getting only one item from decoding json response iOS

Question

I've a response from MapBox API. I want to store each Feature object of features array in a array then want to display from that array to table view.

    "u"
],
features: [{

}

So, I create a model like this -

 struct Response: Codable {
      var features: [Feature]
 }

 struct Feature: Codable {
      var id: String!
      var type: String?
      var matching_place_name: String?
      var place_name: String?
      var geometry: Geometry
      var center: [Double]
      var properties: Properties
 }

 struct Geometry: Codable {
      var type: String?
      var coordinates: [Double]
 }

 struct Properties: Codable {
      var address: String?
 }

And Write this code -

var suggestedPlacenames: NSMutableArray = []
func doShowSuggestion(usersQuery: String) {
    let urlString = "\(mapbox_api)\(usersQuery).json?access_token=\(mapbox_access_token)"
    let url = URL(string: urlString)
    let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url!) { (data, response, error) in
         guard let data = data, error == nil else {
            print("Error in URLSeesion")
            return
        }
        if let result = try? JSONDecoder().decode(Response.self, from: data) {
            self.suggestedPlacenames.add(result)
            print(self.suggestedPlacenames.count)
        } else {}
        

But by this I always get 1 length from self.suggestedPlacenames whatever the length of the response in features. How can I get each features object separately in self.suggestedPlacenames?

Answer 1

In your code :

self.suggestedPlacenames.add(result)

You add only one element to your array. You must append the an array.

// declare as an array of features
var suggestedPlacenames = [Feature]()

self.suggestedPlacenames.append(contentsOf: result.features)

or

self.suggestedPlacenames += result.features
