How to add urlencoded parameter to httpBody in urlRequest

Question

i have created one common class for alamofire request i want to send parameters as aplication/x-www-form-urlencoded how to add the parameters to my urlRequest

i have managed to add parameters as application/json to urlRequest using below code

    do {
            urlRequest.httpBody = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options: [])
        } catch {
            throw AFError.parameterEncodingFailed(reason: .jsonEncodingFailed(error: error))
        }

i need something similar for aplication/x-www-form-urlencoded

case .ewalletData :
        return [K.APIParameterKey.token :"OP8JHOEOZ5KJW1X",K.APIParameterKey.fromMobile:"true",K.APIParameterKey.adminName:"binaryecom",K.APIParameterKey.limit:"100",K.APIParameterKey.offset:"0",K.APIParameterKey.userName:"OC6DGH"]

here is the code it works for me in swift 4: let postString = "your parameter="+value+"&your parameter="+value request.httpBody = postString.data(using: .utf8) let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request, completionHandler: completionHandle) task.resume()

try this :

        guard let request_url = URL(string: Url) else { return }
        let parameterDictionary = ["your parameter" : value]
        var request = URLRequest(url: request_url)
        request.httpMethod = "POST"

request.setValue("Application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.setValue("aplication/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "String")
        guard let httpBody = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameterDictionary, options: []) else {
            return
        }
        request.httpBody = httpBody

you don't need to write a separate answer. you can edit the existing one and append your answer. – Vinaykrishnan Jun 27 '19 at 06:56
I want others to know about different ways of passing parameters in body . – ZahraAsgharzade Jun 27 '19 at 06:57
Hi @ZahraAsqarzade i have got response successfully when Content-Type = Application/json. I want same for `aplication/x-www-form-urlencoded` with same parameters you provided in above example – Midhun Narayan Jun 27 '19 at 07:06
just set header again : ```request.setValue("aplication/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "String")``` – ZahraAsgharzade Jun 27 '19 at 07:15
we need to add `guard let httpBody = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameterDictionary, options: []) else { return }` also? can you please edit the answer for me? – Midhun Narayan Jun 27 '19 at 07:24
Still the parameters are not reaching the server – Midhun Narayan Jun 27 '19 at 09:01
