MoyaUnbox

Unbox bindings for Moya for easier JSON serialization. Includes RxSwift and ReactiveSwift bindings as well.

Installation

Usage

Create a model struct or class. It needs to implement protocol Unboxable. More details about model creation here

import Foundation
import Unbox

struct Repository: Unboxable {
    let identifier: Int
    let name: String
    let fullName: String
    let language: String? // Optional property

    init(unboxer: Unboxer) throws {
        identifier = try unboxer.unbox(key: "id")
        name = try unboxer.unbox(key: "name")
        fullName = try unboxer.unbox(key: "full_name")
        language = unboxer.unbox(key: "language")
    }
}

Then you have methods that extends the response from Moya. These methods are:

map(to: type) // map object
map(to: type, fromKey: key) // map object
map(to: [type]) // map array of objects
map(to: [type], fromKey: key) // map array of objects

While using map(to: type) tries to map whole response data to object, with map(to: type, fromKey: key) you can specify nested object in a response to fetch. For example map(to: type, fromKey: "data.response.user") will go through dictionary of data, through dictionary of response to dictionary of user, which it will parse.

For RxSwift and ReactiveSwift additionally methods for optional mapping are provided. These methods are:

mapOptional(to: type)
mapOptional(to: type, fromKey: key)
mapOptional(to: [type])
mapOptional(to: [type], fromKey: key)

See examples below, or in a Demo project.

1. Normal usage (without RxSwift or ReactiveSwift)

provider = MoyaProvider<GitHub>()
provider.request(GitHub.repos(username: "gperdomor")) { (result) in
    if case .success(let response) = result {
        do {
            let repos = try response.map(to: [Repository.self])
            print(repos)
        } catch Error.jsonMapping(let error) {
            print(try? error.mapString())
        } catch {
            print(":(")
        }
    }
}

2. RxSwift

provider = RxMoyaProvider<GitHub>()
provider.request(GitHub.repo(fullName: "gperdomor/sygnaler"))
        .map(to: Repository.self)
        .subscribe { event in
            switch event {
            case .next(let repo):
                print(repo)
            case .error(let error):
                print(error)
            default: break
            }
        }

Additionally, modules for RxSwift contains optional mappings. It basically means that if the mapping fails, mapper doesn’t throw errors but returns nil. For instance:

provider = RxMoyaProvider<GitHub>()
provider
    .request(GitHub.repos(username: "gperdomor"))
    .mapOptional(to: [Repository.self])
    .subscribe { event in
        switch event {
        case .next(let repos):
            // Here we can have either nil or [Repository] object.
            print(repos)
        case .error(let error):
            print(error)
        default: break
        }
    }

3. ReactiveSwift

provider = ReactiveSwiftMoyaProvider<GitHub>()
provider
    .request(GitHub.repos(username: "gperdomor"))
    .map(to: [Repository.self])
    .start { event in
        switch event {
        case .value(let repos):
            print(repos)
        case .failed(let error):
            print(error)
        default: break
        }
    }

Additionally, modules for ReactiveSwift contains optional mappings. It basically means that if the mapping fails, mapper doesn’t throw errors but returns nil. For instance:

provider = ReactiveSwiftMoyaProvider<GitHub>()
provider
    .request(GitHub.repos(username: "gperdomor"))
    .mapOptional(to: [Repository.self])
    .start { event in
        switch event {
        case .value(let repos):
            // Here we can have either nil or [Repository] object.
            print(repos)
        case .failed(let error):
            print(error)
        default: break
        }
    }
