class myApiService {
// Create a shared instance of SimpleNetworking
let networking = SimpleNetworking.shared
init() {
// Set base URL (optional)
networking.set(serverURL: "https://wesleydegroot.nl")

networking.set(userAgent: "My App")
// Set a custom authorization header (optional)
networking.set(authorization: "MyToken")
// Set a custom post type (optional)
networking.set(postType: .json) // .plain, .json, .graphQL
}
/// Get a user (GET request)
func getUser() async {
let response = await networking.request(
path: "/api/getUser",
method: .get
)
print(response.string)
}
/// Update a user (POST request)
func updateUser() async {
let response = await networking.request(
path: "/api/updateUser",
method: .post([
"firstname": "Wesley",
"lastname": "de Groot"
])
)
print(response.string)
}
/// Get all users (GET request)
func getUsers() async {
let response = await networking.request(
path: "/api/getUsers",
method: .get
)
struct userProfile: Codable {
let firstname: String
let lastname: String
}
// Decode the response
let userProfiles: [userProfile]? = networkResponse.decoded()
print(userProfiles)
}
}
