How to load local html into UIWebView

Question

I am able to load up an external URL in a UIWebView like so:

let url = NSURL(string: "http://www.google.com")
let request = NSURLRequest(URL: url)
webView.loadRequest(request)

but how do I load a local html file?

The answer in this solution looked promising but Xcode says NSString.stringWithContentsOfFile() is deprecated.

It is. Show how you've tried to implement it so we can help fill in the gaps. — Mick MacCallum

You can do essentially what you're doing now, just use NSBundle to get a URL for your local file, like this:

if let url = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("index", withExtension: "html") {
    webView.loadRequest(NSURLRequest(URL: url))
}

Thanks @Nate Cook. Here is the update to Swift 3

    if let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "about", withExtension: "html") {
        webView.loadRequest(NSURLRequest(url: url) as URLRequest)
    }
