Request api REST-GET in iOS Swift
I present a very simple App where a rest service is consumed through the GET method and the information obtained is presented in our main view.
- Note:
This project is built with CocoaPods, for more information go to https://cocoapods.org.
- PodFile structure:
# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '8.0'
target 'ExampleRestApi' do
# Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks
#use_frameworks!
# Pods for ExampleRestApi
use_modular_headers!
pod 'Alamofire', '~> 5.0'
pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 2.6'
pod 'ORStackView', '~> 3.0'
end
Steps
- HelperNetwork.swift: Copy HelperNetwork file, which contains the method to consume the service through Alamofire.
//
// HelperNetwork.swift
// ExampleRestApi
//
// Created by MacBook Pro on 20/11/20.
//
import Foundation
import Alamofire
public var URL_API = "https://icenparty.pythonanywhere.com/icenPartyWeb/api/v1/"
public var GET_STORE = "doStore"
public var METHOD_GET: HTTPMethod = .get
class HelperNetwork{
//Example get json for method GET
func doRequest(urlString : String,
parameters : Parameters,
method : HTTPMethod,
completion: @escaping (AFDataResponse <Any>)->()) {
let url = URL.init(string: URL_API + urlString)
AF.request(url!, method: method, parameters: parameters, encoding: URLEncoding.default, headers: nil).responseJSON {
response in completion(response)
}
}
}
- BaseResponse.swift: Copy BaseResponse file, which contains the models corresponding to the information obtained in the service response.
//
// BaseResponse.swift
// ExampleRestApi
//
// Created by MacBook Pro on 20/11/20.
//
/*
BaseResponse is used to create all the models that
we need for the service response.
*/
import Foundation
public struct Store : Codable{
var pk: Int
var fields: Fields
}
public struct Fields : Codable {
var file_img_home: String
var file_img_2: String
var file_img_3: String
var title: String
var subTitle: String
var description: String
var value: Int
var material: String
var color: String
var sizes_list: String
var brand: String
}
public struct JSONResponseStore: Codable {
var success: Bool
var message: String
var stores : [Store]
}
- ViewController.swift: In our viewController file, call our doRequest method
to which the necessary parameters are passed to obtain the json.
@IBOutlet weak var lblResponse: UILabel!
var helperNetwork = HelperNetwork()
/**
Get info from server for method GET
*/
func getJsonRequestGET(){
//Set text lbl
lblResponse.text = "Consultando información...."
//parameters for get , we need tag typeStore
let parameters: Parameters = [ "typeStore" : "Hombre",]
self.helperNetwork.doRequest(urlString: GET_STORE,
parameters: parameters,
method: METHOD_GET) { (response) -> () in
// do stuff with the result
switch response.result
{
case .success( _):
do {
//Decode data From model JSONResponseStore , can be changed to any model
let JSONData = try JSONDecoder().decode(JSONResponseStore.self, from: response.data!)
if(JSONData.success){
self.lblResponse.text = "Respuesta: \(JSONData.stores)"
}else{
self.lblResponse.text = "Respuesta: \(JSONData.message)"
}
} catch let jsonError {
self.lblResponse.text = "Respuesta: \(jsonError)"
}
case .failure(let error):
self.lblResponse.text = "Respuesta: \(error)"
}
}
}
I remain attentive to any concerns,
Cheers
