Aries

Aries is a iOS(Swift), Andorid(not yet, but future) HTTP client generator for APIs represented with JSON Schema

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'aries'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install aries

Aries generates an HTTP client from a JSON schema that describes your API. Look at prmd for tooling to help write a JSON schema. When you have a JSON schema prepared you can generate a client for your API

$ bin/aries generate json-schema.json

Aries can setup costom config for api client class name, base url, output path.

$ bin/aries generate json-schema.json --name MyApi \
                                      --url http://api.myapp.com \
                                      --output /path/to/dir

Dependent on SwiftTask, Alamofire, Aries api client should be used with these libraries, and works like promise style.

Aries api client behaves use the following.

Api.TodoItem.Read().success { (value: AnyObject) -> Void in
    let items = value as [[String:AnyObject]]
    println(items)
}.failure { (error, isCancelled) -> Void in
    return
}

Aries has Custom Delegation for request, response for authenticatin, custom header, etc.

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, AriesApiDelegate {

    self.token: String? = nil

    func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
        AriesApi.delegate = self
        return true
    }

    func onFailure(err: NSError) -> NSError {
        debugPrintln(err)
        return err
    }

    func onSuccess(response: AnyObject) -> AnyObject {
        debugPrintln(response)
        return response
    }

    func beforeRequest(request: NSMutableURLRequest) -> NSMutableURLRequest {
        debugPrintln(request)
        request.setValue("Bearer \(self.token)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
        return request
    }

}

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
