Make POST request with alamofire - swift

Question

I my swift app . I want to create a request POST with alamofire
The request
$ curl \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-X POST -d '{ "user": { "email": "user#example.com", "password": "1234" } }' \
http://localhost:3000/users/sign_in
My code
let crendetials = ["user": ["email": "bolo#me.com", "password": "PASSWORD"]]
var postsEndpoint: String = "http://localhost:3000/users/sign_in"
Alamofire.request(.POST, postsEndpoint, parameters: crendetials, encoding: .JSON)
.responseJSON { (request, response, data, error) in
if let anError = error
{
// got an error in getting the data, need to handle it
println("error calling POST on /users/sign_in")
println(error)
}
else if let data: AnyObject = data
{
// handle the results as JSON, without a bunch of nested if loops
let post = JSON(data)
// to make sure it posted, print the results
println(data)
}
}
I have got this error
request: <NSMutableURLRequest: 0x170208be0> { URL: http://localhost:3000/users/sign_in } || response: nil || object: Optional(<>) || error: Optional(Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1004 "The operation couldn’t be completed.

If you're testing with a real iPhone, you should change the host from localhost to your Mac's ip address and make sure you iPhone and Mac in the same wireless network.
If you're testing with a simulator, it should work. Maybe you can change localhost to 127.0.0.1.
The error is due to wrong url. You can test in Safari in your device to see if it works.
