEN")

    let sbResponseBody = CkoStringBuilder()
    success = rest.FullRequestNoBodySb("DELETE", uriPath: "/2.0/folders/47885473705?recursive=true", sb: sbResponseBody)
    if success != true {
        print("\(rest.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }
