Request

public class Request

Request is the common superclass of all Alamofire request types and provides common state, delegate, and callback handling.

  • State of the Request, with managed transitions between states set when calling resume(), suspend(), or cancel() on the Request.

    • initialized: Initial state of the Request.
    • resumed: Set when resume() is called. Any tasks created for the Request will have resume() called on them in this state.
    • suspended: Set when suspend() is called. Any tasks created for the Request will have suspend() called on them in this state.
    • cancelled: Set when cancel() is called. Any tasks created for the Request will have cancel() called on them. Unlike resumed or suspended, once in the cancelled state, the Request can no longer transition to any other state.
    • finished: Set when all response serialization completion closures have been cleared on the Request and queued on their respective queues.
