# Networking

Networking brings together `URLSession`, `async`-`await` (or `Combine` ), `Decodable` and `Generics` to simplify connecting to a JSON api.
## Demo time 🍿
Networking turns this:
```swift
let config = URLSessionConfiguration.default
let urlSession = URLSession(configuration: config, delegate: nil, delegateQueue: nil)
var urlRequest = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users")!)
urlRequest.httpMethod = "POST"
urlRequest.addValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
urlRequest.httpBody = "firstname=Alan&lastname=Turing".data(using: .utf8)
let (data, _) = try await urlSession.data(for: urlRequest)
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
let user = try decoder.decode(User.self, from: data)
```
into:
```swift
let network = NetworkingClient(baseURL: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com")
let user: User = try await network.post("/users", params: ["firstname" : "Alan", "lastname" : "Turing"])
```
## Video tutorial
Alex from [Rebeloper](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK88iDIf2V6w68WvC-k7jcg) made a fantastic video tutorial, check it out [here](https://youtu.be/RM5uKTBr20c)!
## How
By providing a lightweight client that **automates boilerplate code everyone has to write**.
By exposing a **delightfully simple** api to get the job done simply, clearly, quickly.
Getting swift models from a JSON api is now *a problem of the past*
URLSession + Combine + Generics + Protocols = Networking.
## What
- [x] Build a concise Api
- [x] Automatically map your models
- [x] Uses latest Apple's [Combine](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/combine) / asyn-await
- [x] Compatible with native `Decodable` and any JSON Parser
- [x] Embarks a built-in network logger
- [x] Pure Swift, simple, lightweight & 0 dependencies

### Install it
`Networking` is installed via the official [Swift Package Manager](https://swift.org/package-manager/).
Select `Xcode`>`File`> `Swift Packages`>`Add Package Dependency...`
and add `https://github.com/freshOS/Networking`.
### Create a Client
```swift
let client = NetworkingClient(baseURL: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com")
```
### Make your first call
Use `get`, `post`, `put`, `patch` & `delete` methods on the client to make calls.
```swift
let data: Data = try await client.get("/posts/1")
```
All the apis are also available in Combine:
```swift
client.get("/posts/1").sink(receiveCompletion: { _ in }) { (data:Data) in
// data
}.store(in: &cancellables)
```
### Get the type you want back
`Networking` recognizes the type you want back via type inference.
Types supported are `Void`, `Data`, `Any`(JSON), `Decodable`(Your Model) & `NetworkingJSONDecodable`
This enables keeping a simple api while supporting many types :
```swift
let voidPublisher: AnyPublisher = client.get("")
let dataPublisher: AnyPublisher = client.get("")
let jsonPublisher: AnyPublisher = client.get("")
let postPublisher: AnyPublisher = client.get("")
let postsPublisher: AnyPublisher<[Post], Error> = client.get("")
```
### Pass params
Simply pass a `[String: CustomStringConvertible]` dictionary to the `params` parameter.
```swift
let response: Data = try await client.posts("/posts/1", params: ["optin" : true ])
```
Parameters are `.urlEncoded` by default (`Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded`), to encode them as json
(`Content-Type: application/json`), you need to set the client's `parameterEncoding` to `.json` as follows:
```swift
client.parameterEncoding = .json
```
### Upload multipart data
For multipart calls (post/put), just pass a `MultipartData` struct to the `multipartData` parameter.
```swift
let params: [String: CustomStringConvertible] = [ "type_resource_id": 1, "title": photo.title]
let multipartData = MultipartData(name: "file",
fileData: photo.data,
fileName: "photo.jpg",
mimeType: "image/jpeg")
client.post("/photos/upload",
params: params,
multipartData: multipartData).sink(receiveCompletion: { _ in }) { (data:Data?, progress: Progress) in
if let data = data {
print("upload is complete : \(data)")
} else {
print("progress: \(progress)")
}
}.store(in: &cancellables)
```
### Add Headers
Headers are added via the `headers` property on the client.
```swift
client.headers["Authorization"] = "[mytoken]"
```
### Add Timeout
Timeout (TimeInterval in seconds) is added via the optional `timeout` property on the client.
```swift
let client = NetworkingClient(baseURL: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com", timeout: 15)
```
Alternatively,
```swift
client.timeout = 15
```
### Cancel a request
Since `Networking` uses the Combine framework. You just have to cancel the `AnyCancellable` returned by the `sink` call.
```swift
var cancellable = client.get("/posts/1").sink(receiveCompletion: { _ in }) { (json:Any) in
print(json)
}
```
Later ...
```swift
cancellable.cancel()
```
### Log Network calls
3 log levels are supported: `off`, `info`, `debug`
```swift
client.logLevel = .debug
```
### Handling errors
Errors can be handled on a Publisher, such as:
```swift
client.get("/posts/1").sink(receiveCompletion: { completion in
switch completion {
case .finished:
break
case .failure(let error):
switch error {
case let decodingError DecodingError:
// handle JSON decoding errors
case let networkingError NetworkingError:
// handle NetworkingError
// print(networkingError.status)
// print(networkingError.code)
default:
// handle other error types
print("\(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
}) { (response: Post) in
// handle the response
}.store(in: &cancellables)
```
### Support JSON-to-Model parsing.
For a model to be parsable by `Networking`, it only needs to conform to the `Decodable` protocol.
If you are using a custom JSON parser, then you'll have to conform to `NetworkingJSONDecodable`.
For example if you are using [Arrow](https://github.com/freshOS/Arrow) for JSON Parsing.
Supporting a `Post` model will look like this:
```swift
extension Post: NetworkingJSONDecodable {
static func decode(_ json: Any) throws -> Post {
var t = Post()
if let arrowJSON = JSON(json) {
t.deserialize(arrowJSON)
}
return t
}
}
```
Instead of doing it every models, you can actually do it once for all with a clever extension 🤓.
```swift
extension ArrowParsable where Self: NetworkingJSONDecodable {
public static func decode(_ json: Any) throws -> Self {
var t: Self = Self()
if let arrowJSON = JSON(json) {
t.deserialize(arrowJSON)
}
return t
}
}
extension User: NetworkingJSONDecodable { }
extension Photo: NetworkingJSONDecodable { }
extension Video: NetworkingJSONDecodable { }
// etc.
```
### Design a clean api
In order to write a concise api, Networking provides the `NetworkingService` protocol.
This will forward your calls to the underlying client so that your only have to write `get("/route")` instead of `network.get("/route")`, while this is overkill for tiny apis, it definitely keep things concise when working with massive apis.
Given an `Article` model
```swift
struct Article: DeCodable {
let id: String
let title: String
let content: String
}
```
Here is what a typical CRUD api would look like :
```swift
struct CRUDApi: NetworkingService {
var network = NetworkingClient(baseURL: "https://my-api.com")
// Create
func create(article a: Article) async throws -> Article {
try await post("/articles", params: ["title" : a.title, "content" : a.content])
}
// Read
func fetch(article a: Article) async throws -> Article {
try await get("/articles/\(a.id)")
}
// Update
func update(article a: Article) async throws -> Article {
try await put("/articles/\(a.id)", params: ["title" : a.title, "content" : a.content])
}
// Delete
func delete(article a: Article) async throws {
return try await delete("/articles/\(a.id)")
}
// List
func articles() async throws -> [Article] {
try await get("/articles")
}
}
```
The Combine equivalent would look like this:
```swift
struct CRUDApi: NetworkingService {
var network = NetworkingClient(baseURL: "https://my-api.com")
// Create
func create(article a: Article) -> AnyPublisher {
post("/articles", params: ["title" : a.title, "content" : a.content])
}
// Read
func fetch(article a: Article) -> AnyPublisher {
get("/articles/\(a.id)")
}
// Update
func update(article a: Article) -> AnyPublisher {
put("/articles/\(a.id)", params: ["title" : a.title, "content" : a.content])
}
// Delete
func delete(article a: Article) -> AnyPublisher {
delete("/articles/\(a.id)")
}
// List
func articles() -> AnyPublisher<[Article], Error> {
get("/articles")
}
}
```
