Lots of different abilities available via cocoapods..
To install to your project, open a terminal window
type “cd ” grab the project name from xcode, paste it next to the “cd ” press enter
You are now in the project directory
type “sudo gem install cocoapods”
type your password
Cocoapods should install for this project
For example lets say I want to install alamofire, and swiftyjson…. great ways to access url objects and parse the json that comes back.
In your terminal type “vi podfile”
You should see the editor
You will see something like this
target 'AppName' do
# Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
use_frameworks!
pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 2.5'
pod 'BDBOAuth1Manager'
target 'AppName' do
inherit! :search_paths
# Pods for testing
end
end
type “pod install” . you should see the pods install, and dont forget the include files within your swift code
import Foundation
import UIKit
import Alamofire
import SwiftyJSON
import GooglePlaces
let mapapikey = "YOUR MAP APIKEY"
class UrlSearch{
func SearchMapAPi(latString: String)
{
//print( "|||||||| ", latString )
let urlString = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?" + latString + "&radius=500&type=restaurant&key=YOUR MAP APIKEY"
print( urlString )
/*let url = URL(string: "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=13.88068,100.43575&radius=300&type=restaurant&key=YOUR MAP APIKEY")!
*/
let url = URL( string: urlString )
AF.request(url!).responseJSON { response in
switch response.result {
case .success(let value):
let swiftyJsonVar = JSON(response.result.value!)
let placeArray = swiftyJsonVar["results"]
var currentPlaceObj :sPlace
for i in 0 ..< placeArray.count {
let placeName = swiftyJsonVar["results"][i]["name"].string
let placeID = swiftyJsonVar["results"][i]["place_id"].string!
let placeAddress = swiftyJsonVar["results"][i]["vicinity"].string
let lat = swiftyJsonVar["results"][i]["geometry"]["location"]["lat"].double
let long = swiftyJsonVar["results"][i]["geometry"]["location"]["lng"].double
let locValue:CLLocationCoordinate2D = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(lat!, long! );
}
case .failure(let error):
print(error)
}
}
}
The above is a code snippet to get the google places information from the json returned using alamofire and swiftyjson. Please note this is asynchronous
Have you ever before had problems with your hosting?
I’m open for suggestions as my webhost is terrible currently.
Do you have any type of ideas for creating write-ups?
That’s where I constantly struggle as well as I just end up gazing empty screen for very long time.
