RPHTTPServiceClient is a Type-safe JSON/HTTP client for iOS.
RPHTTPServiceClient turns your JSON/HTTP API into a swift enum (built upon Moya)
// Github public API
enum UserServiceAPI {
case getUserInfos(username: String)
case getUserRepos(username: String)
}
// MARK: - TargetType Protocol Implementation
extension UserServiceAPI : TargetType {
var baseURL: URL { return URL(string: "https://api.github.com")! }
var path: String {
switch self {
case .getUserInfos(let username):
return "/users/\(username)"
case .getUserRepos(let username):
return "/users/\(username)/repos"
}
}
...
Check UserServiceAPI.swift for more infos
RPHTTPServiceClient uses ObjectMapper in order to safely map your HTTP API calls into objects.
Consider the following User Model:
class User: NSObject, Mappable {
var login : String!
var id : Int?
var avatar_url : String?
var gravatar_id : String?
var url : String!
var html_url : String!
var repos_url : String?
var type : String?
var name : String!
var company : String?
var blog : String?
var location : String?
var email : String!
var bio : String?
var public_repos : Int!
var public_gists : Int?
var followers : Int?
var following : Int?
var created_at : String?
var updated_at : String?
required init?(map: Map) {
}
func mapping(map: Map) {
login <- map["login"]
id <- map["id"]
avatar_url <- map["avatar_url"]
gravatar_id <- map["gravatar_id"]
url <- map["url"]
html_url <- map["html_url"]
repos_url <- map["repos_url"]
type <- map["type"]
name <- map["name"]
company <- map["company"]
blog <- map["blog"]
location <- map["location"]
email <- map["email"]
bio <- map["bio"]
public_repos <- map["public_repos"]
public_gists <- map["public_gists"]
followers <- map["followers"]
following <- map["following"]
created_at <- map["created_at"]
updated_at <- map["updated_at"]
}
}Once your class implements Mappable, ObjectMapper allows you to easily convert to and from JSON.
Next you'll want to subclass RPMoyaServiceClient in order to automagically perform API calls and object mapping:
class UserService: RPMoyaServiceClient<UserServiceAPI> {
init() {
let provider = MoyaProvider<UserServiceAPI>()
super.init(provider: provider)
}
func fetchUser(username: String, success: @escaping (User) -> Void, error: (Swift.Error) -> Void) -> Cancellable {
let target = UserServiceAPI.getUserInfos(username: username)
return super.requestObject(target: target, success: success) { (error) in
print(error)
}
}
}The RPMoyaServiceClient.swift class provides the required methods to perform the mapping actions
and return a single mapped object or an array of mapped objects
// request and map a JSON String to a single object implementing ObjectMapper's Mappable Protocol
open func requestObject<T: Mappable>(target: Target, success: @escaping (_ result: T) -> Void, failure: @escaping (_ error: MoyaNetworkClientError) -> Void) -> Cancellable
// request and map a JSON String to an array of objects implementing ObjectMapper's Mappable Protocol
open func requestArray<T: Mappable>(target: Target, success: @escaping (_ result: [T]) -> Void, failure: @escaping (_ error: MoyaNetworkClientError) -> Void) -> CancellableRPMoyaServiceClient.swift API calls have a Cancellable return type, meaning you can use the returned
value of these calls to handle cancellation of requests
RPMoyaServiceClient.swift also automatically handle http status codes and return the appropriate
result of your request, be it the requested resource, a network error, or even an appropriate
JSON-wrapped error mapped into an object if this is what your API is serving.

If you have a project that utilizes, extends or provides tooling for RPHTTPServiceClient, please submit a PR with a link to your project in this section of the README.
- Improve error handling. Perhaps using
throws
RPHTTPServiceClient can be added to your project using CocoaPods by adding the following lines to your Podfile:
pod 'RPHTTPServiceClient', '~> 0.9'
