swift-networking

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive guide to building robust and efficient networking layers in Swift using modern async/await patterns with URLSession and Codable, reducing reliance on third-party libraries.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Modern Networking: Implement asynchronous network requests using async/await.
• Data Handling: Utilize Codable for seamless JSON encoding and decoding.
• API Client Pattern: Structure your network calls with a reusable APIClient actor.
• File Operations: Handle file downloads and uploads efficiently.
• WebSockets: Integrate real-time communication.
• SwiftUI Integration: Demonstrate how to use the networking layer within SwiftUI views.
• Use Case: Build a feature to fetch user data from a REST API, display it in a list, and allow users to refresh the data, all while handling loading states and potential errors gracefully.

Quick Start

Use the swift-networking skill to create a basic Swift function that fetches user data from a given URL using URLSession and decodes the JSON response into a User struct.
