**Swift 4 introduces a new `Codable` protocol that lets you serialize and deserialize custom data types without writing any special code and without having to worry about losing your value types. 🎉**

**Awesome, isn't it? And this library helps you write less code! It's an extension for `Alamofire` that converts `JSON` data into `Decodable` object.**

### Useful Resources:
- [Encoding and Decoding Custom Types](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/archives_and_serialization/encoding_and_decoding_custom_types) - Article by Apple
- [Using JSON with Custom Types](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/archives_and_serialization/using_json_with_custom_types) - Swift Playground
- Also there is a special session from `WWDC2017` that covers this new feature - [What's New in Foundation](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2017/212/)

# Usage

Let's decode a simple json file:
```
{
"result": {
"libraries": [
{
"name": "Alamofire",
"stars": 23857,
"url": "https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire",
"random_date_commit": 1489276800
},
{
"name": "RxSwift",
"stars": 9600,
"url": "https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxSwift",
"random_date_commit": 1494547200
}
]
}
}
```

with the following Swift model:

```swift
private struct Repo: Decodable {
let name: String
let stars: Int
let url: URL
let randomDateCommit: Date

private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case name
case stars
case url
case randomDateCommit = "random_date_commit"
}
}
```

There is a similar method to `responseData`, `responseJSON` - **`responseDecodableObject`**:

```swift
func responseDecodableObject(queue: DispatchQueue? = nil, keyPath: String? = nil, decoder: JSONDecoder = JSONDecoder(), completionHandler: @escaping (AFDataResponse) -> Void)
```

- `queue` - The queue on which the completion handler is dispatched.
- `keyPath` - The keyPath where object decoding should be performed.
- `decoder` - The decoder that performs the decoding of JSON into semantic `Decodable` type.

```swift
let url = URL(string: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/otbivnoe/CodableAlamofire/master/keypathArray.json")!
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
decoder.dateDecodingStrategy = .secondsSince1970 // It is necessary for correct decoding. Timestamp -> Date.

AF.request(url).responseDecodableObject(keyPath: "result.libraries", decoder: decoder) { (response: AFDataResponse<[Repo]>) in
let repo = response.value
print(repo)
}
```

### Note:
- For array: `DataResponse<[Repo]>`
- For single object: `DataResponse`

# Requirements
- Swift 4+
- Xcode 9+

# Installation 🔥

## CocoaPods

[CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org) is a dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C Cocoa projects. It has over eighteen thousand libraries and can help you scale your projects elegantly. You can install it with the following command:

```bash
$ sudo gem install cocoapods
```

To integrate CodableAlamofire, simply add the following line to your `Podfile`:

```ruby
target 'Test' do
use_frameworks!

pod 'CodableAlamofire'

end
```

## Carthage

[Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage) is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

You can install Carthage with [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) using the following command:

```bash
$ brew update
$ brew install carthage
```
To integrate CodableAlamofire into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your `Cartfile`:
```odgl
github "Otbivnoe/CodableAlamofire"
```

Run `carthage update` to build the framework and drag the built `CodableAlamofire.framework` into your Xcode project.
