Alamofire multiple request

Question

I have tableView and I use Alamofire to send and get request from server. as you can see in picture, in my tableView I send multiple request in table's header and cell at index 0,1. if I send my request in one function it will too long to get response and can't control error for each request. what is best way to handle this problem?

thanks

Answer 1

You should create one request .

So by parsing your request you should set up your data source into an array , so each row will get the data from a single item of that array.

Then you would update your table view with this data source.

For instance:

1) Create a variable for data source (outside of methods):

var source : [Something]

2) Request all in a single request

Alamofire.request(_,_,_)
.responseJSON {
   // create a data source
   // this request should be a merge of your three request stated in your question
   // source can be set as [Something] for instance
}

3) In your cellForRow delegate method you should do something like this:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, 
  cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
{
   let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell( ... 
   dataForARow = self.source[indexPath.row]
   cell.label.text = dataForARow["name"] //etc ...
}

Multiple requests is fine just display your table cell OR header based on the response of each request.

Until you didn't receive response for any request set height to 0 for that particular cell or header.
