Alamofire send Array of Dictionaries in a parameter

Question

I have a POST API in which I send multiple parameters, one of those parameters has to be an array of dictionaries.

let arr = [
    [
        "id" : "1",
        "price" : "10"
    ],
    [
        "id" : "2",
        "price" : "20"
    ]
]
let params : Parameters = [

    "param1" : "anyvalue1",

    "param2" : "anyvalue2",

    "param3" : arr,

    ]

When I use these parameters in Alamofire Request and hit the API, print(res.result.value) always returns unknown. Can anyone help me with this. Following is the way of requesting the API

Alamofire.request(url, method:.post, parameters: params).responseJSON{(res) in print(res.result.value) //always shows 'unknown' as output }

Have you inspected the request, to see if your data is sent with the request? — rodskagg, Feb 08 '18 at 09:09
THank you @Rocky , worked like a charm. had to add `encoding: JSONEncoding.default` — Ahsan Ebrahim Khatri, Feb 08 '18 at 09:43

Try to make params a Dic of [String :Any ] like that :

let params : [String:Any] = [

    "param1" : "anyvalue1",

    "param2" : "anyvalue2",

    "param3" : arr,

    ]

Alamofire's Parameters type is a typealias for [String:Any], so this really doesn't change anything – rodskagg Feb 08 '18 at 09:12

got the problem solved. had to use `encoding: JSONEncoding.default` – Ahsan Ebrahim Khatri Feb 08 '18 at 09:44
Alamofire uses defualt **encoding: JSONEncoding.default** there's no need to set in request – Enea Dume Feb 08 '18 at 14:09
