An easy way to manage namespace of multiple URL endpoints in Swift

What’s URLRouter ?

URLRouter is provides an easy way to manage multiple URL endpoints in Swift. It provides a simple interface for managing multiple endpoints and allows developers to interact with them in a single, unified manner. It also provides a way for developers to create custom endpoints DSL(Domain-Specific Languages) and to manage their own settings for each endpoint. Additionally, it provides a way to track the status of each endpoint and to easily detect any changes or updates that have been made.

Similar to Swift Evolution’s Regex builder DSL, URL string literal and a more powerful pattern result builder to help make Swift URL string processing fast and easy and without mistakes. Ultimately, with APIRouter, changes are easy to detect and useful for maintenance.

Installation ?

  • Using Swift Package Manager

    import PackageDescription
    
    let package = Package(
      name: "SomeApp",
      dependencies: [
        .Package(url: "https://github.com/devyhan/URLRouter", majorVersion: "<LATEST_RELEASES_VERSION>"),
      ]
    )

Configure URLRouter ?

Implement URLs Namespace

  • To implement URLs namespace we create a new type that will house the domain and behavior of the URLs by conforming to RouterProtocol.

import URLRouter

public enum URLs: RouterProtocol {
  ...
}

HttpHeader declaration

  • Using HeaderBuilder to httpHeader declaration.

Request {
  ...
  Header {
    Field("HEADERVALUE", forKey: "HEADERKEY")
    Field("HEADERVALUE1", forKey: "HEADERKEY1")
    Field("HEADERVALUE2", forKey: "HEADERKEY2")
    ...
  }
  ...
}
  • Using Dictionary to httpHeader declaration.

Request {
  ...
  Header([
    "HEADERKEY": "HEADERVALUE",
    "HEADERKEY1": "HEADERVALUE1",
    "HEADERKEY2": "HEADERVALUE2",
    ...
  ])
  ...
}

HttpBody declaration

  • Using HeaderBuilder to httpHeader declaration.

Request {
  ...
  Body {
    Field("VALUE", forKey: "KEY")
    Field("VALUE1", forKey: "KEY1")
    Field("VALUE2", forKey: "KEY2")
    ...
  }
  ...
}
  • Using Dictionary<String, Any> to httpHeader declaration.

Request {
  ...
  Body([
    "KEY": "VALUE",
    "KEY1": "VALUE1",
    "KEY2": "VALUE2",
    ...
  ])
  ...
}

HttpMethod declaration

  • Using Method(_ method:) to httpMethod declaration.

Request {
  ...
  Method(.get)
  ...
}
  • Using static let method: to httpMethod declaration.

Request {
  ...
  Method.get
  ...
}

URL declaration

  • Using URL(_ url:) to URL declaration.

Request {
  ...
  URL("https://www.baseurl.com/comments?postId=1")
  ...
}
  • Using URLBuilder to URL declaration and URLComponents declaration.

Request {
  ...
  URL {
    Scheme(.https)
    Host("www.baseurl.com")
    Path("comments")
    Query("postId", value: "1")
  }
  ...
}
// https://www.baseurl.com/comments?postId=1
  • Using BaseURL(_ url:) for URL override.

Request {
  BaseURL("https://www.baseurl.com")
  URL {
    Path("comments")
    Query("postId", value: "1")
  }
}
// https://www.baseurl.com/comments?postId=1

Router {
  BaseURL("https://www.baseurl.com")
  Request {
    URL {
      Scheme(.https)
      Host("www.overrideurl.com")
      Path("comments")
      Query("postId", value: "1")
    }
  }
}
// https://www.overrideurl.com/comments?postId=1

URL Scheme declaration

  • Using Scheme(_ scheme:) to Scheme declaration.

Request {
  ...
  URL {
    Scheme(.https)
    ...
  }
  ...
}
  • Using static let scheme: to Scheme declaration.

Request {
  ...
  URL {
    Scheme.https
    ...
  }
  ...
}

URL Query declaration

  • Using Dictionary<String, String?> to Query declaration.

Request {
  ...
  URL {
    Query(
      [
        "first": "firstQuery",
        "second": "secondQuery",
        ...
      ]
    )
  }
  ...
}
  • Using Query(_, value:) to Query declaration.

Request {
  ...
  URL {
    Query("test", value: "query")
    Query("test", value: "query")
    ...
  }
  ...
}
  • Using Field(_, forKey:) to Query declaration.

Request {
  ...
  URL {
    Query {
      Field("firstQuery", forKey: "first")
      Field("secondQuery", forKey: "second")
      ...
    }
    ...
  }
  ...
}

How to configure and use URLRouter in a real world project?

  • Just create URLRouter.swift in your project! Happy hacking! ?

import URLRouter

  • Using URLRouter to provide URLRequest.

let repositoryInfo: URLs.RepositoryInfo = .init(name: "Hello-World", description: "This is your first repository", homePage: "https://github.com", private: false, hasIssues: true, hasProjects: true, hasWiki: false)
let request = URLs.createAnOrganizationRepository(organizationName: "SomeOrganization", repositoryInfo: repositoryInfo).router?.urlRequest

URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
...
  • Using URLRouter to provide deeplink URL and check to match this URL.

class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
  ... 
  func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey: Any]) -> Bool {
    let detailDeeplink = URLs.deeplink(path: "detail").router.url
    if detailDeeplink == url {
      ...
