How to populate my tableview with a mutablearray from json

Question

So I\'m fetching data from a url which is in a json format. I\'m trying to display the data in my tableview but, even though it feels simple, I can\'t figure out how to do it.<

Answer 1

Well first change the function to return your company array :

func getJSON() -> NSMutableArray {

}

By the end of the for loop return the company array

for company in companies {

 }

After your array is populated, return the array inside this block:

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), { 

    return companyArray

})

And after task.resume() return the array:

return companyArray

From anywhere you wanna call this class and get the array :

Get a reference of the class

Let companyModal = CompanyModel()

And in anywhere you have your table view and the class let's say in viewDidLoad, you should first have NSMutableArray.

var arraySource = NSMutableArray()

And in viewDidLoad :

arraySource = companyModal.getJSON()

And to show the data in tableView do :

Mytableview.reloadData()
