Change Log

9.0.0

• This release replaces the custom Result type with the one provided by the Swift 5 Standard Library. This is a breaking change, since you now have to explicitly specify the Error type. In addition, the error convenience method has also been renamed to failureResult to match the successResult method.

8.2.0

• This release adds support for Swift 5.0

8.1.0

• Includes support to override character set for encoding URL query parameters.

8.0.1

• Adds swift_version to the podspec as it is now enforced by Cocoapods 1.6.0.

8.0.0

• Adds Swift 4.2 support

7.2.2

• Adds optional requestTimeoutInterval property to NetworkResourceType which can be used to set a URLRequest specific timeout for the resource.

7.2.1

• Fixes an issue where super.start() was being called unnecessarily.

7.2.0

• Adds the ability to cancel all requests from the resource service.

7.1.0

• Adds the ability to cancel all requests from the URLSessionType.

7.0.1

• Removed superfluous SwiftLint disablement.

7.0.0

• Handle failure to parse model in a dedicated failure case. If the response is successful, but an error is thrown during parsing, then a NetworkServiceError.parsingModel failure case is passed along to the completion.

6.1.0

• Added Codable support (JSONDecodableResourceType, et al)

6.0.0

• Migrated to Swift 4

5.0.1

• Moved internal Result to test target

5.0.0

• The error from a failed NetworkResponse is now flattened and moved into the NetworkServiceError couldNotParseModel case to avoid nested switch statements:

enum NetworkResponse<Model> {
  case success(Model, HTTPURLResponse)
  case failure(NetworkServiceError, HTTPURLResponse?)
}

4.0.0

• DataResourceType transformation function now throws on failure instead of returning Result<Model>:

   // Old interface
   func result(from data: Data) -> Result<Model>
   // New interface
   func model(from data: Data) throws -> Model

• JSONDictionaryResourceType transformation function now throws on failure instead of returning Model?:

   // Old interface
   func model(from jsonDictionary: [String : Any]) -> Model?
   // New interface
   func model(from jsonDictionary: [String : Any]) throws -> Model

• JSONArrayResourceType transformation function now throws on failure instead of returning Model?:

   // Old interface
   func model(from jsonArray: [Any]) -> Model?
   // New interface
   func model(from jsonArray: [Any]) throws -> Model

• Refactored network service

  • Renamed NetworkDataResourceService to GenericNetworkDataResourceService, this is useful when using it with ResourceOperation
  • New NetworkDataResourceService uses a generic fetching function
  • NetworkDataResourceService now uses NetworkResponse as the result type in the completion handler

3.2.0

• Issue #21 - Added support for cancelling request
  • NetworkDataResourceService now returns a Cancellable type

3.1.1

• Removed unnecessary ResourceOperationType protocol
• NetworkDataResourceService now invalidates it's session on deinit

3.1.0

• Added support for listen to network activity changes, useful for setting up isNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible on UIApplication
• fetch(resource: Resource, completion: @escaping (Result<Resource.Model>) -> Void) method on NetworkDataResourceService is now open for overriding

3.0.3

• Added documentation on BaseAsynchronousOperation
• Removed errors parameter from finish() in BaseAsynchronousOperation

3.0.2

• URLSession used by NetworkDataResourceService is now exposed in the initializer

3.0.1

• resource, service and didFinishFetchingResourceCallback properties in ResourceOperation are now internal to allow for unit testing purposes

3.0.0

• Removed deprecated JSONResourceType and NetworkJSONResourceType
• Issue #9 - Improvements to meet Swift API guidelines

2.1.0

Bug fixes

• Issue #3 - Query items on the URL for a NetworkResourceType are now added to the generated URLRequest

New features

• Issue #4 - Introduced JSONArrayResourceType and JSONDictionaryResourceType in favour of now deprecated JSONResourceType
• Issue #7 - HTTPMethod now uses lower case enums, e.g. get instead of GET

2.0.0

• Migrated to Swift 3

1.0.0

• Initial release
• Retrieve JSON or image resources using a network service
• Included a resource operation to manage concurrency
