I’m trying to display my JSON into my UIImageView and UILabel - json

I’m trying to display my JSON into my UIImageView and UILabel. I have the JSON in my console but it is not being presented onto the label or ImageView. I am not getting errors, but nothing is displayed using the following JSON.
override func viewDidLoad()
{
print(currentUser!)
super.viewDidLoad()
loadUser()
refreshControl?.tintColor = .black
self.tableView.addSubview(refreshControl!)
}
func loadUser()
{
// save method of accessing user related info in global var
guard let firstName = currentUser?["firstName"], let lastName = currentUser?["lastName"], let username = currentUser?["username"], let profileImage = currentUser?["profileImage"] else
//guard let firstName = currentUser?["firstName"], let lastName = currentUser?["lastName"], let username = currentUser?["username"], let profileImagePath = currentUser?["profileImage"] else
{
return
}
fullNameLabel.text = "\((firstName as! String).capitalized) \((lastName as! String).capitalized)" // "Bob Michael"
usernameLabel.text = "#\(username as! String)"
Helper().downloadImage(from: profileImage as! String, showIn: self.ProfileImageView, orShow: "")
}
// allows us to download the image from certain url string
func downloadImage(from path: String, showIn imageView: UIImageView, orShow placeholder: String) {
// if avaPath string is having a valid url, IT'S NOT EMPTY (e.g. if ava isn't assigned, than in DB the link is stored as blank string)
if String(describing: path).isEmpty == false {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
// converting url string to the valid URL
if let url = URL(string: path) {
// downloading all data from the URL
guard let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url) else {
imageView.image = UIImage(named: placeholder)
return
}
// converting donwloaded data to the image
guard let image = UIImage(data: data) else {
imageView.image = UIImage(named: placeholder)
return
}
// assigning image to the imageView
imageView.image = image
}
}

Temp JSON data - Swift

So I am trying to create a temp JSON depending on whether a listener is tuned into a podcast or a radio station.
Because we already have all the podcast info we don't need to ask a remote JSON for it. But we still need to have the ability that when the MusicPlayer is playing that in the View it shows the cover, artist and title.
So my thinking was create a simple JSON Struct inside the MusicPlayer class and when the media player sends the data to the following
func getArtBoard(artist: String, song: String, cover: String) {
guard let url = URL(string: cover) else { return }
getData(from: url) { [weak self] image in
guard let self = self,
let downloadedImage = image else {
return
}
let artwork = MPMediaItemArtwork.init(boundsSize: downloadedImage.size, requestHandler: { _ -> UIImage in
return downloadedImage
})
self.nowplaying(with: artwork, artist: artist, song: song)
}
}
It would also save it temp to - which is inside the
class MusicPlayer {
struct NowPlaying: Codable, Identifiable {
var id: ObjectIdentifier
var artist : String
var song : String
var cover : String
}
//more code here
}
However I am getting two errors
Type 'MusicPlayer.NowPlaying' does not conform to protocol 'Decodable'
Type 'MusicPlayer.NowPlaying' does not conform to protocol 'Encodable'
Questions:
How do I make it to conform. - But we able to call it via Music.NowPlaying.
Is this the best way to do it, or can I access the MPMediaItemPropertyTitle in View?

UPDATE
Got the above error solved thanks to the comment below.
However am having issues fetching the data.
Type 'MusicPlayer.NowPlayingData.Type' cannot conform to 'Encodable'; only struct/enum/class types can conform to protocols
The code I used. - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/jsonencoder
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
encoder.outputFormatting = .prettyPrinted
let data = try encoder.encode(NowPlayingData)
print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!)
To write it I placed
func getArtBoard(artist: String, song: String, cover: String) {
MusicPlayer.NowPlayingData(artist: artist, song: song, cover: cover)
}
DATA trying to encode
func getArtBoard(artist: String, song: String, cover: String) {
//MusicPlayer.NowPlayingData(artist: artist, song: song, cover: cover)
let pear = "{'artist':\(artist), 'song': \(song), 'cover':\(cover)}"
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
encoder.outputFormatting = .prettyPrinted
MusicPlayer.JN = try encoder.encode(pear)

Unable to add parameter to API in swift

I am getting parameter value from other viewcontroller, and i am getting parameter valueperfectly but which i am unable to add to API
here if i hardcode eventStatus then its working
and eventStatus value from otherviewcontroller also coming perfectly which i am unable to add to API
if i hard code like this its working
var eventType = "Draft"
let string = Constants.GLOBAL_URL + "/get/allevents/?eventstatus=\(self.eventType)"
Code: here i am getting correct eventStatus value but while breakpoint its control goes to else, why?
class EventsViewController: UIViewController {
var eventsListArray = [AnyObject]()
// var eventType = "Draft"
var eventType: String!
var eventList : EventsModel? = nil

}
}
where i am wrong, why eventStatus value not adding to API.. please suggest me
it looks like you have a POST request and you need to use request data instead URL parameters.
HTTP Request in Swift with POST method here you can see:
let parameters: [String: Any] = [
"eventstatus": yourValue
]
request.httpBody = parameters.percentEncoded()
You also need to create parameters with eventStatus. And put it in
request.httpBody = parameters.percentEncoded()
If this endpoint on your server waits on this data in request body than you could not add it like a URL parameter.
Also, don't forget these 2 extensions from the example
extension Dictionary {
func percentEncoded() -> Data? {
return map { key, value in
let escapedKey = "\(key)".addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryValueAllowed) ?? ""
let escapedValue = "\(value)".addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryValueAllowed) ?? ""
return escapedKey + "=" + escapedValue
}
.joined(separator: "&")
.data(using: .utf8)
}
}
extension CharacterSet {
static let urlQueryValueAllowed: CharacterSet = {
let generalDelimitersToEncode = ":#[]#" // does not include "?" or "/" due to RFC 3986 - Section 3.4
let subDelimitersToEncode = "!$&'()*+,;="
var allowed = CharacterSet.urlQueryAllowed
allowed.remove(charactersIn: "\(generalDelimitersToEncode)\(subDelimitersToEncode)")
return allowed
}()
}
The solution must be obvious from the discussion in the comments. Although you seem a little puzzled so, I'm adding this to help you out. The value of eventType is never getting allocated to a value, it is remaining as nil unless you set it's value at a point in your code before the API call. So here is a way for you to figure this out:
let string = "https://www.google.com" + "/get/allevents"
var urlComponents = URLComponents(string: string)
let eventStatus = self.eventType ?? "Published" // here value is defaulted to "Published"
let requestEventType = URLQueryItem(name: "eventstatus", value: eventStatus)
urlComponents?.queryItems = [requestEventType]
let urlStr = urlComponents?.url
print(urlStr?.absoluteString)
Here, we're setting a default value for eventType for the scenario where eventType is nil.

How can I keep the value of a variable outside a function?

I'm trying to display the value I get from a JSON in an AR text, within the DecodeJSON function it all works, I even achieve to put that value in a normal label but when I try to set that value to the AR text it is empty... what can I do or what I'm doing wrong? It would be very useful if you can help me out with this.
#IBOutlet var sceneView: ARSCNView!
#IBOutlet weak var labelTest: UILabel!
let URL_VWC = "http://w1.doomdns.com:11000/restaguapotable/api/celula/10/sitio/4";
var name :String!
struct JSONTest: Codable {
let Nombre: String
let Tiempo: String
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Set the view's delegate
sceneView.delegate = self
// Show statistics such as fps and timing information
sceneView.showsStatistics = true
// Create a new scene
let scene = SCNScene()
// Set the scene to the view
sceneView.scene = scene
DecodeJson();
let text = SCNText(string: name, extrusionDepth: 1.0)
text.firstMaterial?.diffuse.contents = UIColor.black
let textNode = SCNNode(geometry: text)
textNode.position = SCNVector3(0,0, -0.5)
textNode.scale = SCNVector3(0.02,0.02,0.02)
sceneView.scene.rootNode.addChildNode(textNode)
}
func DecodeJson(){
guard let url = URL(string: URL_VWC) else { return }
// 2
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in
if error != nil {
print(error!.localizedDescription)
}
guard let data = data else { return }
do {
// 3
//Decode data
let JSONData = try JSONDecoder().decode(JSONTest.self, from: data)
// 4
//Get back to the main queue
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.name = JSONData.Nombre
self.labelTest.text = self.name
}
} catch let jsonError {
print(jsonError)
}
// 5
}.resume()
}
This means that DecodeJson() returns self.name = JSONData.Nombre after let text = SCNText(string: name, extrusionDepth: 1.0) is called.
You should have a separate function where you setup your scene after the DecodeJson() has returned the JSON

Swift add key to local JSON for saving checkmarks

Im trying to save checkmarks in my application. But cause im paring my data from an api.. I don't know how I can add like the key "checked". The thing is the JSON gets downloaded once a Week, adding new content. Is there a way to still save my checkmarks?
struct Base : Codable {
let expireDate : String
let Week : [Weeks]
}
struct Weeks : Codable {
let name : String
let items : [Items]
}
struct Items : Codable {
let Icon: String
let text : String
}
In my RootTableView I have the array Weeks, and I would like to add checkmarks to the child tableView Items.
Thanks in advance

let data = try Data(contentsOf: url)
// 3. Decode an array of items from this Data
let items = try decoder.decode(Base.self, from: data)
itemsDisk = items
} catch {
}
}
I would create a wrapper class (or struct) for Items, say MyItem, that contains the original Items object and the checkmark property.
class MyItem {
let item: Items
var checkmark: Bool
//more properties...?
init(withItem item: Items {
this.item = item
this.checkmark = false
}
func isEqual(otherItem item: Items) -> Bool {
return this.item == item
}
}
The isEqual is used to check if there already exists an MyItem object for a downloaded Items object or if a new should be created. isEqual assumes that you change the Items struct to implement the Equatable protocol.
You probably also need to replace Weeks but here you don't need to include the original Weeks object.
class MyWeek {
let name: String
let items: [MyItem]
}

optional type String? not unwrapped

I have a PHP page that is on my webserver that interacts with a mysql database called grabmapinfo.php
The output of the page is [{"companyname":"Brunos Burgers","companyphone":"7745632382","companytown":"858 Western Ave, Lynn, MA 01905"}]
Now I have this Swift code, which I want to get the info from the database, geocode the address to latitude and longitude, plot the annotation on the map, change the annotation image and title, and make a circle with a radius of 5 with the pin being in the center.
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
self.locationManager.delegate = self
self.locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
self.locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
self.locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
self.buyerMapView1.showsUserLocation = true
let url = NSURL(string: "https://alanr917.000webhostapp.com/grabmapinfo.php")
var request = URLRequest(url:url! as URL)
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: { (data:Data?, response:URLResponse?, error:Error?) -> Void in
if error != nil {
// Display an alert message
print(error)
return
}
do {
if let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: []) as? [[String:AnyObject]] {
for item in json {
// Get company info from DB
let companyname = item["companyname"] as? String
let companyphone = item["companyphone"] as? String
let companytown = item["companytown"] as? String
print("Company : \(companyname)")
print("Phone : \(companyphone)")
print("Address : \(companytown)")
let address = companytown
let geocoder = CLGeocoder()
geocoder.geocodeAddressString(address, completionHandler: {
(placemarks: [AnyObject]!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
if let placemark = placemarks?[0] as? CLPlacemark {
let pa = MKPointAnnotation()
pa.coordinate = placemark.location.coordinate
pa.title = companyname
pa.imageName = #imageLiteral(resourceName: "growerAnnotation")
self.buyerMapView1.addAnnotation(pa)
let center = annotation.coordinate
let circle = MKCircle(center: center, radius: 5) // change the 5 later to however many miles the grower purchased
self.buyerMapView1.add(circle)
}
})
}
}
} catch {
print(error)
}
})
}
But i get an error that says the optional type String? is not unwrapped and it errors out and wont build.
Does anyone see where I'm going wrong? Thanks!
companyTown is declared as an optional string and the geocodeAddressString method takes a string. You need to unwrap the option before calling it.
if let addressUnwrapped = address {
geocoder.geocodeAddressString(addressUnwrapped, completionHandler: {
(placemarks: [AnyObject]!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
...
})
}
