How to get json response using alamofire in iOS Swift?

Question

I have been trying to get json response from url using alamofire. Created model, apirouter and api client class.

its shows error

 failure(Alamofire.AFError.responseSerializationFailed(reason: 
  Alamofire.AFError.ResponseSerializationFailureReason.decodingFailed(error: 
   Swift.DecodingError.keyNotFound(CodingKeys(stringValue: "variables", intValue: nil), Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [_JSONKey(stringValue: "Index 0", intValue: 0)], debugDescription: "No value associated with key CodingKeys(stringValue: \"variables\", intValue: nil) (\"variables\").", underlyingError: nil)))))

Here is my postman json response:

   [
{
    "id": "00602c70-fc8a-11e9-ad1d-2abe2670111d",
    "resourceType": "Task",
    "name": "My Tasks",
    "owner": null,
    "query": {
        "assigneeExpression": "${currentUser()}",
        "taskVariables": [],
        "processVariables": [],
        "caseInstanceVariables": [],
        "orQueries": []
    },
    "properties": {
        "variables": [
            {
                "name": "loanAmount",
                "label": "Loan Amount"
            },
            {
                "name": "firstName",
                "label": "First Name"
            }
        ],
        "color": "#555555",
        "showUndefinedVariable": false,
        "description": "Tasks assigned to me",
        "refresh": false,
        "priority": -10
      }
    }
   ]

My trying get values for id, name and properties -> variables -> name and label from json response.

Here is model class:

  import Foundation

public struct Filter: Codable {

let id: String
let name: String
let properties: [variables]


}

public struct variables: Codable {

   let name: String
   let label: String

}

Here is code for alamofire:

    private static func performRequest<T:Decodable>(route:APIRouter, decoder: JSONDecoder = JSONDecoder(), completion:@escaping (AFResult<T>)->Void) -> DataRequest {

    return AF.request(route)
                    .responseDecodable (decoder: decoder){ (response: AFDataResponse<T>) in
                        completion(response.result)
                        print("framework response::",response.result)


    }


}


  public static func getFilter(completion:@escaping (AFResult<[Filter]>)->Void) {
       let jsonDecoder = JSONDecoder()
    performRequest(route: APIRouter.getFilter, decoder: jsonDecoder, completion: completion)
   }

Any help much appreciates pls...

Answer 1

your model class should be like the below.

import Foundation

public struct Filter: Codable {

let id: String
let name: String
let properties: Properties


}

public struct Properties: Codable {
   let variables: [variables]
   let color: String
   let showUndefinedVariable: Bool
   let description: String
   let refresh: Bool
   let priority: Int

}

public struct variables: Codable {

   let name: String
   let label: String

}

Answer 2

Did you try this one? This is what it should be

public struct Filter: Codable {
    let id: String
    let name: String
    let properties: Property
}

public struct Property: Codable {
    let variables: [Variable]
}

public struct Variable: Codable {
    let name: String
    let label: String

}

Answer 3

The error message you're getting is pretty clear: No value associated with key CodingKeys(stringValue: \"variables\"

You're attempting to decode the JSON into the Filter struct, but the JSON has no variables property. You could fix this by introducing a new Properties struct that will wrap the variables property, like this:

struct Filter: Codable {
    let id: String
    let name: String
    let properties: Properties
}

struct Properties: Codable {
    let variables: Variables
}

struct Variables: Codable {
    let name: String
    let label: String
}

Also, as you'll see in this snippet, it's convention to make the write the type names in CamelCase, so struct Variables instead of struct variables .
