I'm trying to make a request to a local host api with Swift. However, JSON data from the api isn't being printed when I run my code. Does Swift/Xcode even allow me to make a url request to a local host api on a specific port? There are no errors showing up in the debug console, so I'm assuming there isn't a problem with my api struct. I'm new to programming so I don't really understand why it's not printing anything in the output console.
My code:
class ShoeViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
// Hit API Endpoint
let urlString = "http://localhost:3000/search/:Jordan 1 Retro High Dior"
let url = URL(string: urlString)
guard url != nil else {
return
}
let session = URLSession.shared
let dataTask = session.dataTask(with: url!) { (data, response, error) in
// Check for errors
if error == nil && data != nil {
//Parse JSON
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
do {
let sneaker = try decoder.decode(sneakerInfo.self, from: data!)
print(sneaker)
}
catch {
print("Error in JSON parsing.")
}
}
}
//Make API call
dataTask.resume()
}
}
API struct:
struct sneakerInfo: Decodable {
var lowestResellPrice:[Int]?
var shoeName:String = ""
var styleID:String = ""
var colorway:String?
var retailPrice:Int?
var thumbnail:String?
var description: String?
}
JSON data in Rested app:
