Usage Example

Basic Usage

iONess is designed to simplify the request process for HTTP Request. All you need to do is just create the request using Ness / HTTPRequestManager class:

Ness.default
    .httpRequest(.get, withUrl: "https://myurl.com")
    .prepareDataRequest()
    .then { result in
    // do something with result
}

Create Request

To create request you can do something like this:

Ness.default.httpRequest(.get, withUrl: "https://myurl.com")
    .set(urlParameters: ["param1": "value1", "param2": "value2"])
    .set(headers: ["Authorization": myToken])
    .set(body: dataBody)
    ..
    ..

or with customize URLSession:

// create session
var session = URLSession()
session.configuration = myCustomConfig
session.delegateQueue = myOperationQueue
..
..

// create Ness instance
let eatr = Ness(with: session)

// create request
eatr.httpRequest(.get, withUrl: "https://myurl.com")
    .set(urlParameters: ["param1": "value1", "param2": "value2"])
    .set(headers: ["Authorization": myToken])
    .set(body: dataBody)
    ..
    ..

it's better to save the instance of Ness and reused it since it will be just creating the request with same URLSession unless you want to use any other URLSession for other request.

available enumeration for HTTP Method to use are:

• post
• get
• put
• patch
• delete
• head
• connect
• options
• trace
• none if you don't want to include HTTP Method header
• custom(String)

to set custom type of body, you need to pass those custom type encoder which implement HTTPBodyEncoder object to encode the object into the data:

Ness.default.httpRequest(.get, withUrl: "https://myurl.com")
    .set(body: myObject, with encoder: myEndoder) -> Self
    ..
    ..

The declaration of HTTPBodyEncoder is:

public protocol HTTPBodyEncoder {
    var relatedHeaders: [String: String]? { get }
    func encoder(_ any: Any) throws -> Data
}

the relatedHeaders is the associated header with this encoding which will auto assigned to the request headers. those method are optional since the default implementation are returning nil

there some different default method to set the body with iONess default body encoder which are:

• func set(body: Data) -> Self
• func set(stringBody: String, encoding: String.Encoding = .utf8) -> Self
• func set(jsonBody: [String: Any]) -> Self
• func set(arrayJsonBody: [Any]) -> Self
• func set<EObject: Encodable>(jsonEncodable: EObject) -> Self
• func set<EObject: Encodable>(arrayJsonEncodable: [EObject]) -> Self

After the request is ready then prepare the request which will return Thenable:

Ness.default.httpRequest(.get, withUrl: "https://myurl.com")
    .set(urlParameters: ["param1": "value1", "param2": "value2"])
    .set(headers: ["Authorization": myToken])
    .set(body: dataBody)
    ..
    ..
    .prepareDataRequest()

or for download, you need to give target location URL where you want to downloaded data to be saved:

Ness.default.httpRequest(.get, withUrl: "https://myurl.com")
    .set(urlParameters: ["param1": "value1", "param2": "value2"])
    .set(headers: ["Authorization": myToken])
    .set(body: dataBody)
    ..
    ..
    .prepareDownloadRequest(targetSavedUrl: myTargetUrl)

or for updload you need to give file location URL which you want to upload:

Ness.default.httpRequest(.get, withUrl: "https://myurl.com")
    .set(urlParameters: ["param1": "value1", "param2": "value2"])
    .set(headers: ["Authorization": myToken])
    .set(body: dataBody)
    ..
    ..
    .prepareUploadRequest(withFileLocation: myTargetUrl)

Data Request Thenable

After creating data request, you can just execute the request with then method:

Ness.default
    .httpRequest(.get, withUrl: "https://myurl.com")
    ..
    ..
    .prepareDataRequest()
    .then { result in
    // do something with result
}

Or with separate completion:

Ness.default
    .httpRequest(.get, withUrl: "https://myurl.com")
    ..
    ..
    .prepareDataRequest()
    .then(run: { result in
        // do something when get response
    }, whenFailed: { result in
        // do something when failed
    }
)

With custom dispatcher which will be the thread where completion run:

Ness.default
    .httpRequest(.get, withUrl: "https://myurl.com")
    ..
    ..
    .prepareDataRequest()
    .completionDispatch(on: .global(qos: .background))
    .then(run: { result in
        // do something when get response
    }, whenFailed: { result in
        // do something when failed
    }
)

The default dispatcher is DispatchQueue.main

Or even without completion:

Ness.default
    .httpRequest(.get, withUrl: "https://myurl.com")
    ..
    ..
    .prepareDataRequest()
    .executeAndForget()

The result is URLResult object which contains:

• urlResponse: URLResponse? which is original response which you can read the documentation at here
• error: Error? which is error if happen. it will be nil on success response
• responseData: Data? which is raw data of the response body
• isFailed: Bool which is true if request is failed
• isSucceed: Bool which is true if request is success
• httpMessage: HTTPResultMessage? which is response message of the request. Will be nil if the result is not http result

The HTTPResultMessage is the detailed http response from the URLResult:

• url: HTTPURLCompatible which is origin url of the response
• headers: Header which is headers of the response
• body: Data? which is body of the response
• statusCode: Int which is statusCode of the response

You can get the thenable object or ignore it. It will return HTTPRequest which contains status of the request

let request = Ness.default
    .httpRequest(.get, withUrl: "https://myurl.com")
    ..
    ..
    .prepareDataRequest()
    .executeAndForget()
let status = request.status

The statuses are:

• running(Float) which contains percentage of request progress from 0 - 1
• dropped
• idle
• completed(HTTPURLResponse) which contains the completed response
• error(Error) which contains error if there are occurs

you can cancel the request using drop() function:

request.drop()

Upload Request Thenable

Upload request basically are the same with Data request in terms of thenable.

Download Request Thenable

Download request have slightly difference than data request or upload request. The download request can be paused and resumed, and the result is different

The result is DownloadResult object which contains:

• urlResponse: URLResponse? which is original response which you can read the documentation at here
• error: Error? which is error if happen. it will be nil on success response
• dataLocalURL: URL? which is the location of downloaded data
• isFailed: Bool which is true if request is failed
• isSucceed: Bool which is true if request is success

You can pause the download and resume:

request.pause()

let status = request.resume()

resume will return ResumeStatus which is enumeration:

• resumed
• failToResume

Decode Response Body For Data Request

to parse the body, you can do:

let decodedBody = try? result.message.parseBody(using: myDecoder)

the parseBody are accept any object that implement ResponseDecoder. The declaration of ResponseDecoder protocol is like this:

public protocol ResponseDecoder {
    associatedtype Decoded
    func decode(from data: Data) throws -> Decoded
}

so you can do something like this:

class MyResponseDecoder: ResponseDecoder {
    typealias Decoded = MyObject
    
    func decode(from data: Data) throws -> MyObject {
        // do something to decode data into MyObject
    }
}

there are default base decoder you can use if you don't want to parse from Data

class MyJSONResponseDecoder: BaseJSONDecoder<MyObject> {
    typealias Decoded = MyObject
    
    override func decode(from json: [String: Any]) throws -> MyObject {
        // do something to decode json into MyObject
    }
}

class MyStringResponseDecoder: BaseStringDecoder<MyObject> {
    typealias Decoded = MyObject
    
    override func decode(from string: String) throws -> MyObject {
        // do something to decode string into MyObject
    }
}

the HTTPResultMessage have default function to automatically parse the body which:

• func parseBody(toStringEndcoded encoding: String.Encoding = .utf8) throws -> String
• func parseJSONBody() throws -> [String: Any]
• func parseArrayJSONBody() throws -> [Any]
• func parseJSONBody<DObject: Decodable>() throws -> DObject
• func parseArrayJSONBody<DObject: Decodable>() throws -> [DObject]
• func parseJSONBody<DOBject: Decodable>(forType type: DOBject.Type) throws -> DOBject
• func parseArrayJSONBody<DObject: Decodable>(forType type: DObject.Type) throws -> [DObject]

Validator

You can add validation for the response like this:

Ness.default
    .httpRequest(.get, withUrl: "https://myurl.com")
    ..
    ..
    .prepareDataRequest()
    .validate(statusCodes: 0..<300)
    .validate(shouldHaveHeaders: ["Content-Type": "application/json"])
    .then(run: { result in
        // do something when get response
    }, whenFailed: { result in
        // do something when failed
    }
)

If the response is not valid, then it will have error or dispacthed into whenFailed closure with error.

the provided validate method are:

• validate(statusCode: Int) -> Self
• validate(statusCodes: Range<Int>) -> Self
• validate(shouldHaveHeaders headers: [String:String]) -> Self

You can add custom validator to validate the http response. The type of validator is URLValidator:

public protocol HTTPValidator {
    func validate(for response: URLResponse) -> ValidationResult
}

ValidationResult is a enumeration which contains:

• valid
• invalid
• invalidWithReason(String) invalid with custom reason which will be a description on HTTPError Error

and put your custom URLValidator like this:

Ness.default
    .httpRequest(.get, withUrl: "https://myurl.com")
    ..
    ..
    .prepareDataRequest()
    .validate(using: MyCustomValidator())
    .then(run: { result in
        // do something when get response
    }, whenFailed: { result in
        // do something when failed
    }
)

You can use HTTPValidator if you want to validate only HTTPURLResponse and automatically invalidate the other:

public protocol HTTPValidator: URLValidator {
    func validate(forHttp response: HTTPURLResponse) -> URLValidatorResult
}

Remember you can put as many validator as you want, which will validate the response using all those validator from the first until end or when one validator return invalid If you don't provide any URLValidator, then it will considered invalid if there's error or no response from the server, otherwise, all the response will be considered valid

Aggregate

You can aggregate two or more request into one single Thenable like this:

request1.aggregate(with: request2)
    .aggregate(request3)
    .then { allResults in
    // do something with allResults
}

//or like this
RequestAggregator(aggregatedRequests)
    .then { allResults in
        // do something with allResults
}

the result are RequestAggregator.Result which contains:

• results: [AggregatedResult] which is all the completed results from aggregated requests
• isFailed: Bool which will be true if one or more request is failed
• areCompleted: Bool which will be true if all the request is completed

You can get the request too like single Request and get its status or drop it just like one request:

let aggregatedRequests = request1.aggregate(with: request2)
    .aggregate(request3)
    .then { allResults in
    // do something with allResults
}
let aggregatedStatus = aggregatedRequests.status
aggregatedRequests.drop()
