How to use NSURLConnection completionHandler with swift

Question

Does anybody know how handlers (blocks) work in swift? I am trying to get this code running but i can\'t find any documentation of the right syntax for the completionHandler

Answer 1

sendAsynchronousRequest has been deprecated in newer versions of Swift. Move to dataTaskWithRequest, luckily it is used pretty much the same way

let request:NSURLRequest = NSURLRequest(URL:NSURL(string:"http://YOUR_DESIRED_URL.com")!)
let config = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
let session = NSURLSession(configuration: config)

let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: {(data, response, error) in

});

task.resume()
