[Moya](https://github.com/Moya/Moya) is an elegant network abstraction layer which abstracts API endpoints gracefully with `enum`. However, it would become massive when the application is getting larger. **Whenever you add an endpoint, you should write code at least 5 places: enum case, `method`, `path`, `parameters` and `parameterEncoding` property.** It makes you scroll down again and again. Besides, if you would like to set different HTTP header fields, you should customize `endpointClosure` ...

Syntactic sugar for Moya.

Why?

Moya is an elegant network abstraction layer which abstracts API endpoints gracefully with enum. However, it would become massive when the application is getting larger. Whenever you add an endpoint, you should write code at least 5 places: enum case, method, path, parameters and parameterEncoding property. It makes you scroll down again and again. Besides, if you would like to set different HTTP header fields, you should customize endpointClosure of MoyaProvider.

If you're as lazy as I am, MoyaSugar is for you.

At a Glance

Forget about method, path, parameters, parameterEncoding and endpointClosure. Use route, params, httpHeaderFields instead.

swift
extension MyService: SugarTargetType { var route: Route { return .get("/me") } var params: Parameters? { return JSONEncoding() => [ "username": "devxoul", "password": "****", ] } var headers: [String: String]? { return ["Accept": "application/json"] } }

Use MoyaSugarProvider instead of MoyaProvider.

swift
let provider = MoyaSugarProvider<MyService>() let provider = RxMoyaSugarProvider<MyService>() // If you're using Moya/RxSwift

Complete Example

swift
import Moya import Moyasugar enum GitHubAPI { case url(String) case userRepos(owner: String) case createIssue(owner: String, repo: String, title: String, body: String?) case editIssue(owner: String, repo: String, number: Int, title: String?, body: String?) } extension GitHubAPI : SugarTargetType { /// method + path var route: Route { switch self { case .url(let urlString): return .get(urlString) case .userRepos(let owner): return .get("/users/\(owner)/repos") case .createIssue(let owner, let repo, _, _): return .post("/repos/\(owner)/\(repo)/issues") case .editIssue(let owner, let repo, let number, _, _): return .patch("/repos/\(owner)/\(repo)/issues/\(number)") } } // override default url building behavior var url: URL { switch self { case .url(let urlString): return URL(string: urlString)! default: return self.defaultURL } } /// encoding + parameters var params: Parameters? { switch self { case .url: return nil case .userRepos: return nil case .createIssue(_, _, let title, let body): return JSONEncoding() => [ "title": title, "body": body, ] case .editIssue(_, _, _, let title, let body): // Use `URLEncoding()` as default when not specified return [ "title": title, "body": body, ] } } var headers: [String: String]? { return [ "Accept": "application/json" ] } }

APIs

  • <a name="api-sugartargettype" href="#api-sugartargettype">๐Ÿ”—</a> protocol SugarTargetType

    diff
    - extension GitHubAPI: TargetType + extension GitHubAPI: SugarTargetType
  • <a name="api-route" href="#api-route">๐Ÿ”—</a> var route: Route

    Returns Route which contains HTTP method and URL path information.

    diff
    - var method: Method { get } - var path: String { get } + var route: Route { get }

    Example:

    swift
    var route: Route { return .get("/me") }
  • <a name="api-url" href="#api-url">๐Ÿ”—</a> var url: URL

    Returns the request URL. It retuens defaultURL as default, which is the combination of baseURL and path. Implement this property to return custom url. See #6 for detail.

  • <a name="api-params" href="#api-params">๐Ÿ”—</a> var params: Parameters?

    Returns Parameters which contains parameter encoding and values.

    diff
    - var parameters: [String: Any]? { get } + var params: Parameters? { get }

    Example:

    swift
    var params: Parameters? { return JSONEncoding() => [ "username": "devxoul", "password": "****", ] }

    Note: If the MoyaSugarProvider is initialized with an endpointClosure parameter, HTTP header fields of endpointClosure will be used. This is how to extend the target's HTTP header fields in endpointClosure:

    swift
    let endpointClosure: (GitHubAPI) -> Endpoint<GitHubAPI> = { target in let defaultEndpoint = MoyaProvider.defaultEndpointMapping(for: target) return defaultEndpoint .adding(newHTTPHeaderFields: ["Authorization": "MySecretToken"]) }
