How to get user path with NSURL

Question

I'm trying to find the Swift equivalent of ~/.

So, I want to create an NSURL with the user path. I've looked at NSURLComponents, but I can't see anything there. The user var seems only to apply to existing URLs. I'm sure this is pretty basic, but haven't found anything.

Do you mean the documents folder or the folder named after the user? — Rashwan L, Jun 03 '17 at 10:04
The folder named after the user. I can use `appendingPathComponents` to add Desktop, Documents or other sub-folders. — benwiggy, Jun 03 '17 at 10:26

To get the home directory in Swift you just need to use the following:

let homeDirectory = NSHomeDirectory()

This will print out:

/Users/FOLDER_NAMED_AFTER_USER
