Return specific object in JSON array using swift

Question

Using a struct I am getting data from JSON via a web API and I would like to print all of the data for a specific object eg I would like to print all Product Id's from the response.

Here is my code:

    struct Varients: Decodable {
    let ProductId: String
    let Colour: String
    let name: String
}

struct varientsResponse: Decodable {
    let varients: [Varients]
}

View Controller:

let url = URL(string: "http://192.168.1.113:8000/getvarient/?url=https://www.prettylittlething.com/stone-abstract-marble-print-structured-corset.html")
    guard let requestUrl = url else { fatalError() }
    // Create URL Request
    var request = URLRequest(url: requestUrl)
    // Specify HTTP Method to use
    request.httpMethod = "GET"
    let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) in
        
        // Check if Error took place
        if let error = error {
            print("Error took place \(error)")
            return
        }
        
        // Read HTTP Response Status code
        if let response = response as? HTTPURLResponse {
            print("Response HTTP Status code: \(response.statusCode)")
        }
        
        // Convert HTTP Response Data to a simple String
        if let data = data, let dataString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
            let varientResponse = try? JSONDecoder().decode(varientsResponse.self, from: data)
            print(varientResponse)
            
            
       
        }
        
    }
    task.resume()

I can return the varientsResponse but I obviously get the full JSON response, I can also return the varientsResponse.varients[0].productId but I would like to be able to get a full array of all productID's in the JSON

Answer 1

To answer your initial question and then also your follow up question in the comments.

You can access the Colour and the ID for a specific item like this:

varientResponse.variants.map { varient in 
  
  // Save to database by accessing like this:
  // Colour - varient.Colour
  // ID - varient.ProductID

}

Unrelated to your question, but normally Structs are named as singular. Which makes sense as each instance of your struct will be a singular Varient .
