How to create a struct to match this Json - swift

Question

I am trying to fetch a random user from an api and I created a struct called result to match the json from the api.
This is what I came up with but I am sure this is not the right way to do it!
When I run this I get [] as a result so I want to know how I can change this code in order to match the json
#State var results : result?
struct result : Codable {
var results : [user]
struct user : Codable{
var gender : String
var name : name
var location : location
var email:String
struct name : Codable{
var title : String
var first : String
var last : String
}
struct location : Codable {
let street : street
let city : String
let state : String
let country : String
let postcode : Int
struct street :Codable {
var number : String
var name : String
}
}
struct login : Codable {
var uuid : String
var username : String
var password : String
}
}
}
This is how the Json looks
{
"results": [
{
"gender": "male",
"name": {
"title": "mr",
"first": "brad",
"last": "gibson"
},
"location": {

You want to learn how to do this on your own but there are tools on the web that can easily help you create a struct from a JSON. This is a really good one.
You were close so make sure you dissect the code and notice the differences
import SwiftUI

let json = """
