How would I parse this JSON into Codeable struct. I am also using Moya library to make request
{
"categories": [
{
"categories": {
"id": 1,
"name": "Delivery"
}
},
{
"categories": {
"id": 2,
"name": "Dine-out"
}
},
{
"categories": {
"id": 3,
"name": "Nightlife"
}
}
]
}
Right now my Codeable struct looks like below:
struct Response: Codable {
struct Category: Codable {
let id: Int
let name: String
}
var categories: Category
}
I am gettig an error saying Expected to decode Array but found a Dictionary instead.
UPDATE
provider.request(.categories) { (result) in
// guard let self = self else { return }
switch result {
case .success(let response):
let data = response.data
//let json = try? JSON(data: data)
// swiftlint:disable:next force_try
let test = try! JSONDecoder().decode([Respo].self, from: data)
print(test)
// self.collectionView.reloadData()
case .failure(let error):
print(error)
}
}

Answer 1

Reason:
In you model Response, categories is of type Category. But as per your JSON response, categories is an array of dictionary. That's the reason it is giving Expected to decode Array but found a Dictionary instead
Solution:
categories in Response model must be of type [[String:Category]] instead.
So, The models for parsing the above data should be,
struct Response: Codable {
let categories: [[String:Category]]
}
struct Category: Codable {
let id: Int
let name: String
}
Edit:
Parse it like,
do {
let response = try JSONDecoder().decode(Response.self, from: data)
print(response)
} catch {
print(error)
}
