Use HTTP Request will be NSURLSession

ALL Requests will be NSURLSession. Session will add in to NSOperationQueue . Request creation , response serialization, network reachability handing and offline request as well.

GET Request

    SWGETRequest *getRequest = [[SWGETRequest alloc]init];
    [getRequest startDataTaskWithURL:@"http://127.0.0.1:3000" parameters:nil success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {

    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {

    }];

If you want send parameters you have two options

    SWGETRequest *getRequest = [[SWGETRequest alloc]init];
    getRequest.responseDataType = [SWResponseJSONDataType type];
    [getRequest startDataTaskWithURL:@"http://127.0.0.1:3000" parameters:@"name=this is name&address=your address"  parentView:nil success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {
    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {

    }];

If you want to encdoe parameters and values you need to pass NSDictionary object with keys/values.

    SWGETRequest *getRequest = [[SWGETRequest alloc]init];
    getRequest.responseDataType = [SWResponseJSONDataType type];
    [getRequest startDataTaskWithURL:@"http://127.0.0.1:3000" parameters:@{@"name": @"this is name", @"address": @"your address"}  parentView:nil success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {
    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {

    }];

We are recommend to use second option because if you have & sign with parameter or value it will break sending values.

GET with Response type

Available as response types SWResponseJSONDataType, SWResponseJSONDataType, SWResponseXMLDataType,SWResponseStringDataType,SWResponseUIImageType
You need set responseDataType.

// this response will be JSON
    SWGETRequest *getRequest = [[SWGETRequest alloc]init];
    getRequest.responseDataType = [SWResponseJSONDataType type];
    [getRequest startDataTaskWithURL:@"http://127.0.0.1:3000" parameters:nil parentView:nil success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {

    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {

    }];

GET with loading indicator

If you set your parent view to method, loading indicator will be displayed.

    SWGETRequest *getRequest = [[SWGETRequest alloc]init];
    getRequest.responseDataType = [SWResponseJSONDataType type];
    [getRequest startDataTaskWithURL:@"http://127.0.0.1:3000" parameters:nil parentView:self.view success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {

    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {

    }];

If you want custom loading view you need to add new nib file to your project and name it as 'sw_loadingView'. It will be displayed on the screen.

Cache Response

If you want to access cached data on the response. You need to use relevant method that include cache block

    SWGETRequest *getRequest = [[SWGETRequest alloc]init];
    getRequest.responseDataType = [SWResponseJSONDataType type];
    [getRequest startDataTaskWithURL:@"http://127.0.0.1:3000" parameters:@{@"name": @"this is name", @"address": @"your address"}  parentView:nil success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {

    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {

    }];

POST request (simple)

Cache, Loading view available for the on the relevant method. Please check available methods

    SWPOSTRequest *postRequest = [[SWPOSTRequest alloc]init];
    postRequest.responseDataType = [SWResponseJSONDataType type];

    [postRequest startDataTaskWithURL:@"http://127.0.0.1:3000/drivers" parameters:@{@"name": @"this is name", @"address": @"your address"} parentView:nil cachedData:^(NSCachedURLResponse *response, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"%@", error);
    }];

POST multipart request

It is really easy.

    SWPOSTRequest *postRequest = [[SWPOSTRequest alloc]init];
    postRequest.responseDataType = [SWResponseJSONDataType type];

    //need to crate files array to upload

    UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"skywite"];
    NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
    SWMedia *file1 = [[SWMedia alloc]initWithFileName:@"imagefile.png" key:@"image" data:imageData];

    //create with custom mine type one

    SWMedia *file2 = [[SWMedia alloc]initWithFileName:@"image.jpg" key:@"image2" mineType:@"image/jpeg" data:imageData];

    //create an array with files

    NSArray *fileArray = @[file1, file2];

    [postRequest startUploadTaskWithURL:@"http://127.0.0.1:3000/drivers" files:fileArray parameters:@{@"name": @"this is name", @"address": @"your address"} parentView:nil
    cachedData:^(NSCachedURLResponse *response, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } success:^(NSURLSessionUploadTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"%@", error);
    }];

    SWPUTRequest *putRequest = [[SWPUTRequest alloc]init];
    putRequest.responseDataType = [SWResponseXMLDataType type];

    [putRequest startDataTaskWithURL:@"http://127.0.0.1:3000/drivers" parameters:@{@"name": @"this is name", @"address": @"your address"}  parentView:nil success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"%@", error);
    }];}

PATCH simple request

    patchRequest.responseDataType = [SWResponseXMLDataType type];

    [patchRequest startDataTaskWithURL:@"http://127.0.0.1:3000/drivers" parameters:@{@"name": @"this is name", @"address": @"your address"}  parentView:nil success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"%@", error);
    }];

    [deleteRequest startDataTaskWithURL:@"http://127.0.0.1:3000/drivers" parameters:@{@"name": @"this is name", @"address": @"your address"}  parentView:nil cachedData:^(NSCachedURLResponse *response, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"%@", error);
    }];

    headRequest.responseDataType = [SWResponseXMLDataType type];

    [headRequest startDataTaskWithURL:@"http://127.0.0.1:3000/drivers" parameters:@{@"name": @"this is name", @"address": @"your address"}  parentView:nil cachedData:^(NSCachedURLResponse *response, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"%@", error);
    }];}

Features

all the following features averrable on all the request types. eg : If you want to access you need to call relevant method that include cache block

Custom headers

If you want to add custom headers you can set to accessing request object.

    SWPOSTRequest *postRequest = [[SWPOSTRequest alloc]init];

    [postRequest.request setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
    postRequest.responseDataType = [SWResponseJSONDataType type];

    [postRequest startDataTaskWithURL:@"your URL String" parameters:@{@"name": @"this is name", @"address": @"your address"}  parentView:self.view cachedData:^(NSCachedURLResponse *response, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {

        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);

    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {

    }];

Custom time out

If you want to change request timeout , you have to change property call timeOut.

    SWPOSTRequest *postRequest = [[SWPOSTRequest alloc]init];
    [postRequest setTimeOut:120];
    postRequest.responseDataType = [SWResponseJSONDataType type];

    [postRequest startDataTaskWithURL:@"your URL String" parameters:@{@"name": @"this is name", @"address": @"your address"}  parentView:self.view cachedData:^(NSCachedURLResponse *response, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {

        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);

    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {

    }];

Response Encoding

You need to sent object type for the responseDataType on all your requests.

    //JSON
    SWPOSTRequest *postRequest = [[SWPOSTRequest alloc]init];
    postRequest.responseDataType = [SWResponseJSONDataType type];

    [postRequest startDataTaskWithURL:@"your URL String" parameters:@{@"name": @"this is name", @"address": @"your address"}  parentView:self.view cachedData:^(NSCachedURLResponse *response, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {

        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);

    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {

    }];


    //XML
    SWPOSTRequest *postRequestXML = [[SWPOSTRequest alloc]init];
    postRequestXML.responseDataType = [SWResponseJSONDataType type];

    [postRequestXML startDataTaskWithURL:@"your URL String" parameters:@{@"name": @"this is name", @"address": @"your address"}  parentView:self.view cachedData:^(NSCachedURLResponse *response, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {

        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);

    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {

    }];

    //String
    SWPOSTRequest *postRequestString = [[SWPOSTRequest alloc]init];
    postRequestString.responseDataType = [SWResponseStringDataType type];

    [postRequestString startDataTaskWithURL:@"your URL String" parameters:@{@"name": @"this is name", @"address": @"your address"}  parentView:self.view cachedData:^(NSCachedURLResponse *response, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {

        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);

    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {

    }];

    //String
    SWGETRequest *getRequestImage = [[SWGETRequest alloc]init];
    getRequestImage.responseDataType = [SWResponseUIImageType type];

    [getRequestImage startDataTaskWithURL:@"your URL String" parameters:@{@"name": @"this is name", @"address": @"your address"}  parentView:self.view cachedData:^(NSCachedURLResponse *response, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {

        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);

    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {

    }];

UIImageView with SWNetworking

No need to download image and set to UIImageView anymore. You can set url to UIImageView.

    // Please use only one method . you can see 4 methods :)

    // from url
    UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 300)];
    [imageView loadWithURLString:@"image url"];


    //if you want to load image cache and then load download you can use following method
    [imageView loadWithURLString:@"image url" loadFromCacheFirst:YES];

    //If you want to get complete event
    [imageView loadWithURLString:@"image url" complete:^(UIImage *image) {
        //you can assing your image to your object here.
    }];

    //if you want cache and image handle
    [imageView loadWithURLString:@"image url" loadFromCacheFirst:YES complete:^(UIImage *image) {

    }];

Check Reachability

New Reachability class to support block when change network status available Status

SWNetworkReachabilityStatusNotReachable SWNetworkReachabilityStatusReachableViaWWAN SWNetworkReachabilityStatusReachableViaWiFi

    if ([SWReachability getCurrentNetworkStatus] == SWNetworkingReachabilityStatusNotReachable) {
        //connection not available.
    }

    //if you want to get status change notification

    [SWReachability checkCurrentStatus:^(SWNetworkingReachabilityStatus currentStatus) {
        //current status when call method
    } statusChange:^(SWNetworkingReachabilityStatus changedStatus) {
        //every time when change status
    }];

Upload progress With Request

    SWPOSTRequest *postRequest = [[SWPOSTRequest alloc]init];
    postRequest.responseDataType = [SWResponseJSONDataType type];

    //need to crate files array to upload

    UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"skywite"];
    NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
    SWMedia *file1 = [[SWMedia alloc]initWithFileName:@"imagefile.png" key:@"image" data:imageData];


    //create with custom mine type one

    SWMedia *file2 = [[SWMedia alloc]initWithFileName:@"image.jpg" key:@"image2" mineType:@"image/jpeg" data:imageData];

    //create an array with files

    NSArray *fileArray = @[file1, file2];

    [postRequest startUploadTaskWithURL:@"http://127.0.0.1:3000/drivers" files:fileArray parameters:@{@"name": @"this is name", @"address": @"your address"} parentView:nil  success:^(NSURLSessionUploadTask *uploadTask, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"%@", error);
    }];
    [postRequest setUploadProgressBlock:^(long long bytesWritten, long long totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {
        NSLog(@"bytesWritten => %lld and totalBytesExpectedToWrite = %lld", bytesWritten, totalBytesExpectedToWrite);
    }];

Download Progress With Request

    SWGETRequest *getR = [[SWGETRequest alloc]init];
    [getR startDownloadTaskWithURL:@"http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/ACELP.net/2001-04-11.asf" parameters:nil parentView:nil cachedData:^(NSCachedURLResponse *response,  NSURL *location) {

    } success:^(NSURLSessionDownloadTask *uploadTask,  NSURL *location) {
        NSLog(@"location %@", location);
    } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *uploadTask, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"error %@", error);
    }];

    [getR setDownloadProgressBlock:^(long long bytesWritten, long long totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {
        NSLog(@"bytesWritten => %lld and totalBytesExpectedToWrite = %lld", bytesWritten, totalBytesExpectedToWrite);
    }];

Pass object to response block

You can set custom object to your request object as userObject . This will allow any type

SWGETRequest *getRequest = [[SWGETRequest alloc]init];
getRequest.userObject = //any type object.

Identify the Request

You can set tag for the request

SWGETRequest *getRequest = [[SWGETRequest alloc]init];
getRequest.tag = 12;

Offline request from SWNetworking

This is really simple. First of all you need to send offline request expire time. this is seconds

    [SWOfflineRequestManger requestExpireTime:1300 ];

You have methods with parameter passing sendLaterIfOllfine. Just pass YES. That's it.

    SWGETRequest *getR = [[SWGETRequest alloc]init];
     getR.tag = 400;
     [getR startDataTaskWithURL:@"http://www.google.com" parameters:nil parentView:nil sendLaterIfOffline:YES cachedData:^(NSCachedURLResponse *response, id responseObject) {

     } success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *operation, id responseObject) {

     } failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *operation, NSError *error) {

     }];

If you want catch offline request you need to use following methods. Better to add following lines to your AppDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions methods.

    [[SWOfflineRequestManger sharedInstance] requestSuccessBlock:^(SWRequest *operation, id responseObject) {

        NSLog(@"%d", operation.tag);

    } requestFailBlock:^(SWRequest *operation, NSError *error) {

    }];

Please note you need to set tag or userObject to identify the request. userObject should be `'NSCording' support object

Set Task for UIProgressView

Please use following method to set task for UIProgressView

-(void)setDownloadTask:(NSURLSessionDownloadTask *)downloadTask;
-(void)setUploadTask:(NSURLSessionUploadTask *)downloadTask;
