DataRequest

open class DataRequest : Request

Specific type of Request that manages an underlying URLSessionDataTask.

Properties

  • The request sent or to be sent to the server.

    Declaration

    Swift

    open override var request: URLRequest? { get }

  • The progress of fetching the response data from the server for the request.

    Declaration

    Swift

    open var progress: Progress { get }

Stream

  • Sets a closure to be called periodically during the lifecycle of the request as data is read from the server.

    This closure returns the bytes most recently received from the server, not including data from previous calls. If this closure is set, data will only be available within this closure, and will not be saved elsewhere. It is also important to note that the server data in any Response object will be nil.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @discardableResult
open func stream(closure: ((Data) -> Void)? = nil) -> Self

    Parameters

    closure

    The code to be executed periodically during the lifecycle of the request.

    Return Value

    The request.

Progress

  • Sets a closure to be called periodically during the lifecycle of the Request as data is read from the server.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @discardableResult

    Return Value

    The request.

Default

  • Adds a handler to be called once the request has finished.

    The request.

  • Adds a handler to be called once the request has finished.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @discardableResult

    -> Self

    Parameters

    queue

    The queue on which the completion handler is dispatched.
    responseSerializer

    The response serializer responsible for serializing the request, response, and data.
    completionHandler

Data

  • Creates a response serializer that returns the associated data as-is.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public static func dataResponseSerializer() -> DataResponseSerializer<Data>

    Return Value

    A data response serializer.

  • Adds a handler to be called once the request has finished.

    Declaration

    -> Self

    Parameters

    completionHandler

    The code to be executed once the request has finished.

String

  • Creates a response serializer that returns a result string type initialized from the response data with the specified string encoding.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public static func stringResponseSerializer(encoding: String.Encoding? = nil) -> DataResponseSerializer<String>

    Parameters

    encoding

    The string encoding. If nil, the string encoding will be determined from the server response, falling back to the default HTTP default character set, ISO-8859-1.

    Return Value

  • Adds a handler to be called once the request has finished.

    Declaration

    Swift

  • A closure used to validate a request that takes a URL request, a URL response and data, and returns whether the request was valid.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public typealias Validation = (URLRequest?, HTTPURLResponse, Data?) -> ValidationResult

  • Validates the request, using the specified closure.

    If validation fails, subsequent calls to response handlers will have an associated error.

public func validate(_ validation: @escaping Validation) -> Self

    Parameters

    validation

    A closure to validate the request.

    Return Value

  • Validates that the response has a status code in the specified sequence.

    If validation fails, subsequent calls to response handlers will have an associated error.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @discardableResult
public func validate<S>(statusCode acceptableStatusCodes: S) -> Self where S : Sequence, S.Element == Int

    Parameters

    range
