Cannot convert value of type '[[ModelName]?]' to expected argument type '[ModelName].Type'

Question

I have created a model class from [ https://jsonmaster.github.io/#][1] this link in codable, I am getting this kind of error Cannot convert value of type '[[BookingMasterModel]?]' to expected argument type '[BookingMasterModel].Type' Actually I am very new to it please share if there is the solution for it

//MyOrdersModel

import Foundation

struct MyOrdersModel: Codable {

    let BookingMasterModel: [BookingMasterModel]?
    let RESPONSE: String?
    let RESID: String?

    private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case BookingMasterModel = "BookingMasterModel"
        case RESPONSE = "RESPONSE"
        case RESID = "RES_ID"
    }

    init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
        let values = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
        BookingMasterModel = try values.decodeIfPresent([BookingMasterModel].self, forKey: .BookingMasterModel)
        RESPONSE = try values.decodeIfPresent(String.self, forKey: .RESPONSE)
        RESID = try values.decodeIfPresent(String.self, forKey: .RESID)
    }

    func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws {
        var container = encoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
        try container.encodeIfPresent(BookingMasterModel, forKey: .BookingMasterModel)
        try container.encodeIfPresent(RESPONSE, forKey: .RESPONSE)
        try container.encodeIfPresent(RESID, forKey: .RESID)
    }

}

this Booking Master model

Answer 1

I would recommend you to use your struct without coding keys because Codable protocol can do this for you.

But your error comes from wrong naming of struct properties. You named your MyOrdersModel property BookingMasterModel same as BookingMasterModel . Replace this variable name with small capital letter.

let bookingMasterModel: [BookingMasterModel]?

also replace let keyword of all properties to var

var bookingMasterModel: [BookingMasterModel]?
var RESPONSE: String?
var RESID: String?

do the same in BookingMasterModel struct.

Now, finally delete all coding keys and inits to make it easier.

struct MyOrdersModel: Codable {

    var bookingMasterModel: [BookingMasterModel]?
    var RESPONSE: String?
    var RESID: String?

}

struct BookingMasterModel: Codable {

    var AMOUNT: String?
    var APPTDATE: String?
    var CANCELLEDON: String?
    var COUNT: String?
    var DATE: String?
    var MOBILE: String?
    var NAMES: String?
    var ORDERBY: String?
    var ORDERMODE: String?
    var ORDERNO: String?
    var REMINDER: String?
    var SERVICEDON: String?
    var STATUS: String?
}
