AYNetworking is a set of category with API methods to make it easier to handle requests and response with AFNetworking Framework.

AYNetworking extent AFHTTPClient and AFHTTPRequestOperation API of the AFNetworking Framework.

Inspired by LRResty

Quick introduction

Import

When you will use the AYNetworking Framework in your code you can just add the import command below. This will import AFNetworking for you too.

#import <AYNetworking/AYNetworking.h>

Client

First you need a AFHTTPClient class based client.

AFHTTPClient *client = [AFHTTPClient clientWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://base.url"]];

Block API

To send a request with blocks you can just use the code below.

[client get:@"resource"
         success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id response) {
             // handle the response...
         }
         failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
             // handle the error...
         }
];

The same for: post, delete, patch and put.

if your request need parameters or headers you can call it like below:

[client get:@"resource" parameters:@{@"": @""} headers:@{@"": @""}
         success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id response) {
             // handle the response...
         }
         failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
             // handle the error...
         }
];

If you want modify the AFHTTPRequestOperation before the operation start to send the request you can use the code below.

[client willStartRequestOperation:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation) {
    // modify the AFHTTPRequestOperation...
}];

Delegate API

To send a request with delegate you can just use the code below.

[client get:@"resource" delegate:self];

The delegate protocol methods to handle the response.

- (void)client:(AFHTTPClient *)client requestOperation:(AFHTTPRequestOperation *)operation didSuccessfulWithObject:(id)response
{
    // handle the response...
}

- (void)client:(AFHTTPClient *)client requestOperation:(AFHTTPRequestOperation *)operation didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
     // handle the error...
}

Synchronous API

synchronous send request and handle response looks like below.

AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [client get:@"resource"];

if (operation.isSuccess){
    // handle the response...
    // operation.responseObject;
}

if (operation.isFailure) {
    // handle the error...
    // operation.error;
}
