I have a web script which accepts JSON string as input through HTTP POST request.
I have came across several AFNetworking 1.x example for the same , can anybody please point me or give AFNetworking 2.0 example to do an HTTP POST request to a web script with formatted JSON as input ?
Thanks
after searching docs and trying out some codes I got following as an example
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
NSDictionary *params = @ {@"user" :txtUserName, @"pwd" :txtPwd };
[manager POST:URL_SIGNIN parameters:params
success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject)
{
NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);
}
failure:
^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
}];
Also don't forget to set response header type in the server script as Application/json.
Here is some simple template for POST parameters stored in NSMutableDictionary
parameters in JSON format. Works with AFNetworking 2.4.1.
NSString *baseURL = @"http://your-server.com/";
NSString *path = @"method/url/";
NSMutableDictionary *parameters = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[parameters setObject:@"value" forKey:@"key"];
AFHTTPSessionManager *manager = [[AFHTTPSessionManager alloc] initWithBaseURL:baseURL];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
[manager POST:path parameters:parameters success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, id responseObject) {
NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);
//here is place for code executed in success case
} failure:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, NSError *error) {
//here is place for code executed in error case
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error while sending POST"
message:@"Sorry, try again."
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alertView show];
NSLog(@"Error: %@", [error localizedDescription]);
}];
If you want to post json to server, you should post your parameters use this way below.
Use this way , you can then find out the "Content-Type" in your request header is "application/json".
AFJSONRequestSerializer *serializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
[serializer setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[serializer setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Accept"];
manager.requestSerializer = serializer;
NSDictionary *paras = @{@"uid" : @(10020)};
[manager POST:@"http://your.request.url" parameters:paras success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
}failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"the falire is %@", error);
}];
May this help. :)
In swift:
Add this in manager.AFHTTPRequestOperationManager
manager.requestSerializer = AFJSONRequestSerializer(writingOptions: NSJSONWritingOptions.PrettyPrinted)
if you want to post parameter dictionary json string use following code
NSMutableURLRequest * urlRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"your_webservice_post_url"]];
[urlRequest setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Accept"];
[urlRequest setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
NSError *error;
NSDictionary *parameters = @{@"customValue":@"value"};
NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:parameters options:NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted error:&error];
[urlRequest setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[urlRequest setHTTPBody:jsonData];
