How to successfully pass string array as parameter alamofire - ios

Question

I have an endpoint that accepts a string array as parameter but I can't get it working with alamofire.
I test my endpoint with postman and it works fine, even in the browser, but with alamofire it fails and just returns the whole thing (as if I didn't put any parameter).
func getQuotes(String url){
//THIS CALL IS NOT WORKING. PARAMETERS ARE NOT SENT PROPERLY - FIX
let stringArray : [String] = ["4250_XSAU", "Test"]
let getQuoteParameters : Parameters = [
//"internal_symbols": stockInternalSymbols
"internal_symbols" : stringArray
]
print("attempting to get quotes on utility queue")
Alamofire.request(url, parameters: getQuoteParameters).responseJSON{ response in
print(response)
/* if (response.result.value != nil){
let jsonResponse = JSON(response.result.value!)
print(jsonResponse)
}
*/
}
}
Am I doing something wrong? When I go to url + "?internal_symbols=["4250_XSAU","Test"] on my browser, or postman, it works just fine.
I also tried setting my "getQuoteParamaters" variable as
let getQuoteParameters : Parameters = [
"internal_symbols" : ["4250_XSAU", "Test"]
]
but it doesn't work neither... it should be the same thing.
Just to clarify, this request ignores completely my parameters, when it should send the array to my backend.

You can simply pass your string array in converting it into a JSON format.Like in the sample code given below:
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
let values = ["06786984572365", "06644857247565", "06649998782227"]
request.httpBody = try! JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: values)
Alamofire.request(request)
.responseJSON { response in
// do whatever you want here
switch response.result {
case .failure(let error):
print(error)
if let data = response.data, let responseString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
print(responseString)
}
case .success(let responseObject):
print(responseObject)
}
}

My solution in Swift 3:
let text: [String] = ["location.branches.longitude", "location.branches.latitude"]
let params: Parameters = [
"_source": text
]

Answer 3

Try by add encoding standard in your request, like JSONEncoding.default
func getQuotes(String url){
//THIS CALL IS NOT WORKING. PARAMETERS ARE NOT SENT PROPERLY - FIX
let stringArray : [String] = ["4250_XSAU", "Test"]
let getQuoteParameters : Parameters = [
//"internal_symbols": stockInternalSymbols
"internal_symbols" : stringArray
]
print("attempting to get quotes on utility queue")
Alamofire.request(url, method: .post, parameters: getQuoteParameters, encoding: JSONEncoding.default).responseJSON{ response in
print(response)
/* if (response.result.value != nil){
let jsonResponse = JSON(response.result.value!)
print(jsonResponse)
}
*/
}
Thanks.
