Alamofire handle bool response

Question

I use Alamofire in my app to work with network request, along with Object Mapper. It's fine when i have JSON response, but now i need to handle response that simply return 200 as status code, and value is true .

I have no idea how to map it to Swift Bool value, i simply have Data? in response, and i can't figure out how to transform it to Swift Bool type.

So, i only have Alamofire public struct DataResponse<Value> {...} as response.

Answer 1

Can you use responseJSON instead and cast the response value to Bool ?

if let myBool = response.value as? Bool {
...
}

Answer 2

Solve it by following - cast Data to String , then try to form Bool from raw string value.

.request(request: apiRequest,
               completionSuccess: { response  in
                guard let data = response.value,
                      let str = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8),
                      let resultValue = str.toBool() else {
                        completion(.failure(APIError.emptyData))
                        return
                }
                completion(Result.success(resultValue))

String extension:

extension String {
  func toBool() -> Bool?{
    if self == "true" {
      return true
    }
    if self == "false" {
      return false
    }
    return nil
  }
}
