Append multiple data to httpbody of URLRequest

Question

I want to append another dictionary as a parameter to httpBody of URLRequest

Request Model:

struct RequestModel: Encodable {

    let body: Body
}

struct Body: Encodable {
    let name: String
    let score: String
    let favList: [String]
}

Api Request:

do {
            var urlRequest = URLRequest(url: resourceURL)
            urlRequest.httpMethod = kHTTPMethodPOST
            urlRequest.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
            urlRequest.httpBody = try JSONEncoder().encode(self.requestModel)

            let dataTask = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: urlRequest) { data, response, error in

                guard let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse,
                    httpResponse.statusCode == 200,
                    let jsonData = data else {
                        completion(.failure(.responseError))
                        return
                }


            }
            dataTask.resume()

        } catch {
         completion(.failure(.unknownError))
        }

Another dictionary: airports

var airports: [String: String] = ["YYZ": "Toronto Pearson", "DUB": "Dublin"]

trying to append airports dictionary parameter to URLRequest but can't append.

Appreciate your help and suggestion!

Thanks

Answer 1

If you have to append the airports dictionary to the request body, you may want to include it in the Request model itself.

I would suggest updating your RequestModel and make it Encodable.

And include your airports dict as a part of your RequestModel

Something like this

struct RequestModel: Encodable {

    let body: Body
    let airportsDict: [String:String]
}

struct Body: Encodable {
    let name: String
    let score: String
    let favList: [String]
}

This way your httpBody will have all the data you want to pass.

Hope this helps
