Alamofire Upload get returned JSON - swift

Question

question on getting at the result data in an Alamofire.upload call.
I am sending multipart form data to a server using the following code:
sessionManager.upload(
multipartFormData: { multipartFormData in
if let name = currentPlace.name,
let data = name.data(using:String.Encoding.utf8) {
multipartFormData.append(data, withName: "placename", mimeType: "text/plain")
}
if let lat = currentPlace.location?.coordinate.latitude {
multipartFormData.append(String(describing: lat).data(using:String.Encoding.utf8)!, withName: "latitude", mimeType: "text/plain")
}
if let lon = currentPlace.location?.coordinate.longitude {
multipartFormData.append(String(describing: lon).data(using:String.Encoding.utf8)!, withName: "longitude", mimeType: "text/plain")
}
multipartFormData.append((User.current.scanMode.rawValue).data(using:String.Encoding.utf8)!, withName: "state", mimeType: "text/plain")
},
to: (url?.absoluteString)!, headers: headers,
encodingCompletion: { encodingResult in
switch encodingResult {
case .success(let upload, _, _):
upload.responseJSON { response in
print(response.request) // original URL request
print(response.response) // URL response
print(response.data) // server data
print(response.result) // result of response serialization
if let JSON = response.result.value as? NSArray {
for element in JSON {
print(element)
}
}
}
case .failure(let encodingError):
print(encodingError)
}
})
My challenge is to get the value of response.result.value in a form that I can validate. The current debug output is:
(lldb) po response.result.value
▿ Optional<Any>
▿ some : 4 elements
▿ 0 : 2 elements
- key : code
- value : 200
▿ 1 : 2 elements
- key : id
- value : 78230c53954a3adbf14b49cda127bf55
▿ 2 : 2 elements
- key : message
- value : Successfully updated OID to DISTRIBUTED.
▿ 3 : 2 elements
- key : state
- value : DISTRIBUTED
Looks like a array, but can't seem to get this casted or reflected into something I can use. Usually I would use EVOReflection to get at this data as in:
sessionManager.request((url?.absoluteString)!, method: .get, parameters: postParameters, encoding: URLEncoding.httpBody, headers: headers)
.responseObject { (response: DataResponse<AssetStateResponse>) in
if let response = response.result.value {
completionHandler(response)
} else {
// LATER: Better error handling
}
}
Any help appreciated, have been looking at this for a few days now, missing something simple I suspect.

Answer 1

That respose.result.value looks like a dict, not an array.
Did you try casting it that way?
if let jsonDict = response.result.value as? NSDictionary {
print(jsonDict)
}

Answer 2

Alamofire response will result in a dictionary.
So your response.result.value is a dictionary
print(response.result) After this line call a function funcJSONParsing
self.funcJSONParsing(response.result.value!)
Write the parsing in a separate function like below.
func funcJSONParsing(let json:AnyObject)
{
if json is NSDictionary{
let jsonResponse = json as! NSDictionary
//Parse the below jsonResponse according to your needs
}
}

Answer 3

upload.responseJSON { (result) in
do {
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
let model = try decoder.decode(FormResponse2.self,from: result.data!)
let selectDoctorForChat = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "SelectDoctorForChat") as! SelectDoctorForChat
selectDoctorForChat.chatFormId = model.chat?.id
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(selectDoctorForChat, animated: true)
} catch let parsingError {
print("Error", parsingError)
}
// MARK: - FormResponse
struct FormResponse2: Codable {
let chat: Chat2?
}
// MARK: - Chat
struct Chat2: Codable {
let id: Int?
let patient, doctor: String?
let specialty: Specialty22?
let state, createdAt: String?
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case id, patient, doctor, specialty, state
case createdAt = "created_at"
}
}
// MARK: - Specialty
struct Specialty22: Codable {
let id: Int?
let name: String?
}
