respsonse Handling problem in ios, alamofire - ios

I try to make an API call with alamofire. when I print response.value like this print(response.value ?? "") I get correct text in Xcode console, but I get an error this line comletionHanlder(response.value as! [Order]).
error message is Could not cast value of type '__NSDictionaryI' (0x7f81db0f3070) to 'AppName.Order' (0x10db3fb80)
static func getOrders( comletionHanlder: #escaping ([Order]) -> Void){
let headers : HTTPHeaders = ["Authorization" : "Bearer \(User.current!.accessToken)",
"Lang" : "KA"]
let urlStr = Constants.Api.baseUrl + Constants.Api.Routes.api + Constants.Api.Routes.doctorBooking + Constants.Api.Routes.getBookings
AF.request(urlStr,
method: .post,
encoding: JSONEncoding.default,
headers: headers).responseJSON{ response in
if response.response?.statusCode == 400 {
comletionHanlder([])
} else {
if response.response?.statusCode == 200 {
print(response.value ?? "")
comletionHanlder(response.value as! [Order])
}
}
}
;
struct Order: Codable {
let title: String
let details: String
let BookingId: Int
}
when I print response.value, I got this message
(
{
title = "title"
details = "details"
BookingId = 10002
},
{
title = "title1"
details = "details1"
BookingId = 10003
}
)

As stated on the error message, casting the response.value to Order won't work. You should use the JSONDecodable class to decode the response to the desired list of orders like this:
guard let responseData = response.data else { /* do something */ }
do {
let orders = try JSONDecoder().decode([Order].self, from: responseData)
debugPrint(orders)
} catch {
// handle the error
}

How to Handle Empty Response but status code 200

I upload the file to the s3 server, and I use url.
And I'm doing networking using Alamofire.
When I uploaded the file to s3, the status code is 200, but there is no response body.
So, I can't treat Result.
error happend
Alamofire.AFError.ResponseSerializationFailureReason.inputDataNilOrZeroLength
I tried but in this case it did not pass closure so, i cant treat Result..
.request(emptyResponseCodes:[200, 204, 205]) { response in
...
}
func fetchWithEmptyResponse(target: T, completion: escaping((Int?, Error?) -> Void) {
session.request(target)
.responseData { response in
switch response.result {
case .success(_):
completion(200, nil)
case .failure(let err):
completion(nil, err)
}
}
}
target(TargetType) T is
import Foundation
import Alamofire
public protocol TargetType: URLRequestConvertible {
var baseURL: String { get }
var path: String { get }
var method: HTTPMethod { get }
var parameters: RequestParams { get }
var contentType: ContentType { get }
}
enum HTTPHeaderField: String {
case authentication = "Authorization"
case contentType = "Content-Type"
case acceptType = "Accept"
}
public enum ContentType: String {
case json = "Application/json"
case image = "image/jpeg"
}
public enum RequestParams {
case requestPlain
case query(_ parameter: Encodable?)
case body(_ parameter: Encodable?)
case imageDataWithoutPath(_: Data)
}
extension TargetType {
public func asURLRequest() throws -> URLRequest {
let url = try baseURL.asURL()
var urlRequest = try URLRequest(url: url.appendingPathComponent(path), method: method)
urlRequest.setValue(contentType.rawValue, forHTTPHeaderField: HTTPHeaderField.contentType.rawValue)
switch parameters {
case .query(let request):
let params = request?.toDictionary() ?? [:]
let queryParams = params.map { URLQueryItem(name: $0.key, value: "\($0.value)") }
var components = URLComponents(string: url.appendingPathComponent(path).absoluteString)
components?.queryItems = queryParams
urlRequest.url = components?.url
case .body(let request):
let params = request?.toDictionary() ?? [:]
urlRequest.httpBody = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: params, options: [])
case .imageDataWithoutPath(let data):
let reURL = try baseURL.asURL()
urlRequest.url = reURL
urlRequest.httpBody = data
case .requestPlain:
break
}
return urlRequest
}
}
So My Question is
How can I treat Empty Response?
if status code 200, and Empty Response, i wanna handle it and then using #escpaing completionHandler i wanna pass value.
Sorry for my poor English. And Thank you for read
Check inside of parameter key count == 0 or key == nil
example:
{
"status" : "success",
"data" : []
}
now I checked
if status == "success"{
if data.count > 0{
print(data[0])
}
else{
print("Data Empty")
}
}

Getting statusCode other than 200...299 in HTTPURLResponse of URLSession

the following is my APIManager code, I'm using it in all my apps. But sometimes, the guard statement fails in connectToServer function, which means the statusCode of HTTPURLResponse other than 200...299 and the thing here is even after getting statusCode other than 200...299 my record got inserted into DB. I don't know what happens.
I thought that the cause of this behavior is from ServerURL, because I'm using a dev server with IP address http://00.000.0.000/ without security. Once I moved it to domain as https://XXX.XXXXXXXXXX.XXXXX/ it is working fine. Can you help me to figure out this?
And also will it supports for asynchronous calls?

EDIT: My bad I asked completely reverse on statsCode now I modified it.

how to determine the specific 409 error from an AFError?

I have a method that returns a Single<(HTTPURLResponse, Any)> doing a call to a webservice.
This call returns an 409 for multiple reasons and this reason is passed as a JSON in the response.
I know the JSON is in the data attribute of the DataResponse object but I would like to have it in the AFError that I pass when an error occurs. I want to display the specific 409 error message related to the JSON response to the user to allow him understand what happened.
How could I do that ?
I searched for that in Stackoverflow and also on the github of Alamofire but couldn't find any help to my case.
return Single<(HTTPURLResponse, Any)>.create(subscribe: { single in
let request = self.sessionManager.request(completeURL, method: httpMethod, parameters: params, encoding: encoding, headers: headers)
request.validate().responseJSON(completionHandler: { (response) in
let result = response.result
switch result {
case let .success(value): single(.success((response.response!, value)))
case let .failure(error): single(.error(error))
}
})
return Disposables.create { request.cancel() }
})
I'm working with Alamofire 4.9.1
request.validate().responseJSON { (response) in
let statusCode = response.response?.statusCode ?? 0
guard statusCode != 409 else {
if let data = response.data, let errorJson = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: .mutableContainers) as? [String: Any] {
let errorMessage = errorJson["message"] as? String
let customError = CustomError(message: errorMessage)
single(.error(customError))
}
return
}
let result = response.result
switch result {
case let .success(value): single(.success((response.response!, value)))
case let .failure(error): single(.error(error))
}
}
I guess you can achieve your requirement by this way. create a custom Error class to pass the error to completion. dont forget to call completion if errorJson is not serialised.
class CustomError: Error {
var localizedDescription: String { message ?? "" }
var message: String?
init(message: String?) {
self.message = message
}
}

iOS create generic Alamofire request using swift

Recently I have started learning iOS app development using swift so I am new to it. I want to implement rest api call in swift & found that we can achieve this using URLRequest. So I have written generic method to call all type(like get, put, post) of rest api as below.
import Foundation
//import Alamofire
public typealias JSON = [String: Any]
public typealias HTTPHeaders = [String: String];
public enum RequestMethod: String {
case get = "GET"
case post = "POST"
case put = "PUT"
case delete = "DELETE"
}
public enum Result<Value> {
case success(Value)
case failure(Error)
}
public class apiClient{
private var base_url:String = "https://api.testserver.com/"
private func apiRequest(endPoint: String,
method: RequestMethod,
body: JSON? = nil,
token: String? = nil,
completionHandler: #escaping (Data?, URLResponse?, Error?) -> Void) {
let url = URL(string: (base_url.self + endPoint))!
var urlRequest = URLRequest(url: url)
urlRequest.httpMethod = method.rawValue
urlRequest.setValue("application/json; charset=utf-8", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
if let token = token {
urlRequest.setValue("bearer " + token, forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
}
if let body = body {
urlRequest.httpBody = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: body)
}
let session = URLSession(configuration: .default)
let task = session.dataTask(with: urlRequest) { data, response, error in
//NSLog(error)
completionHandler(data, response, error)
}
task.resume()
}
public func sendRequest<T: Decodable>(for: T.Type = T.self,
endPoint: String,
method: RequestMethod,
body: JSON? = nil,
token: String? = nil,
completion: #escaping (Result<T>) -> Void) {
return apiRequest(endPoint: endPoint, method: method, body:body, token: token) { data, response, error in
guard let data = data else {
return completion(.failure(error ?? NSError(domain: "SomeDomain", code: -1, userInfo: nil)))
}
do {
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
try completion(.success(decoder.decode(T.self, from: data)))
} catch let decodingError {
completion(.failure(decodingError))
}
}
}
}
this is how I call it method from controller
public func getProfile(userId :Int, objToken:String) -> Void {
let objApi = apiClient()
objApi.sendRequest(for: ProfileDetails.self,
endPoint:"api/user/profile/\(userId)",
method: .get,
token: objToken,
completion:
{(userResult: Result<ProfileDetails>) -> Void in
switch userResult
{
case .success(let value):
if value.respCode == "01" {
print(value.profile)
do {
//... ddo some taks like store response in local db or else
} catch let error as NSError {
// handle error
print(error)
}
}
else {
//do some task
}
break
case .failure(let error):
print(error)
break
}
})
}
I am decoding server response in below model
class ProfileDetails : Response, Decodable {
var appUpdate : AppUpdate?
var profile : Profile?
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case profile = "profile"
case respCode = "resp_code"
case respMsg = "resp_msg"
}
public required convenience init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
self.init()
let values = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
self.profile = try values.decodeIfPresent(Profile.self, forKey: .profile)
self.respCode = try values.decodeIfPresent(String.self, forKey: .respCode)!
self.respMsg = try values.decodeIfPresent(String.self, forKey: .respMsg)
}
}
This code is not able to handle error response like 401, 404 etc from server. So what I am looking for, is to convert this api (URLRequest)request to generic Alamofire request with error handling like 401, 404 etc. I have install Alamofire pods. Is there anyone who has developed generic Alamofire request method with decoding & error handling?
Thanks in advance :)
Git link: https://github.com/sahilmanchanda2/wrapper-class-for-alamofire
Here is my version(Using Alamofire 5.0.2):
import Foundation
import Alamofire
class NetworkCall : NSObject{
enum services :String{
case posts = "posts"
}
var parameters = Parameters()
var headers = HTTPHeaders()
var method: HTTPMethod!
var url :String! = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/"
var encoding: ParameterEncoding! = JSONEncoding.default
init(data: [String:Any],headers: [String:String] = [:],url :String?,service :services? = nil, method: HTTPMethod = .post, isJSONRequest: Bool = true){
super.init()
data.forEach{parameters.updateValue($0.value, forKey: $0.key)}
headers.forEach({self.headers.add(name: $0.key, value: $0.value)})
if url == nil, service != nil{
self.url += service!.rawValue
}else{
self.url = url
}
if !isJSONRequest{
encoding = URLEncoding.default
}
self.method = method
print("Service: \(service?.rawValue ?? self.url ?? "") \n data: \(parameters)")
}
func executeQuery<T>(completion: #escaping (Result<T, Error>) -> Void) where T: Codable {
AF.request(url,method: method,parameters: parameters,encoding: encoding, headers: headers).responseData(completionHandler: {response in
switch response.result{
case .success(let res):
if let code = response.response?.statusCode{
switch code {
case 200...299:
do {
completion(.success(try JSONDecoder().decode(T.self, from: res)))
} catch let error {
print(String(data: res, encoding: .utf8) ?? "nothing received")
completion(.failure(error))
}
default:
let error = NSError(domain: response.debugDescription, code: code, userInfo: response.response?.allHeaderFields as? [String: Any])
completion(.failure(error))
}
}
case .failure(let error):
completion(.failure(error))
}
})
}
}
The above class uses latest Alamofire version (as of now Feb 2020), This class covers almost every HTTP Method with option to send data in Application/JSON format or normal. With this class you get a lot of flexibility and it automatically converts response to your Swift Object.
Look at the init method of this class it has:
data: [String,Any] = In this you will put your form data.
headers: [String:String] = In this you can send custom headers that you want to send along with the request
url = Here you can specify full url, you can leave it blank if you already have defined baseurl in Class. it comes handy when you want to consume a REST service provided by a third party. Note: if you are filling the url then you should the next parameter service should be nil
service: services = It's an enum defined in the NetworkClass itself. these serves as endPoints. Look in the init method, if the url is nil but the service is not nil then it will append at the end of base url to make a full URL, example will be provided.
method: HTTPMethod = here you can specify which HTTP Method the request should use.
isJSONRequest = set to true by default. if you want to send normal request set it to false.
In the init method you can also specify common data or headers that you want to send with every request e.g. your application version number, iOS Version etc
Now Look at the execute method: it's a generic function which will return swift object of your choice if the response is success. It will print the response in string in case it fails to convert response to your swift object. if the response code doesn't fall under range 200-299 then it will be a failure and give you full debug description for detailed information.
Usage:
say we have following struct:
struct Post: Codable{
let userId: Int
let id: Int
let title: String
let body: String
}
Note the base url defined in NetworkClass https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/
Example 1: Sending HTTP Post with content type Application/JSON
let body: [String : Any] = ["title": "foo",
"body": "bar",
"userId": 1]
NetworkCall(data: body, url: nil, service: .posts, method: .post).executeQuery(){
(result: Result<Post,Error>) in
switch result{
case .success(let post):
print(post)
case .failure(let error):
print(error)
}
}
output:
Service: posts
data: ["userId": 1, "body": "bar", "title": "foo"]
Post(userId: 1, id: 101, title: "foo", body: "bar")
HTTP 400 Request
NetworkCall(data: ["email":"peter#klaven"], url: "https://reqres.in/api/login", method: .post, isJSONRequest: false).executeQuery(){
(result: Result) in
switch result{
case .success(let post):
print(post)
case .failure(let error):
print(error)
}
}
output:

typeMismatch(Swift.String, Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [], debugDescription: "Expected to decode String but found a dictionary instead.", underlyingError: nil))
In the last example you can see typeMismatch at the end, I tried to pass [String:Any] in the executeQuery but since the Any doesn't confirm to encodable I had to use String.
I use EVReflection with alamofire and i think this is one of the best combination to work with.
Use URLRequestConvertible protocol of Alamofire.
This is what i follow.
Just for reference purpose.
Make enum for your all endpoint and confirm that enum to URLRequestConvertible.
enum Router: URLRequestConvertible {
//your all endpoint
static var authToken = ""
case login([String:Any])
var route: Route {
switch self {
case .Login(let dict):
return Route(endPoint: "api/addimagedata", httpMethod: .post)
}
}
func asURLRequest() throws -> URLRequest {
var requestUrl = EnvironmentVariables.baseURL
if let queryparams = route.queryParameters {
requestUrl.appendQueryParameters(queryparams)
}
var mutableURLRequest = URLRequest(url: requestUrl.appendingPathComponent(route.endPath))
mutableURLRequest.httpMethod = route.method.rawValue
//FIXME:- Change the Userdefault Key
if Router.authToken.isEmpty, let token = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "Key"), !token.isEmpty {
Router.authToken = token
}
//FIXME:- Set Mutable Request Accordingly
mutableURLRequest.setValue("Bearer \(Router.authToken)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
mutableURLRequest.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
mutableURLRequest.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
if route.method == .get {
return try Alamofire.URLEncoding.default.encode(mutableURLRequest, with: route.parameters)
}
return try Alamofire.JSONEncoding.default.encode(mutableURLRequest, with: route.parameters)
}
}
Make One Structure as per your requirement.
struct Route {
let endPath: String
let method: Alamofire.HTTPMethod
var parameters: Parameters?
var queryParameters : [String:String]?
var encoding: Alamofire.ParameterEncoding {
switch method {
case .post, .put, .patch, .delete:
return JSONEncoding()
default:
return URLEncoding()
}
}
}
Now make one generic function that accept URLRequestConvertible and return your model in closure. Something like this.
func GenericApiCallForObject<T : URLRequestConvertible, M : EVObject>(router : T, showHud : Bool = true ,responseModel : #escaping (M) -> ()) {
view.endEditing(true)
if !isConnectedToInternet {
showNetworkError()
return
}
if showhud ? showHud() : ()
Alamofire.request(router).responseObject { (response: DataResponse<M>) in
self.HandleResponseWithErrorForObject(response: response) { (isSuccess) in
if isSuccess {
if let value = response.result.value {
responseModel(value)
}
}
})
}
}
Now make one generic function that accept your response and handle the error for you. Something like this.
func HandleResponseWithErrorForObject<M : EVObject>(response : DataResponse<M>, isSuccess : #escaping (Bool) -> ()) {
print(response)
hideHud()
switch response.response?.statusCode ?? 0 {
case 200...299:
isSuccess(true)
case 401:
isSuccess(false)
showSessionTimeOutError()
case -1005,-1001,-1003:
break
default:
isSuccess(false)
// Parse your response and show error in some way.
}
}
Now Finally, how to use it right??! Indeed now its very simple just two lines of code and you are good to go.
GenericApiCallForObject(router: Router.Login(["xyz":"xyz"])) { (response : GeneralModel) in
print(response)
}
Please note that this will only work if you are getting object in response. If there is an array or string you have to make separate function for that and procedure for that is same as above. You will only get response if there is a success otherwise HandleResponseWithErrorForObject function will automatically handle it for you. Also, some variables might be missing in above explanation.
I'm sharing a specific part for error handling on my REST api.
It will decode inside the following block and probably you can use it for reference.
As you can see that's very simple getting a code and translate into an enumeration.
Alamofire allow that but it depends on your version of library.
Sometimes depends your REST api how handle errors internally, they can not throw a code for example if its Java backend, they can encapsulate the exceptions.
public enum RESTError: Error {
case BadRequest(String, [String]?)
case InternalError(String)
case UnAuthorized(String, [String]?)
case NotFound(String)
case Success
/// <#Description#>
///
/// - Parameters:
/// - code: <#code description#>
/// - message: <#message description#>
/// - globalErrors: <#globalErrors description#>
/// - Returns: <#return value description#>
public static func fromCode(code: Int, message: String, globalErrors: [String]? = nil) -> RESTError {
switch code {
case 400: return RESTError.BadRequest(message, globalErrors)
case 401: return RESTError.UnAuthorized(message, globalErrors)
case 500: return RESTError.InternalError(message)
case 404: return RESTError.NotFound(message)
default: break
}
return RESTError.Success
}
}
Alamofire.request(urlRequest)
.validate(statusCode: 200...500)
.responseJSON(completionHandler: { (response: (DataResponse<Any>)) in
if let statusCode = response.response?.statusCode {
if statusCode != 200 {
// call handler errors function with specific message
if let arrayDictionary = response.result.value as? Dictionary<String,AnyObject> {
var error: RESTError?
if let code = arrayDictionary["status"] as? Int {
let message = arrayDictionary["message"] as! String
let globalErrors = arrayDictionary["globalErrors"] as? [String]
error = RESTError.fromCode(code: code, message: message, globalErrors: globalErrors)
} else {
// Build from error message without code.
let message = arrayDictionary["error_description"] as! String
let codeMsg = arrayDictionary["error"] as! String
let globalErrors = arrayDictionary["globalErrors"] as? [String]
if codeMsg == "invalid_token" && message.starts(with: "Access token expired") {
return
} else {
error = RESTError.fromCode(code: codeMsg, message: message, globalErrors: globalErrors)
}
}
if let _ = error {
errorHandler(error!)
} else {
errorHandler(RESTError.InternalError("Internal API rest error."))
}
} else {
errorHandler(RESTError.fromCode(code: statusCode, message: ""))
}
} else {
if let arrayDictionary = response.result.value as? Dictionary<String,AnyObject> {
handler(arrayDictionary)
}
}
} else {
if let error = response.error {
errorHandler(RESTError.InternalError(error.localizedDescription))
}
}
})
You probably need this function that uses the alamofilre Session Manager to perform requests. You can also set the cookies ant headers etc.. to this session manager so that you will have them to the rest of your requests.
import Alamofire
class NetworkManager : NSObject {
internal typealias SuccessCompletion = (Int?, Any?) -> Void?
internal typealias FailCompletion = (Int?, Error, Any?) -> Void?
var sessionManager : SessionManager!
var request : Request?
var headers : HTTPHeaders! = [:]
override init() {
let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.default
configuration.httpAdditionalHeaders = SessionManager.defaultHTTPHeaders
sessionManager = SessionManager(configuration: configuration)
}
func sendRequest(url: String?, method: String, parameters: [String: Any], success: SuccessCompletion?, fail: FailCompletion?){
var encoding : ParameterEncoding!
if HTTPMethod(rawValue: method) == HTTPMethod.post {
encoding = JSONEncoding.default
} else {
encoding = URLEncoding.default
}
request = sessionManager.request(url ?? "", method: HTTPMethod(rawValue: method)!, parameters: parameters, encoding: encoding, headers: headers)
.validate()
.responseData{response in
switch (response.result) {
case .success:
let statusCode = response.response?.statusCode
success?(statusCode, response.result.value)
self.request = nil
break
case .failure(let error):
let statusCode = response.response?.statusCode
fail?(statusCode, error, response.data)
self.request = nil
break
}
}
}
}
EDIT
To add Headers you can just add a function like this..
func updateJSONHeader(token: String) {
self.clearHeaders()
headers["AuthorizationToken"] = "\(token)"
}
For cookie
func setCookie(_ cookie : HTTPCookie?){
if let cookie = cookie {
HTTPCookieStorage.shared.setCookie(cookie)
}
}
Clear headers
func clearHeaders(){
headers = [:]
}
And keep in mind that it's a singleton class so whenever you change anything unless your server make some changes you still have your configuration, ex. the headers
The best way is create a custom validate method using DataRequest extension:
func customValidate() -> Self {
return self.validate { _, response, data -> Request.ValidationResult in
guard (400...599) ~= response.statusCode else { return .success(()) }
guard let data = data else { return .failure(MyAppGeneralError.generalResponseError) }
guard let errorResponse = try? JSONDecoder().decode(MyAppResponseError.self, from: data) else {
return .failure(MyAppGeneralError.generalResponseError)
}
if response.statusCode == 401 {
return .failure(MyAppGeneralError.unauthorizedAccessError(errorResponse))
}
return .failure(MyAppGeneralError.responseError(errorResponse))
}
}
With a client with a generic function where the generic is decodable using our custom validate.
class APIClient {
var session: Session
init(session: Session = Session.default) {
self.session = session
}
#discardableResult
func performRequest<T: Decodable>(request: URLRequestConvertible,
decoder: JSONDecoder = JSONDecoder(),
completion: #escaping (Result<T, AFError>) -> Void) -> DataRequest {
return AF.request(request).customValidate().responseDecodable(decoder: decoder, completionHandler: { (response: DataResponse<T, AFError>) in
completion(response.result)
})
}
func getProfile(userID: Int, _ completion: #escaping (Result<UserToken, AFError>) -> Void) {
performRequest(request: APIRouter.profile(userID: userID), completion: completion)
}
}
using a router a:
enum APIRouter: URLRequestConvertible {
case profile(userId :Int)
static let baseURLString = "https://myserver.com"
var method: HTTPMethod {
switch self {
case .profile:
return .get
}
}
var path: String {
switch self {
case .profile(let userID):
return "profile/\(userID)"
}
}
var body: Parameters {
return [:]
}
// MARK: URLRequestConvertible
func asURLRequest() throws -> URLRequest {
let url = try APIRouter.baseURLString.asURL()
var urlRequest = URLRequest(url: url.appendingPathComponent(path))
urlRequest.httpMethod = method.rawValue
// Common Headers
urlRequest.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
// Encode body
urlRequest = try JSONEncoding.default.encode(urlRequest, with: body)
return urlRequest
}
}
import Foundation
import UIKit
import Alamofire
import SwiftyJSON
class AFWrapper: NSObject {

//TODO :-

func requestGETURL(_ strURL: String, success:#escaping (JSON) -> Void, failure:#escaping (Error) -> Void)

//let title = resJson["title"].string

success(resJson)
}
if responseObject.result.isFailure {
let error : Error = responseObject.result.error!
failure(error)
}
}
}

just part of code, but try
let req = Alamofire.request(url, method: .get, parameters: nil)
then you can handle response code by using
req.response?.statusCode
and handle response by for example
req.responseString(completionHandler: <#T##(DataResponse<String>) -> Void#>)
or
req.responseJSON(completionHandler: <#T##(DataResponse<Any>) -> Void#>)
you have good example here

Alamofire parse JSON msg and status

I want to display the msg on UITextView using the status, but it display "Success: 200":
{ "status" : 500, "msg" : "\"Information is invalid\"" }
I'm using Swift4 in XCode10, here is my code:
import UIKit
import Alamofire
import SwiftyJSON
class VerifyAccount: UIViewController {
let verify_url = "http://192.168.43.222:3000/mobile/account_verification"
#IBOutlet weak var msgHandler: UITextView!
func postData(url: String , parameters: [String : String]) {
Alamofire.request(url, method: .post, parameters: parameters).responseJSON {
response in
if response.result.isSuccess {
let postJSON : JSON = JSON(response.result.value!)
print(postJSON)
if let status = response.response?.statusCode {
switch(status) {
case 200:
self.msgHandler.text = ("Success: \(status)")
case 500:
self.msgHandler.text = ("Invalid: \(status)")
default:
}
}
} else {
print("Error: \(String(describing: response.result.error))")
}
}
}
#IBAction func verifyBtn(_ sender: Any) {
let compare : [String : String] = ["id" : id , "fname" : fname , "lname" : lname]
postData(url: verify_url , parameters : compare)
}
}
You need to change the way how you handling your response. I've updated your code, it should work.
import UIKit
import Alamofire
import SwiftyJSON
class VerifyAccount: UIViewController {
let verify_url = "http://192.168.43.222:3000/mobile/account_verification"
#IBOutlet weak var msgHandler: UITextView!
func postData(url: String , parameters: [String : String]) {
Alamofire.request(url, method: .post, parameters: parameters).responseJSON {
response in
switch response.result {
case .success:
print("server response: \(response.value!)")
do {
if var json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: response.data!, options: []) as? [String:Any] {
// Get value by key
var message = "";
if let msg = json["msg"] as? String
{
message = msg; // your message is here, you can do anything with it, whatever you want.
}
var status = 0;
if let st = json["status"] as? Int
{
status = st;
}
}
} catch let error as NSError {
}
break
case .failure(let error):
self.delegate.APIOnError(requestCode: requestCode);
print("server error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
}
You can get a value safely (whether it's a String, Int, etc...) from your JSON object like so:
let status = postJSON["status"].int ?? 0
let message = postJSON["msg"].string ?? "No Message"
The (??) double question mark gives you the ability to provide a default value in case your parsing fails to get an Int or String
Parse your response data like
guard data _ = response.result.value as? [String: Any] else {
print("Error: \(String(describing: response.result.error))")
return
}
let message = data["msg"] as? String ?? "Unable to parse message"
if let statusCode = data["status"] as? Int {
switch statusCode {
case 200: self.msgHandler.text = ("Success: \(message)")
case 500: self.msgHandler.text = ("Invalid: \(message)")
default:self.msgHandler.text = ("Invalid status code")
}
}
You were using wrong data to parse. You can try this:
if let status = response.response?.statusCode, let message = postJSON['msg'] {
switch(status) {
case 200:
self.msgHandler.text = ("Success: \(message)")
case 500:
self.msgHandler.text = ("Invalid: \(message)")
default:
}
}
