Basic Demo

Lets say you want to fetch a html string.

First you have to create a service, by providing a network access. You can use URLSession out of the box or provide your own custom solution by implementing NetworkAccess.


let networkAccess = URLSession(configuration: .default)
let networkService = BasicNetworkService(networkAccess: networkAccess)

Create a resource with a request to fetch your data.


let url = URL(staticString: "https://httpbin.org")
let request = URLRequest(path: "/", baseURL: url, HTTPMethod: .GET)
let resource = Resource(request: request, parse: { String(data: $0, encoding: .utf8) })

Request your resource and handle the result

networkService.request(resource, onCompletion: { htmlText in
    print(htmlText)
}, onError: { error in
    //Handle errors
})

Load types conforming to Swift-Decodable

struct IPOrigin: Decodable {
    let origin: String
}

let url = URL(staticString: "https://www.httpbin.org")
let request = URLRequest(path: "ip", baseURL: url)

let resource = Resource<IPOrigin>(request: request, decoder: JSONDecoder())

networkService.request(resource, onCompletion: { origin in
    print(origin)
}, onError: { error in
    //Handle errors
})

Accessing HTTPResponse

Request your resource and handle the result & http response. This is similar to just requesting a resulting model.

networkService.request(resource, onCompletionWithResponse: { origin, response in
    print(origin, response)
}, onError: { error in
    //Handle errors
})

Protocol oriented architecture / Exchangability

Composable Features

ClassFeature
RetryNetworkServiceRetrys requests after a given delay when an error meets given criteria.
ModifyRequestNetworkServiceModify matching requests. Can be used to add auth tokens or API Keys
NetworkServiceMockMocks a NetworkService. Can be use during unit tests

Requirements

Installation

Swift Package Manager

SPM is integrated with the Swift build system to automate the process of downloading, compiling, and linking dependencies.

Specify the following in your Package.swift:

.package(url: "https://github.com/dbsystel/DBNetworkStack", from: "2.1.0"),
