When I print(error), I get the following response:
typeMismatch(Swift.Array<Any>, Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [], debugDescription: "Expected to decode Array<Any> but found a dictionary instead.", underlyingError: nil))
I checked the declaration of the foods array and it looks right.
class FDCDataService {
@Published var foods: Array<FDCFoodItem> = []
var cancellables = Set<AnyCancellable>()
var fdcSearchSubscription: AnyCancellable?
let devData: Constants = Constants()
let searchString = "%2BApple%20%2BFuji"
init() {
print("In class FDCDataService init()")
fdcSearch(searchFor: searchString)
print("After fdcSearch() cll")
}
private func fdcSearch(searchFor searchText: String) { [CODE CONTINUES AS SHOWN ABOVE]
OK, after a little research, I see that the JSON response includes some summary info about the request and is started with a curly bracket (the "dictionary" indicator.) So is there a way to specify not to include that data and just return the foods? Or is the right answer to create a add a dictionary property to my class and have it include the summary info variables as well as the [FoodItems] as an element of the dictionary?
