SwiftUI API / JSON Tutorial with Async Await Example
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 เม.ย. 2022
- This SwiftUI API / JSON / Networking tutorial walks you through how to properly use swiftui json parsing after fetching the data through an API. We create a struct and use swiftui codable, along with async / await to fill our list with the parsed data. SwiftUI is one of the best ways for beginners to learn how to create their own app in iOS / Swift. You will need Xcode to complete this tutorial.
We use a breaking bad API that can be found here:

I recently hit 800 subscribers - you guys are awesome!
Thanks for the tutorial! Can you post a link to the source code? I know it's not a lot of code, but I'm using Goodnotes on an iPad to make summaries of tutorials so I can keep track of all the tutorials and I import PDFs of the code, the mark it up with notes.
@@karljay7473 Idk if it helps but you could take a pic and import it onto a page in GoodNotes and make notes around it.
@@rachelradford5193 Thanks, that's what I ended up doing. Worked out pretty good.
thanks for the video, I´m from México, and i want to learn more about swiftUI
that’s great!!!
Idk who you are but I've watched a million tutorials about making async/await calls in swift, with varying degrees of success. I started doubting my life as a developer because it was so hard to understand, especially, coming from JavaScript. Idk why others feel its so necessary to over complicate things but I am so thankful for this video that I randomly found on a reddit thread!!
so awesome to hear - glad you liked it!!!
@@morelogankoshenka can you tell me why tis doesnt work?
import SwiftUI
import Foundation
struct Trivia: Codable, Hashable {
var category: String
var type: String
var difficulty: String
var question: String
//var isCorrect: Bool
//var correct_answer: String
///var incorrect_answers: [String]
}
struct TriviaApi: View {
@State private var trivia = [Trivia]()
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List(trivia, id: \.self) { trivia in
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
Text(trivia.question)
.font(.headline)
.foregroundColor(Color.blue)
}
}.navigationTitle("Trivia")
.task {
await fetch()
}
}
}
func fetch() async {
guard let url = URL(string: "opentdb.com/api.php?amount=10") else { return print("Missing URL")}
do {
let (data, _) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url)
if let decodedResponse = try? JSONDecoder().decode([Trivia].self, from: data) {
trivia = decodedResponse
}
}catch {
print("Error")
}
}
}
struct TriviaApi_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
TriviaApi()
}
}
If not, It's ok!!
instead of printing “error” in the catch statement in your fetch function, remove the quotes and call: print(error) … there is a built in error variable there that will be available if it gets to that point and you should be able to get more of an idea of what is going wrong … the majority of my issues w this has been with the URL or the decoding type!
@@morelogankoshenka Thanks for answering! Unfortunately that didn't help me out. I have seen ppl use .utf8 encoding in their API calls, I might try that out?? Swift has been so fun but there are some really funky problems I've come across. I really hope they continue to improve async/await. Thanks again!
This tutorial is truly amazing. I couldn't wrap my head around the async/await pattern no matter how many articles for "Swift beginners" I've read, but this video finally made it click. Thank you very much for the awesome tutorial :)
great to hear! thank you for watching!
Just thought id help the future Swift learners out there: this was the simplest and only tutorial that actually worked for my api.
yeah but don't use this tutorial as an example for the real world applications. He doesn't handle errors and response like it should , doesn't follow MVVM and many more...
this is a tutorial, meant to introduce people to async await, made when async / await came out … you are correct in that error handling is necessary in a real world application, and there are plenty of resources available out there … as far as MVVM, there is no one correct design pattern for SwiftUI or all of iOS for that matter … this is a quick, easy async / await tutorial, that’s it … a specific design pattern is irrelevant here, as several could be used depending on the scenario
I have been watching many tutors on youtube and bro you are the funniest, now Im gonna have to watch all of your videos.. thank you bruther :D
Simple and nice way of explaining Async/await, thanks Logan
Appreciate your regular working on Swiftui, helped me a lot.
🙏🏼
I always look forward to your videos 😆 Thank you for the great tutorial!
I appreciate it!!!
Excellent video. As a retired C++ programmer, following ur example, I was able to make an app for my day trading needs. Thank you so much. Your code is short and precise, right at the points. You must be a great engineer!
thank you so much 🤝🙏
Another great, to the point, explanation. Please keep making these, they're great.
thank you!
Very intuitive and fun Logan! Much appreciated brother 🙏
thanks so much!
Great short tutorial. I expanded on it by adding in a page displaying characters with names and clipped images.
nice! thanks for watching!
Man I hope you remember me from a previous comment, I’ve been binge watching your videos and they are hilarious (and useful), I’m laughing at every video ending 😂
hahah I appreciate it man!! thanks for letting me know 🤝
omg this is soooo clearly explained. I love you
😂❤️
Good drive and explanations. Keep it up!
thank you!
Thanks so much! News subs here! Your videos are perfect 🙂👍
thank you!!!
Great tutorial! Thanks!!!
thank you!
"cause I tried it" hahahahah love the channel man keep up this amazing and informative content :))
hahah thank you! I appreciate it!
Awesome! I’d love to your simple example for API call. Thanks a lot!!
thanks for watching!
Thankyou so much bro! I am a react native developer and just started learning SwiftUI, been looking for a solution to fetch data from an API but the nasty errors in xcode did not leave me alone. This solution worked well!!
great to hear!
Such a good tutorial 👏 entertaining as well
means a lot, thank you!!
Very good thank you.
thanks 😁
Great!! Thx 🙏🏼
thanks for watching!
thank you very much. this video is beneficial for beginners like me 😋👍
glad you like it!!!
One more question, where would you put .resume if one had too? Thanks again.
how to setup admob to swiftui?
Bro ...can u do more videos cuz I like your presentation. And easy to understand. I really like it bro. Keep Going ❤️
Of course - thank you so much!
Thank YOu
thanks for watching!
This was so tuff
I love your videos... please, make video to explain how use Google IPA with Oauth 2.0
i have error like this "Info.plist contained no UIScene configuration dictionary (looking for configuration named "(no name)")" anyone know why ??
hmm I'm not sure what this could be but if I'm able to find an answer I'll reply here.
Nice video thank you.What if I have a JSON file with all my data can I upload it to a server and how would I read the data from this file and not from an api site? thank u
you should be able to use the URL to your server! if not, reading the JSON file locally is always an option too!
Canvas Simulator in XCode is so unnervingly slow, I wonder why they don’t include the Swift Playgrounds previewer in XCode.
It’s so much faster.
Hi....Fantastic Tutorial. I'm new to APIs. One quick question, why didn't you include the .resume in the code? Doesn't async need it? Thanks.
Yes haha I probably should have … in most instances you’ll be using .resume so it would’ve made sense to show a scenario where you’d need it. My bad!
Thanks for the code, really needed this. Though the api is kaput.
Awesome tutorial. Can you make a video on custom line charts?
It would be cool to show how to load data as the user drags the chart to the left or right.
Thanks! And yes - I want to look into the new SwiftUI Charts capabilities!
nice
thank you!
Your video is amazing. I have a doubt though. How to limit number of quotes based on input from textfield?
for limiting number of quotes, you could do List or ForEach(0…10) for example
@@morelogankoshenka thank you 😊
no problem!
Good job dude!, im new fan :)
Can you do video about testing “swift playground 4” app ? It’s on ipad and mac.
thank you! and yes I’ll look into it :)
Hey! question how can i reload the data every 1 minute? And by the way good video learned a lot from it.
Thanks! You’d have to use some sort of timer … I think if you do a couple timer tutorials, combine what you learned here & w those, and you’ll be able to repeat a task for as long / often as you’d like! But yeah, look into the Timer type.
Thank you for sharing this content, simple and to the point.
Can you please let me know how to pass header values ?
thank you! can you elaborate a little more? what do you mean header values?
@@morelogankoshenka a http header, like an api-key?
ahhh ok let me look into it
@@morelogankoshenka I’m actually a FullStack developer, but I’m just couple of days old in the realm of iOS development 😅. I have some APIs to call, but they require an API Key to be passed as part of the header.
I saw some other references, but I really liked your coding style (to the point & no unnecessary complexity) and I wanted to know the simple and right way from you.
If possible, can add on what is the best practice to place such keys? In a normal web app, it’ll be injected during the build process
love it! and typically in my experiences you’ll see certain APIs requiring keys, and you’ll just plug that in during configuration or when you’re setting up your URL … I usually just store that as a variable and plug it in as needed
How do you decode a single object and not an array of objects?
Your api endpoint will have to point to a specific object, usually done via a unique ID, and then you just change the @State variable and the array you’re decoding into that single type
@@morelogankoshenka How exactly would I declare it as a single type?
@State private var pets = Pets ?
@State private var pet = Pet … then you won’t be able to use a list, so maybe just display 1 text on the screen since you’ll only be getting a single object
@@morelogankoshenka Can't I use a ForEach loop interchangeably with a List? But yea my state variable didn't work , I was met with a "Expected member name or constructor call after type name" error
Yeah you could make a list just repeat the same thing if you want … it may have to be var pet: Pet or var pet = Pet() instead
Thanks for the tutorial but for some reason there is no error but nothing shows up
a few of the comments mentioned that the API was discontinued … I would say to take the structure & concepts from this tutorial and use it for other APIs!
@@morelogankoshenka Thank you for the prompted reply. I will keep you posted. Thanks again for the amazing word your way of explaining is so easy to follow. I am looking forward to more tutorials
thanks so much!
nice nice nice
thanks!
Please next tutorial of image api
Have you seen my AsyncImage video?
it’s all good but all the guards and try statements they’re daunting.
100%
BOOM LOOK AT THAT HUH :D:D
the api is now going to a web page that requires a gmail sign up just letting you
also sending to other pages not sure what's going on there
mannn I picked the wrong API when making this video!!
great video sadly I think this api is offline now :/
ahhh dang! I’ll have to look into it.
ya doesnt work (((
@@morelogankoshenka lol why did you delete my comment?
@@nickpavlov4012 it’s still there bub, I don’t delete any comments
I wish this API was still active but the same concepts apply to whatever APIs you find / use! 💪🏼
Great attitude, but you need to explain what you are using and why. learning is not about getting to the destination without knowing how we got there.
fair point - appreciate the feedback
