URLComponents init fails

Question

I'm trying to create an URLComponents object so I can extract parameters values from a string. I have the string topic_id12&lessong_id=45:

let dataString = "topic_id12&lessong_id=45"
guard let urlComponents = URLComponents(string: "https://somedomain.com/\(dataString)/") else return { nil }

However the init fails. Any ideas what I'm missing here? Thanks

I don't know what you mean by fail (it does not return nil). What is the expected result for your URL ? the example above would result in [https://somedomain.com/topic_id12&lessong_id=45/](https://somedomain.com/topic_id12&lessong_id=45/) — Leo Dabus, Dec 27 '20 at 13:23

You can safely remove guard and else return { nil } part from your code.

This is wrong since the init is declared as optional – Joakim Danielson Dec 28 '20 at 12:43
