An extension to [Alamofire](https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire) which automatically converts JSON response data into swift objects using [ObjectMapper](https://github.com/Hearst-DD/ObjectMapper/).
|
||||
|
||||
# Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Given a URL which returns weather data in the following form:
|
||||
```
|
||||
{
|
||||
"location": "Toronto, Canada",
|
||||
"three_day_forecast": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"conditions": "Partly cloudy",
|
||||
"day" : "Monday",
|
||||
"temperature": 20
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"conditions": "Showers",
|
||||
"day" : "Tuesday",
|
||||
"temperature": 22
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"conditions": "Sunny",
|
||||
"day" : "Wednesday",
|
||||
"temperature": 28
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the extension as the follows:
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
import AlamofireObjectMapper
|
||||
|
||||
let URL = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tristanhimmelman/AlamofireObjectMapper/d8bb95982be8a11a2308e779bb9a9707ebe42ede/sample_json"
|
||||
Alamofire.request(URL).responseObject { (response: DataResponse<WeatherResponse>) in
|
||||
|
||||
let weatherResponse = response.result.value
|
||||
print(weatherResponse?.location)
|
||||
|
||||
if let threeDayForecast = weatherResponse?.threeDayForecast {
|
||||
for forecast in threeDayForecast {
|
||||
print(forecast.day)
|
||||
print(forecast.temperature)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `WeatherResponse` object in the completion handler is a custom object which you define. The only requirement is that the object must conform to [ObjectMapper's](https://github.com/Hearst-DD/ObjectMapper/) `Mappable` protocol. In the above example, the `WeatherResponse` object looks like the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
import ObjectMapper
|
||||
|
||||
class WeatherResponse: Mappable {
|
||||
var location: String?
|
||||
var threeDayForecast: [Forecast]?
|
||||
|
||||
required init?(map: Map){
|
||||
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func mapping(map: Map) {
|
||||
location <- map["location"]
|
||||
threeDayForecast <- map["three_day_forecast"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
class Forecast: Mappable {
|
||||
var day: String?
|
||||
var temperature: Int?
|
||||
var conditions: String?
|
||||
|
||||
required init?(map: Map){
|
||||
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func mapping(map: Map) {
|
||||
day <- map["day"]
|
||||
temperature <- map["temperature"]
|
||||
conditions <- map["conditions"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The extension uses Generics to allow you to create your own custom response objects. Below is the `responseObject` function definition. Just replace `T` in the completionHandler with your custom response object and the extension handles the rest:
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
public func responseObject<T: BaseMappable>(queue: DispatchQueue? = nil, keyPath: String? = nil, mapToObject object: T? = nil, context: MapContext? = nil, completionHandler: @escaping (DataResponse<T>) -> Void) -> Self
|
||||
```
|
||||
The `responseObject` function has 4 optional parameters and a required completionHandler:
|
||||
- `queue`: The queue on which the completion handler is dispatched.
|
||||
- `keyPath`: The key path of the JSON where object mapping should be performed.
|
||||
- `mapToObject`: An object to perform the mapping on to.
|
||||
- `context`: A [context object](https://github.com/Hearst-DD/ObjectMapper/#mapping-context) that is passed to the mapping function.
|
||||
- `completionHandler`: A closure to be executed once the request has finished and the data has been mapped by ObjectMapper.
|
||||
|
||||
### Easy Mapping of Nested Objects
|
||||
|
||||
AlamofireObjectMapper supports dot notation within keys for easy mapping of nested objects. Given the following JSON String:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
"distance" : {
|
||||
"text" : "102 ft",
|
||||
"value" : 31
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
You can access the nested objects as follows:
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
func mapping(map: Map) {
|
||||
distance <- map["distance.value"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
[See complete documentation](https://github.com/Hearst-DD/ObjectMapper#easy-mapping-of-nested-objects)
|
||||
|
||||
### KeyPath
|
||||
|
||||
The `keyPath` variable is used to drill down into a JSON response and only map the data found at that `keyPath`. It supports nested values such as `data.weather` to drill down several levels in a JSON response.
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
let URL = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tristanhimmelman/AlamofireObjectMapper/2ee8f34d21e8febfdefb2b3a403f18a43818d70a/sample_keypath_json"
|
||||
let expectation = expectationWithDescription("\(URL)")
|
||||
|
||||
Alamofire.request(URL).responseObject(keyPath: "data") { (response: DataResponse<WeatherResponse>) in
|
||||
expectation.fulfill()
|
||||
|
||||
let weatherResponse = response.result.value
|
||||
print(weatherResponse?.location)
|
||||
|
||||
if let threeDayForecast = weatherResponse?.threeDayForecast {
|
||||
for forecast in threeDayForecast {
|
||||
print(forecast.day)
|
||||
print(forecast.temperature)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Array Responses
|
||||
If you have an endpoint that returns data in `Array` form you can map it with the following function:
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
public func responseArray<T: Mappable>(queue queue: dispatch_queue_t? = nil, keyPath: String? = nil, completionHandler: DataResponse<[T]> -> Void) -> Self
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if your endpoint returns the following:
|
||||
```
|
||||
[
|
||||
{
|
||||
"conditions": "Partly cloudy",
|
||||
"day" : "Monday",
|
||||
"temperature": 20
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"conditions": "Showers",
|
||||
"day" : "Tuesday",
|
||||
"temperature": 22
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"conditions": "Sunny",
|
||||
"day" : "Wednesday",
|
||||
"temperature": 28
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
You can request and map it as follows:
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
let URL = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tristanhimmelman/AlamofireObjectMapper/f583be1121dbc5e9b0381b3017718a70c31054f7/sample_array_json"
|
||||
Alamofire.request(URL).responseArray { (response: DataResponse<[Forecast]>) in
|
||||
|
||||
let forecastArray = response.result.value
|
||||
|
||||
if let forecastArray = forecastArray {
|
||||
for forecast in forecastArray {
|
||||
print(forecast.day)
|
||||
print(forecast.temperature)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Installation
|
||||
AlamofireObjectMapper can be added to your project using [CocoaPods](https://cocoapods.org/) by adding the following line to your Podfile:
|
||||
```
|
||||
pod 'AlamofireObjectMapper', '~> 5.2'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using [Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage) you can add a dependency on AlamofireObjectMapper by adding it to your Cartfile:
|
||||
```
|
||||
github "tristanhimmelman/AlamofireObjectMapper" ~> 5.2
|
||||
```
