Always I am indebted.
I'm currently using Moya and trying to decode the response returned from the API.
However, when decoding, the registered_at key cannot be decoded properly.
The returned registered_at value is in yyyy-MM-dd format, for example "2021-07-26".
The error that is occurring is
▿ Moya Error
▿ objectMapping: 2 elements
▿ .0: DecodingError
▿ typeMismatch: 2 elements
--.0: Swift.Double
▿ .1: Context
▿ codingPath: 1 element
--0: CodingKeys (stringValue: "registered_at", intValue: nil)
--debugDescription: "Expected to decode Double but found a string / data instead."
--undergroundError: nil
▿ .1: Status Code: 200, Data Length: 137
is
The json passed as a response is below.
{
"message": "patience has been registered",
"id": 11,
"money": 200,
"memo": "test",
"category_title": "Test",
"registered_at": "2021-08-17"
}
What I tried
I tried to specify that Moya should handle'yyyy-MM-dd' in the dateDecodingStrategy, which determines how to decode the Date type, but the error continued to appear.

Recheck your JSON and validate it
I recommend decoding with .convertFromSnakecase to save time especially when your json contains much more data
Decode it as a string and convert to date later. This would simplify your decoding process and according to the json you posted, the registeredAt is a String not Date as far as I can tell. Either way decoding then converting is typically safer. And often results in less code with more options for added features/data morphing in the future.
Swift 4 introduced support for native JSON encoding and decoding via the Decodable protocol. How do I use custom keys for this?
E.g., say I have a struct
struct Address:Codable {
var street:String
var zip:String
var city:String
var state:String
}
I can encode this to JSON.
let address = Address(street: "Apple Bay Street", zip: "94608", city: "Emeryville", state: "California")
if let encoded = try? encoder.encode(address) {
if let json = String(data: encoded, encoding: .utf8) {
// Print JSON String
print(json)
// JSON string is
{ "state":"California",
"street":"Apple Bay Street",
"zip":"94608",
"city":"Emeryville"
}
}
}
I can encode this back to an object.
let newAddress: Address = try decoder.decode(Address.self, from: encoded)
But If I had a json object that was
{
"state":"California",
"street":"Apple Bay Street",
"zip_code":"94608",
"city":"Emeryville"
}
How would I tell the decoder on Address that zip_code maps to zip? I believe you use the new CodingKey protocol, but I can't figure out how to use this.
Manually customising coding keys
In your example, you're getting an auto-generated conformance to Codable as all your properties also conform to Codable. This conformance automatically creates a key type that simply corresponds to the property names – which is then used in order to encode to/decode from a single keyed container.
However one really neat feature of this auto-generated conformance is that if you define a nested enum in your type called "CodingKeys" (or use a typealias with this name) that conforms to the CodingKey protocol – Swift will automatically use this as the key type. This therefore allows you to easily customise the keys that your properties are encoded/decoded with.
So what this means is you can just say:
struct Address : Codable {
var street: String
var zip: String
var city: String
var state: String
private enum CodingKeys : String, CodingKey {
case street, zip = "zip_code", city, state
}
}
The enum case names need to match the property names, and the raw values of these cases need to match the keys that you're encoding to/decoding from (unless specified otherwise, the raw values of a String enumeration will the same as the case names). Therefore, the zip property will now be encoded/decoded using the key "zip_code".
The exact rules for the auto-generated Encodable/Decodable conformance are detailed by the evolution proposal (emphasis mine):
In addition to automatic CodingKey requirement synthesis for
enums, Encodable & Decodable requirements can be automatically
synthesized for certain types as well:
Types conforming to Encodable whose properties are all Encodable get an automatically generated String-backed CodingKey enum mapping
properties to case names. Similarly for Decodable types whose
properties are all Decodable
Types falling into (1) — and types which manually provide a CodingKey enum (named CodingKeys, directly, or via a typealias) whose
cases map 1-to-1 to Encodable/Decodable properties by name — get
automatic synthesis of init(from:) and encode(to:) as appropriate,
using those properties and keys
Types which fall into neither (1) nor (2) will have to provide a custom key type if needed and provide their own init(from:) and
encode(to:), as appropriate
Example encoding:
import Foundation
let address = Address(street: "Apple Bay Street", zip: "94608",
city: "Emeryville", state: "California")
do {
let encoded = try JSONEncoder().encode(address)
print(String(decoding: encoded, as: UTF8.self))
} catch {
print(error)
}
//{"state":"California","street":"Apple Bay Street","zip_code":"94608","city":"Emeryville"}
Example decoding:
// using the """ multi-line string literal here, as introduced in SE-0168,
// to avoid escaping the quotation marks
let jsonString = """
{"state":"California","street":"Apple Bay Street","zip_code":"94608","city":"Emeryville"}
"""
do {
let decoded = try JSONDecoder().decode(Address.self, from: Data(jsonString.utf8))
print(decoded)
} catch {
print(error)
}
// Address(street: "Apple Bay Street", zip: "94608",
// city: "Emeryville", state: "California")
Automatic snake_case JSON keys for camelCase property names
In Swift 4.1, if you rename your zip property to zipCode, you can take advantage of the key encoding/decoding strategies on JSONEncoder and JSONDecoder in order to automatically convert coding keys between camelCase and snake_case.
Example encoding:
import Foundation
struct Address : Codable {
var street: String
var zipCode: String
var city: String
var state: String
}
let address = Address(street: "Apple Bay Street", zipCode: "94608",
city: "Emeryville", state: "California")
do {
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
encoder.keyEncodingStrategy = .convertToSnakeCase
let encoded = try encoder.encode(address)
print(String(decoding: encoded, as: UTF8.self))
} catch {
print(error)
}
//{"state":"California","street":"Apple Bay Street","zip_code":"94608","city":"Emeryville"}
Example decoding:
let jsonString = """
{"state":"California","street":"Apple Bay Street","zip_code":"94608","city":"Emeryville"}
"""
do {
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
decoder.keyDecodingStrategy = .convertFromSnakeCase
let decoded = try decoder.decode(Address.self, from: Data(jsonString.utf8))
print(decoded)
} catch {
print(error)
}
// Address(street: "Apple Bay Street", zipCode: "94608",
// city: "Emeryville", state: "California")
One important thing to note about this strategy however is that it won't be able to round-trip some property names with acronyms or initialisms which, according to the Swift API design guidelines, should be uniformly upper or lower case (depending on the position).
For example, a property named someURL will be encoded with the key some_url, but on decoding, this will be transformed to someUrl.
To fix this, you'll have to manually specify the coding key for that property to be string that the decoder expects, e.g someUrl in this case (which will still be transformed to some_url by the encoder):
struct S : Codable {
private enum CodingKeys : String, CodingKey {
case someURL = "someUrl", someOtherProperty
}
var someURL: String
var someOtherProperty: String
}
(This doesn't strictly answer your specific question, but given the canonical nature of this Q&A, I feel it's worth including)
Custom automatic JSON key mapping
In Swift 4.1, you can take advantage of the custom key encoding/decoding strategies on JSONEncoder and JSONDecoder, allowing you to provide a custom function to map coding keys.
The function you provide takes a [CodingKey], which represents the coding path for the current point in encoding/decoding (in most cases, you'll only need to consider the last element; that is, the current key). The function returns a CodingKey that will replace the last key in this array.
For example, UpperCamelCase JSON keys for lowerCamelCase property names:
import Foundation
// wrapper to allow us to substitute our mapped string keys.
struct AnyCodingKey : CodingKey {
var stringValue: String
var intValue: Int?
init(_ base: CodingKey) {
self.init(stringValue: base.stringValue, intValue: base.intValue)
}
init(stringValue: String) {
self.stringValue = stringValue
}
init(intValue: Int) {
self.stringValue = "\(intValue)"
self.intValue = intValue
}
init(stringValue: String, intValue: Int?) {
self.stringValue = stringValue
self.intValue = intValue
}
}
extension JSONEncoder.KeyEncodingStrategy {
static var convertToUpperCamelCase: JSONEncoder.KeyEncodingStrategy {
return .custom { codingKeys in
var key = AnyCodingKey(codingKeys.last!)
// uppercase first letter
if let firstChar = key.stringValue.first {
let i = key.stringValue.startIndex
key.stringValue.replaceSubrange(
i ... i, with: String(firstChar).uppercased()
)
}
return key
}
}
}
extension JSONDecoder.KeyDecodingStrategy {
static var convertFromUpperCamelCase: JSONDecoder.KeyDecodingStrategy {
return .custom { codingKeys in
var key = AnyCodingKey(codingKeys.last!)
// lowercase first letter
if let firstChar = key.stringValue.first {
let i = key.stringValue.startIndex
key.stringValue.replaceSubrange(
i ... i, with: String(firstChar).lowercased()
)
}
return key
}
}
}
You can now encode with the .convertToUpperCamelCase key strategy:
let address = Address(street: "Apple Bay Street", zipCode: "94608",
city: "Emeryville", state: "California")
do {
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
encoder.keyEncodingStrategy = .convertToUpperCamelCase
let encoded = try encoder.encode(address)
print(String(decoding: encoded, as: UTF8.self))
} catch {
print(error)
}
//{"Street":"Apple Bay Street","City":"Emeryville","State":"California","ZipCode":"94608"}
and decode with the .convertFromUpperCamelCase key strategy:
let jsonString = """
{"Street":"Apple Bay Street","City":"Emeryville","State":"California","ZipCode":"94608"}
"""
do {
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
decoder.keyDecodingStrategy = .convertFromUpperCamelCase
let decoded = try decoder.decode(Address.self, from: Data(jsonString.utf8))
print(decoded)
} catch {
print(error)
}
// Address(street: "Apple Bay Street", zipCode: "94608",
// city: "Emeryville", state: "California")
With Swift 4.2, according to your needs, you may use one of the 3 following strategies in order to make your model objects custom property names match your JSON keys.
#1. Using custom coding keys
When you declare a struct that conforms to Codable (Decodable and Encodable protocols) with the following implementation...
struct Address: Codable {
var street: String
var zip: String
var city: String
var state: String
}
... the compiler automatically generates a nested enum that conforms to CodingKey protocol for you.
struct Address: Codable {
var street: String
var zip: String
var city: String
var state: String
// compiler generated
private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case street
case zip
case city
case state
}
}
Therefore, if the keys used in your serialized data format don't match the property names from your data type, you can manually implement this enum and set the appropriate rawValue for the required cases.
The following example shows how to do:
import Foundation
struct Address: Codable {
var street: String
var zip: String
var city: String
var state: String
private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case street
case zip = "zip_code"
case city
case state
}
}
Encode (replacing zip property with "zip_code" JSON key):
let address = Address(street: "Apple Bay Street", zip: "94608", city: "Emeryville", state: "California")
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
if let jsonData = try? encoder.encode(address), let jsonString = String(data: jsonData, encoding: .utf8) {
print(jsonString)
}
/*
prints:
{"state":"California","street":"Apple Bay Street","zip_code":"94608","city":"Emeryville"}
*/
Decode (replacing "zip_code" JSON key with zip property):
let jsonString = """
{"state":"California","street":"Apple Bay Street","zip_code":"94608","city":"Emeryville"}
"""
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
if let jsonData = jsonString.data(using: .utf8), let address = try? decoder.decode(Address.self, from: jsonData) {
print(address)
}
/*
prints:
Address(street: "Apple Bay Street", zip: "94608", city: "Emeryville", state: "California")
*/
#2. Using snake case to camel case key coding strategies
If your JSON has snake-cased keys and you want to convert them to camel-cased properties for your model object, you can set your JSONEncoder's keyEncodingStrategy and JSONDecoder's keyDecodingStrategy properties to .convertToSnakeCase.
The following example shows how to do:
import Foundation
struct Address: Codable {
var street: String
var zipCode: String
var cityName: String
var state: String
}
Encode (converting camel cased properties into snake cased JSON keys):
let address = Address(street: "Apple Bay Street", zipCode: "94608", cityName: "Emeryville", state: "California")
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
encoder.keyEncodingStrategy = .convertToSnakeCase
if let jsonData = try? encoder.encode(address), let jsonString = String(data: jsonData, encoding: .utf8) {
print(jsonString)
}
/*
prints:
{"state":"California","street":"Apple Bay Street","zip_code":"94608","city_name":"Emeryville"}
*/
Decode (converting snake cased JSON keys into camel cased properties):
let jsonString = """
{"state":"California","street":"Apple Bay Street","zip_code":"94608","city_name":"Emeryville"}
"""
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
decoder.keyDecodingStrategy = .convertFromSnakeCase
if let jsonData = jsonString.data(using: .utf8), let address = try? decoder.decode(Address.self, from: jsonData) {
print(address)
}
/*
prints:
Address(street: "Apple Bay Street", zipCode: "94608", cityName: "Emeryville", state: "California")
*/
#3. Using custom key coding strategies
If necessary, JSONEncoder and JSONDecoder allow you to set a custom strategy to map coding keys using JSONEncoder.KeyEncodingStrategy.custom(_:) and JSONDecoder.KeyDecodingStrategy.custom(_:).
The following example shows how to implement them:
import Foundation
struct Address: Codable {
var street: String
var zip: String
var city: String
var state: String
}
struct AnyKey: CodingKey {
var stringValue: String
var intValue: Int?
init?(stringValue: String) {
self.stringValue = stringValue
}
init?(intValue: Int) {
self.stringValue = String(intValue)
self.intValue = intValue
}
}
Encode (converting lowercased first letter properties into uppercased first letter JSON keys):
let address = Address(street: "Apple Bay Street", zip: "94608", city: "Emeryville", state: "California")
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
encoder.keyEncodingStrategy = .custom({ (keys) -> CodingKey in
let lastKey = keys.last!
guard lastKey.intValue == nil else { return lastKey }
let stringValue = lastKey.stringValue.prefix(1).uppercased() + lastKey.stringValue.dropFirst()
return AnyKey(stringValue: stringValue)!
})
if let jsonData = try? encoder.encode(address), let jsonString = String(data: jsonData, encoding: .utf8) {
print(jsonString)
}
/*
prints:
{"Zip":"94608","Street":"Apple Bay Street","City":"Emeryville","State":"California"}
*/
Decode (converting uppercased first letter JSON keys into lowercased first letter properties):
let jsonString = """
{"State":"California","Street":"Apple Bay Street","Zip":"94608","City":"Emeryville"}
"""
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
decoder.keyDecodingStrategy = .custom({ (keys) -> CodingKey in
let lastKey = keys.last!
guard lastKey.intValue == nil else { return lastKey }
let stringValue = lastKey.stringValue.prefix(1).lowercased() + lastKey.stringValue.dropFirst()
return AnyKey(stringValue: stringValue)!
})
if let jsonData = jsonString.data(using: .utf8), let address = try? decoder.decode(Address.self, from: jsonData) {
print(address)
}
/*
prints:
Address(street: "Apple Bay Street", zip: "94608", city: "Emeryville", state: "California")
*/

What I have done is create own structure just like what you are getting from the JSON with respect to its data types.
Just like this:
struct Track {
let id : Int
let contributingArtistNames:String
let name : String
let albumName :String
let copyrightP:String
let copyrightC:String
let playlistCount:Int
let trackPopularity:Int
let playlistFollowerCount:Int
let artistFollowerCount : Int
let label : String
}
After this you need to create an extension of the same struct extending decodable and the enum of the same structure with CodingKey and then you need to initialize the decoder using this enum with its keys and datatypes (Keys will come from the enum and the datatypes will be coming or say referenced from the structure itself)
extension Track: Decodable {
enum TrackCodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case id = "id"
case contributingArtistNames = "primaryArtistsNames"
case spotifyId = "spotifyId"
case name = "name"
case albumName = "albumName"
case albumImageUrl = "albumImageUrl"
case copyrightP = "copyrightP"
case copyrightC = "copyrightC"
case playlistCount = "playlistCount"
case trackPopularity = "trackPopularity"
case playlistFollowerCount = "playlistFollowerCount"
case artistFollowerCount = "artistFollowers"
case label = "label"
}
init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
let trackContainer = try decoder.container(keyedBy: TrackCodingKeys.self)
if trackContainer.contains(.id){
id = try trackContainer.decode(Int.self, forKey: .id)
}else{
id = 0
}
if trackContainer.contains(.contributingArtistNames){
contributingArtistNames = try trackContainer.decode(String.self, forKey: .contributingArtistNames)
}else{
contributingArtistNames = ""
}
if trackContainer.contains(.spotifyId){
spotifyId = try trackContainer.decode(String.self, forKey: .spotifyId)
}else{
spotifyId = ""
}
if trackContainer.contains(.name){
name = try trackContainer.decode(String.self, forKey: .name)
}else{
name = ""
}
if trackContainer.contains(.albumName){
albumName = try trackContainer.decode(String.self, forKey: .albumName)
}else{
albumName = ""
}
if trackContainer.contains(.albumImageUrl){
albumImageUrl = try trackContainer.decode(String.self, forKey: .albumImageUrl)
}else{
albumImageUrl = ""
}
if trackContainer.contains(.copyrightP){
copyrightP = try trackContainer.decode(String.self, forKey: .copyrightP)
}else{
copyrightP = ""
}
if trackContainer.contains(.copyrightC){
copyrightC = try trackContainer.decode(String.self, forKey: .copyrightC)
}else{
copyrightC = ""
}
if trackContainer.contains(.playlistCount){
playlistCount = try trackContainer.decode(Int.self, forKey: .playlistCount)
}else{
playlistCount = 0
}
if trackContainer.contains(.trackPopularity){
trackPopularity = try trackContainer.decode(Int.self, forKey: .trackPopularity)
}else{
trackPopularity = 0
}
if trackContainer.contains(.playlistFollowerCount){
playlistFollowerCount = try trackContainer.decode(Int.self, forKey: .playlistFollowerCount)
}else{
playlistFollowerCount = 0
}
if trackContainer.contains(.artistFollowerCount){
artistFollowerCount = try trackContainer.decode(Int.self, forKey: .artistFollowerCount)
}else{
artistFollowerCount = 0
}
if trackContainer.contains(.label){
label = try trackContainer.decode(String.self, forKey: .label)
}else{
label = ""
}
}
}
You need to change here each and every key and datatypes according to your needs and use it with the decoder.
By using CodingKey you can use custom keys in codable or decodable protocol.
struct person: Codable {
var name: String
var age: Int
var street: String
var state: String
private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case name
case age
case street = "Street_name"
case state
} }
I have this model and I want to fetch results from Firebase Firestore.
struct Notification: Identifiable, Codable {
var id = UUID()
var type: String
var createdAt: Date
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case id
case type
case createdAt //Firestore Timestamp
}
}
ViewModel
self.notifications = snapshot.documents.compactMap { queryDocumentSnapshot -> Notification? in
print(try? queryDocumentSnapshot.data(as: Notification.self)) //nil
return try? queryDocumentSnapshot.data(as: Notification.self)
}
The problem is that the model is nil when I try to fill an array.
I have tried it also without the createdAt (timestamp) and still it fails.
Anything wrong here?
The createdAt property of your Notification object is a Date and what's stored in Firestore is a Timestamp
struct Notification: Identifiable, Codable {
var id = UUID()
var type: String
var createdAt: Date <- needs to be a Timestamp
You can either change the property to match, or convert the Firestore Timestamp to a date
let aDate = timestamp.dateValue()
If you want to use the Date property you can include an init in the struct to handle that
init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
let values = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
self.type = try values.decode(String.self, forKey: .type)
let ts = try values.decode(TimeStamp.self, forKey: .createdAt)
self.myDate = ts.dateValue()
I'm parsing data from JSON using codable and using my completion handler to pass the data to its origin. However, before passing the caller, I would like to sort data and then send it. Below is my code
func getEmployeeData(for type: Employee, completion: #escaping (Result<EmployeesBase, APIError>) -> Void) {
//set API endpoint for Employer
let endpoint = type
//Create Request with headers
let request = endpoint.mutableRequest
//get employee Data
fetch(with: request, decode: { json -> EmployeesBase? in
guard let jsonResponse = json as? EmployeesBase else { return nil }
return jsonResponse
}, completion: completion) //Sort this completion by joiningDate
}
struct EmployeesBase: Codable {
let employee: [Employee]
}
struct Employee: Codable {
let name: String
let empID: String
let joiningDate: String
let dept: String
}
I'm confused how I can sort this.
You can do
jsonResponse.employee.sort { $0.joiningDate < $1.joiningDate }
struct EmployeesBase: Codable {
var employee: [Employee] // make it var , as sort is mutating
}
let joiningDate: Date // parse this key as Date with correct format
Alter the decoder for this
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZZZZZ" // change to your format
decoder.dateDecodingStrategy = .formatted(formatter)
Getting data append problem in nested json by using swiftjson library swift.
I have created two struct but getting an error while appending the final list. Error in getting when appending data. Have i created struct well.

var commentsUrl : String!
var descriptionField : String!
var owner : Owner!
}

Swift:
switch response.result{
case .success(let value):
let json = JSON(value)
print(json)
for subJson in json.arrayValue {
let comm = subJson["comments"].intValue
let commurl = subJson["comments_url"].stringValue
let desc = subJson["description"].string
//let age = subJson["owner"]["login"].string
for item in subJson{
let login = subJson["owner"]["login"].string
// do something
}
let user = GistModel(comments: comm, commentsUrl: commurl, descriptionField: desc, login: login)//, owner: login)
self.DataList.append(user)
print(user)
}
I am newbie Getting error on append the list. "Use of unresolved identifier 'login'".
If you are willing to move to standard json handling using Codable then this will work. First let structs implement Decodable
struct GistModel: Decodable {
let comments: Int
let commentsUrl: String
let description: String //Changed the name here
let owner: Owner
}
struct Owner: Decodable {
let login: String
}
And encoding is done like this
do {
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
decoder.keyDecodingStrategy = .convertFromSnakeCase
let result = try decoder.decode([GistModel].self, from: data)
print(result[0].owner.login)
print(result[0].comments)
print(result[0].commentsUrl)
} catch {
print(error)
}
