HTTP Client

A barebones Swift HTTP client with automatic JSON response parsing.

Installation

Add HTTP Client as a dependency through Xcode or directly to Package.swift:

.package(url: "https://github.com/joemasilotti/HTTP-Client", branch: "main")

Usage

GET request with no expected success or error response object types.

import HTTP

let client = Client<Empty, Empty>()
let request = Request(url: url)
client.request(request) { result in
    switch result {
    case .success: print("Success!")
    case .failure(let error): print(error.localizedDescription)
    }
}

POST request with both HTTP body and expected success and response object types.

import HTTP

struct Registration: Codable {
    let email: String
    let password: String
}

struct User: Codable {
    let id: Int
    let isAdmin: Bool
}

struct RegistrationError: LocalizedError, Codable, Equatable {
    let status: Int
    let message: String

    var errorDescription: String? { message }
}

let client = Client<User, RegistrationError>()
let registration = Registration(email: "joe@masilotti.com", password: "password")
let request = BodyRequest(url: url, method: .post, body: registration)
client.request(request) { result in
    switch result {
    case .success(let response):
        print("HTTP headers", response.headers)
        print("User", response.value)
    case .failure(let error):
        print("Error", error.localizedDescription)
    }
}

HTTP headers can also be set on Request.

import HTTP

let client = Client<Empty, Empty>()
let headers = ["Cookie": "tasty_cookie=strawberry"]
let request = Request(url: url, headers: headers)
client.request(request) { _ in }

URLRequest can be used directly if you require more fine grained control.

import HTTP

let client = Client<Empty, Empty>()
let request = URLRequest(
    url: url,
    cachePolicy: .reloadIgnoringLocalCacheData,
    timeoutInterval: 42.0
)
client.request(request) { _ in }
