سؤال

قرأت لغة البرمجة Swift من قبل شركة آبل في iBooks و لكن لا يمكن معرفة كيفية جعل طلب http (شيء مثل الضفيرة) في سويفت.هل أنا بحاجة إلى استيراد Obj-C الطبقات أو هل أنا فقط بحاجة إلى استيراد الافتراضي المكتبات ؟ أم أنه ليس من الممكن تقديم طلب HTTP بناء على الأم رمز سويفت ؟

هل كانت مفيدة؟

المحلول

يمكنك استخدام URL, URLRequest و URLSession أو NSURLConnection كما كنت تفعل عادة في Objective-C.علما بأن دائرة الرقابة الداخلية 7.0 وما بعدها, URLSession هو المفضل.

باستخدام URLSession

تهيئة a URL كائن ، URLSessionDataTask من URLSession.ثم تشغيل المهمة مع resume().

let url = URL(string: "http://www.stackoverflow.com")!

let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) {(data, response, error) in
    guard let data = data else { return }
    print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!)
}

task.resume()

باستخدام NSURLConnection

أولا تهيئة a URL و URLRequest:

let url = URL(string: "http://www.stackoverflow.com")!
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST" 

ثم, يمكنك تحميل طلب بشكل متزامن مع:

NSURLConnection.sendAsynchronousRequest(request, queue: OperationQueue.main) {(response, data, error) in
    guard let data = data else { return }
    print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!)
}

أو يمكنك تهيئة NSURLConnection:

let connection = NSURLConnection(request: request, delegate:nil, startImmediately: true)

فقط تأكد من تعيين مندوب إلى شيء آخر غير nil واستخدام مندوب أساليب العمل مع استجابة البيانات الواردة.

I am calling the json on login button click

@IBAction func loginClicked(sender : AnyObject) {

    var request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: kLoginURL)) // Here, kLogin contains the Login API.

    var session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()

    request.HTTPMethod = "POST"

    var err: NSError?
    request.HTTPBody = NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(self.criteriaDic(), options: nil, error: &err) // This Line fills the web service with required parameters.
    request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
    request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")

    var task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: {data, response, error -> Void in
        var strData = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
        var err1: NSError?
        var json2 = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(strData.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding), options: .MutableLeaves, error:&err1 ) as NSDictionary

        println("json2 :\(json2)")

        if(err) {
            println(err!.localizedDescription)
        }
        else {
            var success = json2["success"] as? Int
            println("Success: \(success)")
        }
    })

    task.resume()
}

Here, I have made a seperate dictionary for the parameters.

var params = ["format":"json", "MobileType":"IOS","MIN":"f8d16d98ad12acdbbe1de647414495ec","UserName":emailTxtField.text,"PWD":passwordTxtField.text,"SigninVia":"SH"]as NSDictionary
    return params
}

// You can add your own sets of parameter here.

You can use Just, a python-requests style HTTP library.

Some example of sending HTTP request with Just:

// synchronous GET request with URL query a=1
let r = Just.get("https://httpbin.org/get", params:["a":1])

// asynchronous POST request with form value and file uploads
Just.post(
    "http://justiceleauge.org/member/register",
    data: ["username": "barryallen", "password":"ReverseF1ashSucks"],
    files: ["profile_photo": .URL(fileURLWithPath:"flash.jpeg", nil)]
) { (r)
    if (r.ok) { /* success! */ }
}

In both cases, the result of a request r can be accessed in ways similar to python-request:

r.ok            // is the response successful?
r.statusCode    // status code of response
r.content       // response body as NSData?
r.text          // response body as text?
r.json          // response body parsed by NSJSONSerielization

Using this library in synchronous mode in a playground is the closest thing to cURL one can get in Swift.

In Swift 4.1 and Xcode 9.4.1.

                let response = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: []) as? [String: AnyObject]
                print(response!)
                //Your code here                    
            } catch let error as NSError {
                print(error)
            }
        }

        task.resume()

    }

}

If you have interest to use this function in SharedClass

//My shared class
import UIKit
class SharedClass: NSObject {

static let sharedInstance = SharedClass()

func postRequestFunction(apiName: String , parameters: String, onCompletion: @escaping (_ success: Bool, _ error: Error?, _ result: [String: Any]?)->()) {

    var URL =  "your URL here/index.php/***?"

    URL = URL.replacingOccurrences(of: "***", with: apiName)

    var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: URL)!)
    request.setValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
    request.httpMethod = "POST"
    print("shared URL : \(request)")
    request.httpBody = parameters.data(using: .utf8)

    var returnRes:[String:Any] = [:]
    let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in

        if let error = error {
            onCompletion(false, error, nil)
        } else {
            guard let data = data else {
                onCompletion(false, error, nil)
                return
            }

            if let httpStatus = response as? HTTPURLResponse, httpStatus.statusCode == 200 {
                do {
                   returnRes = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: []) as! [String : Any]
                    onCompletion(true, nil, returnRes)

                } catch let error as NSError {
                   onCompletion(false, error, nil)
                }
            } else {
                onCompletion(false, error, nil)
            }
        }
    }
    task.resume()
}


private override init() {

}

And finally call this function like this....

SharedClass.sharedInstance.postRequestFunction(apiName: "Your API name", parameters: parameters) { (success, error, result) in
    print(result!)
    if success {
        //Your code here
    } else {
        print(error?.localizedDescription ?? "")
    }
}

A simple Swift 2.0 approach to making a HTTP GET request

The HTTP request is asynchronous so you need a way to get the returned value from the HTTP Request. This approach uses Notifiers and is spread over two classes.

The example is to check the username and password for an identifier token using the website http://www.example.com/handler.php?do=CheckUserJson&json= That is the file is called handler.php and has a switch statement on the do parameter to get a RESTful approach.

In the viewDidLoad we setup the NotifierObserver, set up the json and make the call to the getHTTPRequest function. It will return to the function checkedUsernameAndPassword with the returned parameter from the http request.

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // setup the Notification observer to catch the result of check username and password
    NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: "checkedUsernameAndPassword:", name: CHECK_USERNAME_AND_PASSWORD, object: nil)        
    let username = GlobalVariables.USER_NAME
    let password = GlobalVariables.PASSWORD
    // check username and password
    if let jsonString = Utility.checkUsernameAndPasswordJson(username, password:password){
        print("json string returned = \(jsonString)")
        let url = CHECKUSERJSON+jsonString
        // CHECKUSERJSON = http://www.example.com/handler.php?do=CheckUserJson&json=
        // jsonString = {\"username\":\"demo\",\"password\":\"demo\"}"
        // the php script handles a json request and returns a string identifier           
        Utility.getHTTPRequest(url,notifierId: CHECK_USERNAME_AND_PASSWORD)
        // the returned identifier is sent to the checkedUsernaeAndPassword function when it becomes availabel.
    }
}

There are two static functions in Utility.swift first to encode the json and then to do the HTTP call.

    static func checkUsernameAndPasswordJson(username: String, password: String) -> String?{
    let para:NSMutableDictionary = NSMutableDictionary()
        para.setValue("demo", forKey: "username")
        para.setValue("demo", forKey: "password")
    let jsonData: NSData
    do{
        jsonData = try NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(para, options: NSJSONWritingOptions())
        let jsonString = NSString(data: jsonData, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) as! String
        return jsonString
    } catch _ {
        print ("UH OOO")
        return nil
    }
}

and the Http request

    static func getHTTPRequest (url:String , notifierId: String) -> Void{
    let urlString = url
    let config = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
    let session = NSURLSession(configuration: config, delegate: nil, delegateQueue: nil)
    let safeURL = urlString.stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters(NSCharacterSet.URLQueryAllowedCharacterSet())!
    if let url = NSURL(string: safeURL){
        let request  = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url)
        request.HTTPMethod = "GET"
        request.timeoutInterval = 60
        let taskData = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: {
            (data:NSData?, response:NSURLResponse?, error:NSError?) -> Void in
            if (data != nil) {
                let result = NSString(data: data! , encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
                sendNotification (notifierId, message: String(result), num: 0)
            }else{
                  sendNotification (notifierId, message: String(UTF8String: nil), num: -1)                    }
        })
    taskData.resume()
    }else{
        print("bad urlString = \(urlString)")
    }
}

The sendNotification function completes the circle. Notice that in teh Observer there is a ":" at the end of the selector string. This allows the notification to carry a payload in userInfo. I give this a String and an Int.

    static func sendNotification (key: String, message:String?, num: Int?){
    NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName(
        key,
        object: nil,
        userInfo:   (["message": message!,
                      "num": "\(num!)"])
    )
}

Note that using HTTP is oldFashioned, prefer HTTPS see How do I load an HTTP URL with App Transport Security enabled in iOS 9?

Using URLSession + Swift 5

Just adding to cezar's answer, if you want to make web request using Apple's URLSession class, there are multiple way to do the task

  1. Simple GET Request with URL
  2. Simple GET Request with URL and Parameters
  3. Simple GET Request with URL with Error Handlings
  4. Simple POST Request with URL, Parameters with Error Handlings

1. Simple GET Request with URL

func simpleGetUrlRequest()
    {
        let url = URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/get")!

        let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) {(data, response, error) in
            guard let data = data else { return }
            print("The response is : ",String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!)
            //print(NSString(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue) as Any)
        }
        task.resume()
    }

Note : Make sure You must add "NSAppTransportSecurity" key in pList for http requests

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>

2. Simple GET Request with URL and Parameters

func simpleGetUrlWithParamRequest()
    {
        let url = URL(string: "https://www.google.com/search?q=peace")!

        let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) {(data, response, error) in

            if error != nil || data == nil {
                print("Client error!")
                return
            }
            guard let response = response as? HTTPURLResponse, (200...299).contains(response.statusCode) else {
                print("Server error!")
                return
            }
            print("The Response is : ",response)
        }
        task.resume()
    }

3. Simple GET Request with URL with Error Handlings

func simpleGetUrlRequestWithErrorHandling()
    {
        let session = URLSession.shared
        let url = URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/get")!

        let task = session.dataTask(with: url) { data, response, error in

            if error != nil || data == nil {
                print("Client error!")
                return
            }

            guard let response = response as? HTTPURLResponse, (200...299).contains(response.statusCode) else {
                print("Server error!")
                return
            }

            guard let mime = response.mimeType, mime == "application/json" else {
                print("Wrong MIME type!")
                return
            }

            do {
                let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: [])
                print("The Response is : ",json)
            } catch {
                print("JSON error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
            }

        }
        task.resume()
    }

4. Simple POST Request with URL, Parameters with Error Handlings.

func simplePostRequestWithParamsAndErrorHandling(){
        var session = URLSession.shared
        let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.default
        configuration.timeoutIntervalForRequest = 30
        configuration.timeoutIntervalForResource = 30
        session = URLSession(configuration: configuration)

        let url = URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/post")!

        var request = URLRequest(url: url)
        request.httpMethod = "POST"
        request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
        request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")

        let parameters = ["username": "foo", "password": "123456"]

        do {
            request.httpBody = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options: .prettyPrinted)
        } catch let error {
            print(error.localizedDescription)
        }

        let task = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: { data, response, error in

            if error != nil || data == nil {
                print("Client error!")
                return
            }

            guard let response = response as? HTTPURLResponse, (200...299).contains(response.statusCode) else {
                print("Oops!! there is server error!")
                return
            }

            guard let mime = response.mimeType, mime == "application/json" else {
                print("response is not json")
                return
            }

            do {
                let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: [])
                print("The Response is : ",json)
            } catch {
                print("JSON error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
            }

        })

        task.resume()
    }

    // 2 - Create the URL Object

PHP Code to get the key values

$empID = $_POST['id'];

$inOut = $_POST['inout'];

$comment = $_POST['comment'];

Here's a very simple Swift 4 example in a playground:

import UIKit
// run asynchronously in a playground
import PlaygroundSupport
PlaygroundPage.current.needsIndefiniteExecution = true

// create a url
let url = URL(string: "http://www.stackoverflow.com")

// create a data task
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url!) { (data, response, error) in
    if error != nil {
        print("there's a problem")
    }
    print(String(data: data!, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8) ?? "")
}

//running the task w/ resume
task.resume()

For XCUITest to stop the test finishing before the async request completes use this (maybe reduce the 100 timeout):

func test_api() {
    let url = URL(string: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/42")!
    let exp = expectation(description: "Waiting for data")
    let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) {(data, response, error) in
        guard let data = data else { return }
        print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!)
        exp.fulfill()
    }
    task.resume()
    XCTWaiter.wait(for: [exp], timeout: 100)
}

An example for a sample "GET" request is given below.

let urlString = "YOUR_GET_URL"
let yourURL = URL(string: urlstring)
let dataTask = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: yourURL) { (data, response, error) in
do {
    let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .mutableContainers)
    print("json --- \(json)")
    }catch let err {
    print("err---\(err.localizedDescription)")
    }
   }
dataTask.resume()

Swift 5

Nobody has mentioned using the URL-loading constructor Data(contentsOf:):

private func loadDataIntoUI(from url: URL) {
    DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated).async { [weak self] in
        if let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url) {
            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                // TODO: Update UI with data
            }
        }
    }
}
