For fast code generation it is recommended to use the [Remote Request Application](https://github.com/moslienko/RemoteRequestApp/).

## Example

The example application is the best way to see `RemoteRequest` in action. Simply open the `RemoteRequest.xcodeproj` and run the `Example` scheme.

## Installation

### Swift Package Manager

To integrate using Apple's [Swift Package Manager](https://swift.org/package-manager/), add the following as a dependency to your `Package.swift`:

```swift dependencies: [     .package(url: "https://github.com/moslienko/RemoteRequest.git", from: "1.0.0") ] ```

Alternatively navigate to your Xcode project, select `Swift Packages` and click the `+` icon to search for `RemoteRequest`.

### Manually

If you prefer not to use any of the aforementioned dependency managers, you can integrate RemoteRequest into your project manually. Simply drag the `Sources` Folder into your Xcode project.

## Usage

### Rest request

The request is created through the property wrapper `@Route`.

```swift struct Route<Output: Decodable, MappableOutput, ErrorType: RestError>: RouteRestProtocol, RouteUploadProtocol {     init(         _ path: String,         method: HTTPMethod,         headers: [String: String] = [:],         parameters: [String: Any]?,         body: InputBodyObject?,         inputFile: InputFile?,         options: RouteOptions) } ```

Three parameters are passed to the wrapper:  - Responce model: `ObjectMappable`:

```swift protocol ObjectMappable: Codable {     associatedtype MappableOutput     func createModel() -> MappableOutput? } ```

- Domain layer model into which the response is mapped.  - Responds to server error handling: `RestError`:

```swift protocol RestError: Error, Codable {} ```

You can use your own class or existing ones in the library.

```swift typealias RegRestErrorResponse = RestErrorResponse<String?>

struct RestErrorResponse<T: Codable>: RestError {     let code: Int     let message: String     let data: T? } ```

Example:

```swift func fetchPost(postID: Int, completion: @escaping(ResultData <PostModel>) -> Void) {      @Route<PostResponse, PostModel, RegRestErrorResponse>(Routes.baseURL + "/posts/\(postID)", method: .get)      var fetchPost: URLRequest      _fetchPost.runRequest(completion: completion)  } ```

To simplify the syntax, it is recommended to use the following property wrappers, which already have a query method built in: `@GET`, `@POST`, `@PATCH`, `@PUT`, `@DELETE`.

Parameters that are passed to the request and will be sent in the body of the request must conform to the protocol `InputBodyObject`.

Example:

```swift func createPost(_ postRequest: CreatePostRequest, completion: @escaping(ResultData<IdendifierModel>) - > Void) {     @POST<IdendifierResponse, IdendifierModel, RegRestErrorResponse> (Routes.baseURL + "/posts", body: postRequest)     var createPost: RouteRestProtocol     createPost.runRequest(completion: completion) } ```

### Upload file

Create a request through the property wrapper `@UPLOAD`.

```swift @UPLOAD<EmptyResponse, Any, RegRestErrorResponse>("/upload", inputFile: file) var uploadPost: RouteUploadProtocol ```

```swift protocol RouteUploadProtocol {     func runUploadRequest<MappableOutput>(completion: @escaping (ResultData<MappableOutput>) -> Void, progressHandler: ((Double) -> Void)?) } ```

Or, you can create such a request via `Route`.

```swift @Route<EmptyResponse, Any, RegRestErrorResponse>("/upload", method: .post, inputFile: file) var uploadPost: URLRequest ```

During initialization, pass information about the file to be uploaded to `inputFile`.

```swift struct InputFile {     let data: Data     let filename: String     let fileKey: String     let mimeType: String } ```

### Async/await

The request is created as usual, only you need to change the call of the `runRequest` method.

```swift @available(iOS 15.0, *) func fetchPostsAwait() async throws -> Result <[PostModel], Error> {     @Route<[PostResponse], [PostModel], RegRestErrorResponse>(Routes.baseURL + "/posts", method: .get)     var fetchPost: URLRequest

return try await _fetchPost.runRequest() } ```

### Headers Headers are passed to the initialization method in `[String: String]` format.

Example:

```swift @Route<PostResponse, PostModel, RegRestErrorResponse>(Routes.baseURL + "/posts", method: .get, headers: ["AppClient": "iOS App 1.0.0"]) var fetchPosts: URLRequest ```

Another way is to create a structure where the header variable has the property wrapper `@Header`. For example:

```swift struct SampleHeaders {     @Header(.jwtAuth("eyJhbG..."))     @Header(.custom(key: "AppClient", value: "iOS"))     var header: [String: String] = [: ]

init() {         self.header = [:]     } } ```

So, you can create your own header or, if you need a header for authorization, use one of the existing initializers.

```swift enum HeaderBuilder {     case custom(key: String, value: String),         tokenAuth(_ token: String),         basicAuth(username: String, password: String),         jwtAuth(_ jwtToken: String) } ```

### Configuration

You can set configuration parameters for all requests at once, or you can separately set all or several parameters for one specific request.

```swift struct RouteOptions {     init(         timeoutInterval: TimeInterval,         isCompressionEnabled: Bool,         loggingLevels: LoggingLevels,         isNeedUseCache: Bool,         additionalHeaders: [String: String]     ) } ```

```swift enum LoggingLevels { 	case all, errors, none } ```

All parameters have their default values. If you want to change some parameter for all requests, configure it in the `RouteSessionOptions` singleton object.

```swift RouteSessionOptions.current.options.loggingLevels = .all ```

And if you want your own settings to be applied for a specific request, just provide them when initializing the request.

```swift @GET<PostResponse, PostModel, ErrorRespons>("/url", options: RouteOptions(loggingLevels: .errors)) var getPostsRequest: RouteRestProtocol ```

It means that in our example above, all requests will have full logging enabled, except for getPostsRequest, which has only error logging.

### Cashing

Configuring cache auto-deletion.

```swift CacheManager.shared.shouldAutoCleanCache = true CacheManager.shared.cacheExpirationInterval = 1600 ```

And enable the `isNeedUseCache` parameter in `RouteOptions`.

```swift @GET<[CommentResponse], [CommentModel], RegRestErrorResponse>(Routes.baseURL + "/posts/\(postId)/comments", options: RouteOptions(isNeedUseCache: true)) var request: RouteRestProtocol    ```
