Make REST API call in Swift

Question

I\'m trying to use Swift to make a GET call to a REST API, and have tried to follow numerous tutorials, but can\'t figure it out. Either because I cannot figure out how to

Answer 1

Api Call using Model Class

    let urlString = "http://--.154.--.78/------/index.php?route=api/coupon/all"

    let url = URL(string: urlString)
    var request = URLRequest(url: url!)
    request.httpMethod = "GET"

    URLSession.shared.dataTask(with:request) { (data, response, error) in
        if error != nil {
            print(error)
        } else {
            do {

                let parsedDictionaryArray = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!) as! [String:AnyObject]
                print(parsedDictionaryArray)

                if let arry = parsedDictionaryArray["data"] as? [[String:AnyObject]] {
                for dic in arry {
                    let name = dic["name"]
                    let descriptionData = dic["description"]
                    self.modelReference.append(model(name: name as! String, descriptionStr: descriptionData as! String))
                    print(name!)
                }
                }
            } catch let error as NSError {
                print(error)
            }
        }

        }.resume()

create a variable and connect with model class

var modelReference = [model]()

create a model class New -> swift class

import Foundation
class model : NSObject{
var name : String
var descriptionStr: String

init(name : String, descriptionStr: String)
{
    self.name = name
    self.descriptionStr = descriptionStr
}

}

then we can connect with our table view objects

let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TableViewCellID")as! TableViewCell
    cell.listName.text = modelReference[indexPath.row].name
