An API changed its JSON, a field named contactMedium, that was coming in form of a Array changed to an Object:
was like this :
{
"contactMedium": [
{
"type": "EMAIL",
"characteristic": {
"emailAddress": "ibenedit"
}
}
],
}
become like this :
{
"contactMedium": {
"characteristics": {
"emailAddress": "ibeneditobr"
},
"type": "EMAIL"
},
}
My question is, how I implement the init's struct ("init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {") , to convert from object to Array ?
In my struct I tried to change:
from : public var contactMedium: [ContactMedium]?
to : public var contactMedium: ContactMedium?
But app crashes in various places, because of use the array's methods like filter.
This is quite ugly but to can help you. The new structure read the new JSON but return the previous interface `// Old structure
struct ContactMediumOld: Codable {
struct ContactMedium: Codable {
var type: String
struct Characteristic: Codable {
var emailAddress : String
}
var characteristic: Characteristic
}
var contactMedium: [ContactMedium]
}
// New structure
struct ContactMediumNew: Codable {
struct ContactMedium: Codable {
var type: String
struct Characteristic: Codable {
var emailAddress : String
}
// name of property also changed so use a computed for old name
private var characteristics: Characteristic
var characteristic: Characteristic {
characteristics
}
}
// read an simple object
private var contactMediumNew: ContactMedium
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case contactMediumNew = "contactMedium"
}
// but return an array
var contactMedium: [ContactMedium] {
[contactMediumNew]
}
}`
