How to update parsed JSON data using delegates (no table) - swift

Question

I have a file which is parsing the JSON data and another file which calls the function and tries to retrieve the data. However, it seems that it can't update into the variable I want it too. I used this format (using tables) in another project when parsing data and it used tableView.reloadData(). Is there something like this but not for tables?
Here is the code for the file that calls the function to parse the JSON and tries to set it as member. However when I print(member.first_name), it just appears as hi
class ProfileVC: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var NameText: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var IDText: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var GenderText: UILabel!
var MemberManager = GetMember()
var member: MemberModel = MemberModel(id: " ", first_name: "hi ", last_name: " ", gender: " ")
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
MemberManager.delegate = self
MemberManager.fetchMember()
print(member.first_name)
NameText.text = "member?.first_name"
}
}
//MARK: - GetMemberDelegate
extension ProfileVC: GetMemberDelegate {
func didUpdateStatus(_ getMember: GetMember, member: MemberModel) {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.member = member
}
}
func didFailWithError(_ error: Error) {
print("ei")
print(error)
}
}
Here is the code I used to parse the JSON.
import Foundation
protocol GetMemberDelegate {
func didUpdateStatus(_ getMember: GetMember, member: MemberModel)
func didFailWithError(_ error: Error)
}
struct GetMember {
// GET https://api.propublica.org/congress/v1/members/{member-id}.json
let getMemberString = "https://api.propublica.org/congress/v1/members/M001157.json"
var delegate: GetMemberDelegate?
var urlUpcomingFinalString: String?
// Forms URL
func fetchMember() {
let urlMember = NSURL(string: getMemberString)!
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: urlMember as URL)
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.setValue(Constant.APIKEY, forHTTPHeaderField: "X-API-Key")
performRequest(request)
}
// Performs request
func performRequest (_ urlRequest: NSURLRequest) {
let session = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: urlRequest as URLRequest) {data, response, error in
if error != nil {
self.delegate?.didFailWithError(error!)
print("No")
return
}
if let safeData = data {
if let mem = self.parseJSONMember(safeData) {
self.delegate?.didUpdateStatus(self, member: mem)
}
}
}
session.resume()
}
// Parsing JSON
func parseJSONMember(_ memberData: Data) -> MemberModel?{
// var member: [MemberModel] = []
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
do {
let decodedDataGetMember = try decoder.decode(MemberJSONFormat.self, from: memberData)
let id = decodedDataGetMember.results[0].id
let first_name = decodedDataGetMember.results[0].first_name
// let middle_name = decodedDataGetMember.results[0].middle_name
let last_name = decodedDataGetMember.results[0].last_name
let gender = decodedDataGetMember.results[0].gender
print(first_name)
let memberItem = MemberModel(id: id, first_name: first_name, last_name: last_name, gender: gender)
return memberItem
} catch {
self.delegate?.didFailWithError(error)
print("error")
return nil
}
}
}
