Alamofire Library


Alamofire Library

Alamofire is an HTTP network-based library used to manage web and response requests on iOS and MacOS. The folded section of URLSession also provides an interface at the top of Apple's communication stack, and it simplifies everyday communication tasks such as preparing HTTP requests and scanning JSON objects.

The great advantage of Alamofire is that it is fully documented at speed and does not benefit from the AFNetworking library used for C.

Provides request and response methods, JSON parameter and response serialization, authentication, and many other features. As Alamofire simplifies HTTP communication calls on iOS projects. Before Alamofire, we used to prepare all applications on our own. Response and multi-response requests were complex, including file uploads and downloads.

In this section of the study, we will discuss the function and use of the most popular communication library, Alamofire. We will set up a project and see how we can apply Alamofire to it.

We are setting up Alamofire for the iOS project.

Alamofire can be applied to a project using Cocoapods or Carthage. Since we used Cocoapods in this tutorial, we will stick to cocoapods installation. The Alamofire project can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire, where we can find documents regarding its installation.

However, let's build a new network telephony project and name it AlamoDemo. Here, we store it inside a folder named Alamofire on the desktop.
After creating a project, open the endpoint and change the direction of the project directory with the following command.

$ cd Desktop / Alamofire / AlamoDemo
Launch Podfile with the following command.

$ pod init
Now, in Podfile, add the next row to install Alamofire pods.

pod 'Alamofire'
Now use the following command to install the pods, and after successful installation, open the xcworkspace file project.

$ pod installation
