Swift3 : How to load html file to WKWebview from document directory

Question

Can anyone explain how to load local html file to WKWebView?

I tried with the below code works well in simulator but not on device

 let path = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(FileManager.SearchPathDirectory.documentDirectory, FileManager.SearchPathDomainMask.userDomainMask, true)
 let documentDirectoryPath: String = path[0]
 let fileManager = FileManager()

 let destinationURLForFile = URL(fileURLWithPath: documentDirectoryPath + "/" + "\(NameF.fileName)/\(NameF.Languages)/page_\(i + 1 ).html")
 print("D2\(destinationURLForFile)")
 let request = NSURLRequest(url: destinationURLForFile)
 webView!.load(request as URLRequest)

Any suggestions would be helpful!

@Honsy Thank you but this is to load file from project navigator. Am looking for files to load from local storage(document directory) — Raghuram, Apr 13 '17 at 05:08

did you try to laoding the HTML from webview.loadHTMLString(string: String, baseURL: URL) — Neha, Apr 13 '17 at 05:20
you can try this var webview: UIWebView! func loadFileFromLocal(){ let htmlFile = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "privacy", ofType: "html") let content = try! NSString(contentsOfFile: htmlFile!, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue) let baseUrl = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: htmlFile!) webview.loadHTMLString(content as String, baseURL: baseUrl as URL) } — Neha, Apr 13 '17 at 05:30

Thank you for your response guys and for who tried my question.Finally found the answer by opening the local file and read its content and then send that string into a WKWebview

And the piece of code is

 do{
            let fileName =  try String(contentsOf: destinationURLForFile)
            print("fileName is equal to\(fileName)")
            webView.loadHTMLString(fileName, baseURL: destinationURLForFile)


        }catch{

        }
