YYHRequest
YYHRequest
is a simple and lightweight class for loading asynchronous HTTP requests in Swift. Built on NSURLConnection
and NSOperationQueue
. YYHRequest
is not intended to be a full-featured networking framework but instead a simple wrapper to avoid the boilerplate of using NSURLConnection
and NSURLRequest
for simple networking tasks.
- Lightweight design - just a single wrapper class
- Avoid the boilerplate of
NSURLConnection
andNSURLRequest
for simple networking tasks - Simple API for setting request headers, query parameters, and form data
Original Objective-C version available here.
Getting Started
Create and load a request
let request = YYHRequest(url: NSURL(string: "http://www.google.com/"))
request.loadWithCompletion {response, data, error in
if let actualError = error {
// handle error
} else if let actualResponse = response {
// handle success
}
}
Create request and load manually.
let request = YYHRequest(url: NSURL(string: "http://www.google.com/"))
request.method = "POST"
request.parameters["foo"] = "bar"
request.completionHandler = { response, data, error in
// request complete!
}
request.loadRequest()
