A barebones async-await Swift HTTP client with automatic JSON response parsing.
Add HTTP Client as a dependency through Xcode or directly to Package.swift:
.package(url: "https://github.com/joemasilotti/HTTP-Client", branch: "main")
import HTTP
let client = Client<Empty, Empty>()
let request = Request(url: url)
switch await client.request(request) {
case .success: print("Success!")
case .failure(let error): print(error.localizedDescription)
}Failure response objects are parsed when the response code is outside of the 200 range.
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)
switch await client.request(request) {
case .success(let response):
print("HTTP headers", response.headers)
print("User", response.value)
case .failure(let error):
print("Error", error.localizedDescription)
}When possible, a status code is also exposed.
import HTTP
let client = Client<Empty, Empty>()
let request = Request(url: url)
switch await client.request(request) {
case .success(let statusCode):
print("Status code", statusCode)
case .failure(let error):
print("Status code", error.statusCode ?? "(none)")
}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)
_ = await client.request(request)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
)
_ = await client.request(request)A user agent can also be set for all requests, assigning the "User-Agent" header.
import HTTP
HTTP.Global.userAgent = "Custom User Agent"By default, all encoding and decoding of keys to JSON is done by converting to snake case.
This can be changed via the global configuration.
import HTTP
HTTP.Global.keyDecodingStrategy = .useDefaultKeys
HTTP.Global.keyEncodingStrategy = .useDefaultKeys
