How to get Freddy working with AlamoFire in Swift? - swift

Question

I am trying to authenticate my users using an Alamofire POST request. I get an response object as a dictionary. I wish I could get a Freddy LoginResponse object from that dictionary. Swift is new to me.
import UIKit
import Alamofire
import Freddy
public struct LoginResponse {
public let Response: String
public let Success: Int
public let Time: String
}
extension LoginResponse: JSONDecodable {
public init(json value: JSON) throws {
Response = try value.string("Response")
Success = try value.int("Success")
Time = try value.string("Time")
}
}
class LoginViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var emailOutlet: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var passwordOutlet: UITextField!
#IBAction func LoginAction(sender: AnyObject){
var parameters = [String: AnyObject]()
parameters["email"] = self.emailOutlet.text
parameters["password"] = self.passwordOutlet.text
Alamofire.request(.POST, "https://cool.api/iot/users/login", parameters: parameters, encoding: .JSON)
.responseJSON
{ response in switch response.result {
case .Success(let JSON):
print("Success with JSON: \(JSON)")
let response = JSON as! NSDictionary
print(response["Response"]!)
// What I am trying !!
// do {
// let response = JSON as! NSDictionary
// // Assuming `json` has the JSON data
// let attrs = try JSON.array("SUCCESS")
// let theLoginResponseObject = try attrs.map(LoginResponse.init)
// } catch {
//
// }
case .Failure(let error):
print("Request failed with error: \(error)")
}
}
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.emailOutlet.text = "myemail#gmail.com"
self.passwordOutlet.text = "passwd"
}
}
The console outputs
Success with JSON: {
Response = "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJkZXZpY2VzIjpbImM5NGYyZjY0MDkwZmU4MWFmZjk5MGNkNTU0OTZhZjhkIiwiZjdmOGYzNWI0NDRiYmM3NzcxNzYxNjhlNTcxZjgzNjUiXSwiZW1haWwiOiJmcmFuY2VzY29hZmVycmFyb0BnbWFpbC5jb20iLCJleHAiOjE0NjU3MzcyOTUsImlkIjoiNTc0Y2E0NDkzMTcyODUwMDAxNjkzOGQ2Iiwicm9sZSI6Im1hc3RlciJ9.P-QxGCUTi1YWq46HJQlR2K-4S_DBKFxOLiyzqvE-r7S96XSxx02dpT8jOlZm4gx2qVrcj5wFyowJzy8HtU-y030I6OmftGe_dn2AgMJCD8dLXrRiRWfnWK5nhN6BvDJqCLyN_BopKGM2stEf7stavoPogy4HxBfg_hWIFJEwdHs";

You can use the following GET call to retrieve JSON data to use with Freddy.
Alamofire.request(.GET, "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?APPID=<123456>").responseJSON { (response) -> Void in
if response.result.isSuccess {
do {
let json = try JSON(data: response.data!)
let description = try json.array("weather")[0]["description"]
print(description)
} catch {
print("There is an error")
}
}
}
Or if you are using the latest AlamoFire as of August 2016:
Alamofire.request( "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?APPID=<123456>", withMethod: .get).responseJSON { (response) -> Void in
if response.result.isSuccess {
do {
let json = try JSON(data: response.data!)
let description = try json.array("weather")[0]["description"]
print(description)
} catch {
print("There is an error")
}
}
}
