Hello
I don't get any error when I fetch data but when I run I don't see any data
Thank you 


Code Block 
import SwiftUI
import Combine
struct ContentView: View {
    @ObservedObject var networkController = NetworkController()
    @State var search: String = ""
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView{
            Form{
                Section(){
                    TextField("Search", text: $search)
                }
                Section(){
                    List(networkController.users.filter {
                            $0.state.contains(search) }
                         , id: \.state){ user in

@Jad-T
Thanks for showing the result. The most important part is the value of completion at the bottom:
Code Block 
failure(Swift.DecodingError.valueNotFound(Swift.Int, Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [_JSONKey(stringValue: "Index 3", intValue: 3), CodingKeys(stringValue: "deathConfirmed", intValue: nil)], debugDescription: "Expected Int value but found null instead.", underlyingError: nil)))

  • "Expected Int value but found null instead." means some value, which you expect as integer, was not an integer but null.

  • _JSONKey(stringValue: "Index 3", intValue: 3) represents that was in the fourth element of the JSON array.

  • CodingKeys(stringValue: "deathConfirmed", intValue: nil) states that the key was "deathConfirmed".

In fact, when I access the URL directory with browser, I get this:
Code Block

Can you see "deathConfirmed": null,? The API may return null for "deathConfirmed".

Your model type needs to be ready for null:
Code Block 
struct User: Decodable, Hashable {
    var state: String
    var positive: Int
    var deathConfirmed: Int? //<-
}


Your DetailView needs to adapt to this change:
Code Block 
struct DetailView: View {
    
    var gridItemLayout = [GridItem(.flexible()), GridItem(.flexible())]
    
    var positive: Int
    var state: String
    var deathConfirmed: Int? //<-
    var body: some View {
        ...
                GroupBox{
                    VStack{
                        Text("State: ") //<-???
                        Divider()
                        Text(deathConfirmed.map{"\($0)"} ?? "?") //<-
                            .cornerRadius(16)
                    }
                }.padding()
            }
            .navigationBarTitle(state)
        }
    }
}

Have you checked the content you get at each step of:
Code Block 
        self.can = URLSession.shared.dataTaskPublisher(for: url)
            .map { $0.data }
            .decode(type: [User].self, decoder: JSONDecoder())
            .replaceError(with: [])
            .eraseToAnyPublisher()
            .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
            .sink(receiveValue: { users in
                self.users  = users
            })

I don't get any error

You do not get any error because you are replacing error with empty result.
In the line marked as <- in your code:
Code Block 
   init() {
        self.can = URLSession.shared.dataTaskPublisher(for: url)
            .map { $0.data }
            .decode(type: [User].self, decoder: JSONDecoder())
            .replaceError(with: []) //<-
            .eraseToAnyPublisher()
            .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
            .sink(receiveValue: { users in
                self.users  = users
            })
    }


Please try changing the lines above as follows and tell us what you see:
Code Block 
    init() {
        self.can = URLSession.shared.dataTaskPublisher(for: url)
            .map { $0.data }
            .decode(type: [User].self, decoder: JSONDecoder())
            //.replaceError(with: [])
            .eraseToAnyPublisher()
            .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
            .sink(receiveCompletion: {completion in
                print(completion)
            }, receiveValue: { users in
                self.users  = users
            })

I tested in playground and got nothing.
Problem is probably your line 41.

I modified like this and seemed to work much better when appending after completion:

Code Block 
var users : [User] = []
let can = URLSession.shared.dataTaskPublisher(for: uUrl)
    .map { $0.data }
    .decode(type: [User].self, decoder: JSONDecoder())
    .replaceError(with: [])
    .eraseToAnyPublisher()
    .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
    .sink(receiveCompletion: { print ("Received completion: \($0)."); print(users.count, users[1]) },
          receiveValue: { user in print ("Received user: \(user).") ; users.append(contentsOf: user)
          })

print gives:
56 User(state: "AL")

Still not working

Code Block 
struct User: Decodable, Hashable {
    var state: String
    var positive: Int
    var deathConfirmed: Int
}

I don't know why but when I delete deathConfirmed it works

@Jad-T
Thanks for showing the result. The most important part is the value of completion at the bottom:
Code Block 
failure(Swift.DecodingError.valueNotFound(Swift.Int, Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [_JSONKey(stringValue: "Index 3", intValue: 3), CodingKeys(stringValue: "deathConfirmed", intValue: nil)], debugDescription: "Expected Int value but found null instead.", underlyingError: nil)))

  • "Expected Int value but found null instead." means some value, which you expect as integer, was not an integer but null.

  • _JSONKey(stringValue: "Index 3", intValue: 3) represents that was in the fourth element of the JSON array.

  • CodingKeys(stringValue: "deathConfirmed", intValue: nil) states that the key was "deathConfirmed".

In fact, when I access the URL directory with browser, I get this:
Code Block

Can you see "deathConfirmed": null,? The API may return null for "deathConfirmed".

Your model type needs to be ready for null:
Code Block 
struct User: Decodable, Hashable {
    var state: String
    var positive: Int
    var deathConfirmed: Int? //<-
}


Your DetailView needs to adapt to this change:
Code Block 
struct DetailView: View {
    
    var gridItemLayout = [GridItem(.flexible()), GridItem(.flexible())]
    
    var positive: Int
    var state: String
    var deathConfirmed: Int? //<-
    var body: some View {
        ...
                GroupBox{
                    VStack{
                        Text("State: ") //<-???
                        Divider()
                        Text(deathConfirmed.map{"\($0)"} ?? "?") //<-
                            .cornerRadius(16)
                    }
                }.padding()
            }
            .navigationBarTitle(state)
        }
    }
}

So, your init would be

Code Block 
    init() {
        var receivedUsers : [User] = []
        self.can = URLSession.shared.dataTaskPublisher(for: url)
            .map { $0.data }
            .decode(type: [User].self, decoder: JSONDecoder())
            .replaceError(with: [])
            .eraseToAnyPublisher()
            .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
            .sink(receiveCompletion: { _ in users = receivedUsers },
                    receiveValue: { user in receivedUsers.append(contentsOf: user)
          })
    }


On your posts:

  • when you reply, please tell which proposal you replied to

  • don't just say "it doesn't work". Take time, as those who answer to help you, to explain what you exactly tried, what you get,
