### List Available Databases



This snippet connects to the server and has it list all of the hosted databases.



```swift

let fms = FileMakerServer(host: testHost, port: testPort, userName: testUserName, password: testPassword)

fms.databaseNames {

	result in

	do {

		// Get the list of names

		let names = try result()

		for name in names {

			print("Got a database name \(name)")

		}

	} catch FMPError.serverError(let code, let msg) {

		print("Got a server error \(code) \(msg)")

	} catch let e {

		print("Got an unexpected error \(e)")

	}

}

```



### List Available Layouts



List all of the layouts in a particular database.



```swift

let fms = FileMakerServer(host: testHost, port: testPort, userName: testUserName, password: testPassword)

fms.layoutNames(database: "FMServer_Sample") {

	result in

	guard let names = try? result() else {

		return // got an error

	}

	for name in names {

		print("Got a layout name \(name)")

	}

}

```



### List Field On Layout



List all of the field names on a particular layout.



```swift

let fms = FileMakerServer(host: testHost, port: testPort, userName: testUserName, password: testPassword)

fms.layoutInfo(database: "FMServer_Sample", layout: "Task Details") {

	result in

	guard let layoutInfo = try? result() else {

		return // error

	}

	let fieldsByName = layoutInfo.fieldsByName

	for (name, value) in fieldsByName {

		print("Field \(name) = \(value)")

	}

}

```



### Find All Records



Perform a findall and print all field names and values.



```swift

let query = FMPQuery(database: "FMServer_Sample", layout: "Task Details", action: .findAll)

let fms = FileMakerServer(host: testHost, port: testPort, userName: testUserName, password: testPassword)

fms.query(query) {

	result in

	guard let resultSet = try? result() else {

		return // error

	}

	let fields = resultSet.layoutInfo.fields

	let records = resultSet.records

	let recordCount = records.count

	for i in 0..
