How to parse Array with Alamofire 5

I need help in decoding json data with Alamofire 5. I'm confused about this array which I cannot decode....

[
    {
        "Date": "2022-08-08T00:00:00",
        "Day": "Fri",
        "AbsenceCount": 0,
        "AbsenceRequestComments": "Request permitted",
        "Color": "No",
        "IsRequestPermitted": true
    },
    {
        "Date": "2022-09-09T00:00:00",
        "Day": "Sat",
        "AbsenceCount": 0,
        "AbsenceRequestComments": "Request permitted",
        "Color": "No",
        "IsRequestPermitted": true
    },
    {
        "Date": "2022-12-15T00:00:00",
        "Day": "Sun",
        "AbsenceCount": 0,
        "AbsenceRequestComments": "Request permitted",
        "Color": "No",
        "IsRequestPermitted": true
    }
]

I'm trying all from this stackoverflow and didn't find something helpful for my case. Also I tried responseString, responseData, responseJSON and finaly responseDecodableOf with Codable model.

let request = AF.request(requestURL, method: .get, parameters: parameters, encoding: URLEncoding.default, headers: returnHeader())
    .validate()
    .responseDecodable(of: [CoverCheckForDay].self) { response in
        switch response.result {
        case .success:
            guard let value = response.value else { failure(""); return }
            success(value)
        case .failure(let error):
            failure(error.localizedDescription)
        }
    }

My model

struct CoverCheckForDay: Codable {
    let date: String
    let day: String
    let absenceCount: Int
    let absenceRequestComments: String
    let color: String
    let isRequestPermitted: Bool

    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case date = "Date"
        case day = "Day"
        case absenceCount = "AbsenceCount"
        case absenceRequestComments = "AbsenceRequestComments"
        case color = "Color"
        case isRequestPermitted = "IsRequestPermitted"
    }
}

I'm getting errors of invalid type, also in case of responseString I had some string: "\" . That's all, I'll be very thankfull for your help, thanks!

EDIT: error from alamofire

Solution

  • So guys problem was in server side with wrong method I guess. Backend developer from side did GET method with input data body. Web says that from 2019 Apple violate send body data with GET.

    Thanks everyone for your answers, so in some occasional it's my failure that I didn't checked this first.
