This is my non-reactive code that works just fine.
func getLatestHtml2 () {
Alamofire.request("https://www.everfest.com/fest300").responseString { response in
print("\(response.result.isSuccess)")
if let html = response.result.value {
self.parseHTML(html: html)
}
}
}
However when I make it reactive using this code.
func getLatestHtml1() -> Observable<String> {
return Observable<String>.create { (observer) -> Disposable in
let request = Alamofire
.request("https://www.everfest.com/fest300")
.responseString { response in
print(response.result.value)
observer.onNext(response.result.value!)
observer.onCompleted()
}
return Disposables.create { request.cancel() }
}
}
I get no data in the print statement. I even used RxAlamofire, which I feel is the right way with this code and it has error checking:
func getLatestHtml() -> Observable<String?> {
return RxAlamofire
.requestData(.get,"https://web.archive.org/web/20170429080421/https://www.everfest.com/fest300" )
.debug()
.catchError { error in
print(error)
return Observable.never()
}
.map { (response, value) in
print(response.statusCode)
guard response.statusCode == 200 else { return nil }
print(value)
return String(data: value, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
}
.asObservable()
}
which produced no data or errors anywhere. I need to know if my syntax is wrong or my thinking regarding reactive programming is wrong.
I cam calling it as .getLatestHTMLX(). Thanks !
