As you can see, my API Client has a method that takes in an endpoint. fireRequest(endpoint:, ofType:) I check the http method of endpoint to see if I'm retrieving a single object or a list of objects. I know to download a list if the method is GETALL. How else could I reason about getting objects so that I don't need to make up my own method. I have never seen this done and wondering if its bad code.
Here is where GETALL is used.
/// Responsible for Making actual API requests & Handling response
/// Returns an observable object that conforms to JSONable protocol.
/// Entities that confrom to JSONable just means they can be initialized with json & transformed from swift to JSON.
func rx_fireRequest<Entity: JSONable>(_ endpoint: FirebaseEndpoint, ofType _: Entity.Type ) -> Observable<[Entity]> {
return Observable.create { [weak self] observer in
self?.session.dataTask(with: endpoint.request, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) in
/// Parse response from request.
let parsedResponse = Parser(data: data, response: response, error: error)
.parse()
switch parsedResponse {
case .error(let error):
observer.onError(error)
return
case .success(let data):
var entities = [Entity]()
switch endpoint.method {
/// - Flatten JSON strucuture to retrieve a list of entities.
case .GETALL:
/// Key (underscored) is unique identifier for each entity
/// value is k/v pairs of entity attributes.
for (_, value) in data {
if let value = value as? [String: AnyObject], let entity = Entity(json: value) {
entities.append(entity)
}
}
/// Force downcast for generic type inference.
observer.onNext(entities as! [Entity])
//observer.onCompleted()
/// All other methods return JSON that can be used to initialize JSONable entities
default:
if let entity = Entity(json: data) {
observer.onNext([entity] as! [Entity])
//observer.onCompleted()
} else {
observer.onError(NetworkError.initializationFailure)
}
}
}
}).resume()
return Disposables.create()
}
}
}
