Installation
CocoaPods
CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:
$ gem install cocoapods
CocoaPods 1.1+ is required to build StorageManager.
To integrate StorageManager into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile
:
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '9.0'
use_frameworks!
target '<Your Target Name>' do
pod 'Dots'
end
Then, run the following command:
$ pod install
Carthage
Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.
You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:
$ brew update
$ brew install carthage
To integrate StorageManager into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile
:
github "iAmrSalman/Dots" ~> 0.5.0
Run carthage update
to build the framework and drag the built Dots.framework
into your Xcode project.
Swift Package Manager
The Swift Package Manager is a tool for automating the distribution of Swift code and is integrated into the swift
compiler. It is in early development, but StorageManager does support its use on supported platforms.
Once you have your Swift package set up, adding StorageManager as a dependency is as easy as adding it to the dependencies
value of your Package.swift
.
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/iAmrSalman/Dots.git", from: "0.5.0")
]
Usage
Making a Request
import Dots
Dots.defualt.request("<URL>") { (dot: Dot) in
print(dot.response) // HTTP URL response
print(dot.data) // server data
print(dot.error) // Errors from request processing
print(dot.json) // JSON dictionary [String: Any]
}
HTTP Methods
The HTTPMethod
enumeration lists the HTTP methods:
public enum HTTPMethod: String {
case options = "OPTIONS"
case get = "GET"
case head = "HEAD"
case post = "POST"
case put = "PUT"
case patch = "PATCH"
case delete = "DELETE"
case trace = "TRACE"
case connect = "CONNECT"
}
These values can be passed as the method
argument to the request
Function:
Dots.defualt.request("<URL>") // method defaults to `.get`
Dots.defualt.request("<URL>", method: .post)
Dots.defualt.request("<URL>", method: .put)
Dots.defualt.request("<URL>", method: .delete)
The request
method parameter defaults to .get
.
Parameter Encoding
GET Request With URL-Encoded Parameters
let parameters: Parameters = ["foo": "bar"]
Dots.defualt.request("<URL>", parameters: parameters) // defaults url encoding
Dots.defualt.request("<URL>", parameters: parameters, encoding: .url)
// <URL>?foo=bar
POST Request With URL-Encoded Parameters
let parameters: Parameters = [
"foo": "bar",
"baz": ["a", 1],
"qux": [
"x": 1,
"y": 2,
"z": 3
]
]
Dots.defualt.request("<URL>", method: .post, parameters: parameters) // defaults url encoding
Dots.defualt.request("<URL>", method: .post, parameters: parameters, encoding: .url)
//httpHeader: Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8
// HTTP body: foo=bar&baz[]=a&baz[]=1&qux[x]=1&qux[y]=2&qux[z]=3
POST Request With JSON-Encoded Parameters
let parameters: Parameters = [
"foo": [1,2,3],
"bar": [
"baz": "qux"
]
]
Dots.defualt.request("<URL>", method: .post, parameters: parameters, encoding: .json)
//HTTP header: Content-Type: application/json
// HTTP body: {"foo": [1, 2, 3], "bar": {"baz": "qux"}}
HTTP Headers
Adding a custom HTTP header to a Request
is supported directly in the global request
method. This makes it easy to attach HTTP headers to a Request
.
let headers: HTTPHeaders = [
"Authorization": "Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==",
"Accept": "application/json"
]
Dots.defualt.request("<URL>", headers: headers)
Concurrency
Choosing between Asynchronous and Synchronous is supported
Dots.defualt.request("<URL>", concurrency: .async) // concurrency defaults to `.async`
Dots.defualt.request("<URL>", concurrency: .sync)
Maximum concurrent requests
Customizing Maximum concurrent requests executing simultaneously is supported.
The defualt is checking if device is on cellular connection, maximum concurrent requests is restricted to 2, while Wi-Fi is executing up to 6 simultaneous requests.
let customDots = Dots(maxConcurrentOperation: <Int>)
customDots.request("<URL>")
