API not displaying data in Swift for iOS - ios

Question

Currently not getting data from API to display.
Current code:
import SwiftUI
struct Response: Decodable {
var content: [Result]
}
struct Result : Decodable {
var code: String
var fire: String
var name: String
var police: String
var medical: String
}
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var content = [Result]()
var body: some View {
List(content, id: \.code) { item in
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
Text(item.name)
.font(.headline)
Text(item.medical)
}
}
.onAppear(perform: loadData)
}
func loadData() {
let url = URL(string: "https://emergency-phone-numbers.herokuapp.com/country/gb")!
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { data, response, error in
if let error = error { print(error); return }
do {
let decodedResponse = try JSONDecoder().decode(Response.self, from: data!)
// we have good data – go back to the main thread
DispatchQueue.main.async {
// update our UI
self.content = decodedResponse.content
}
} catch {
print(error)
}
}.resume()
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
}
}
Current error:
2021-01-21 19:21:07.094582+0000 iTunes API[39924:1098972] [] nw_protocol_get_quic_image_block_invoke dlopen libquic failed
keyNotFound(CodingKeys(stringValue: "content", intValue: nil), Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [], debugDescription: "No value associated with key CodingKeys(stringValue: "content", intValue: nil) ("content").", underlyingError: nil))
Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Please note that the content from https://emergency-phone-numbers.herokuapp.com/country/gb is:
{"code":"GB","fire":"999","police":"999","name":"United Kingdom","medical":"999"}
The problem is that there's no content on the response that you're getting, so the JSONDecoder is failing to parse the response. It seems the response you get contains content that fits on Result, so if you change your code to parse that, it works fine:
import SwiftUI
struct Response: Decodable {
var content: [Result]
}
struct Result : Decodable {
var code: String
var fire: String
var name: String
var police: String
var medical: String
}
struct ContentView: View {
#State private var content = [Result]()
var body: some View {
List(content, id: \.code) { item in
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
Text(item.name)
.font(.headline)
Text(item.medical)
}
}
.onAppear(perform: loadData)
}
func loadData() {
let url = URL(string: "https://emergency-phone-numbers.herokuapp.com/country/gb")!
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { data, response, error in
if let error = error { print(error); return }
do {
let decodedResponse = try JSONDecoder().decode(Result.self, from: data!)
// we have good data – go back to the main thread
DispatchQueue.main.async {
// update our UI
self.content = [decodedResponse]
}
} catch {
print(error)
}
}.resume()
}
}
I guess, in the end, you probably wanted a collection of Results to fit on the content, so you might need to change something on that API of yours to return that collection, then your code would work fine.
