How to parse Array with Alamofire 5-CodePudding

I need help in decoding json data with Alamofire 5. I'm confused about this array which I cannot decode....

[
    {
        "Date": "2022-08-08T00:00:00",
        "Day": "Fri",
        "AbsenceCount": 0,
        "AbsenceRequestComments": "Request permitted",
        "Color": "No",
        "IsRequestPermitted": true
    },
    {
        "Date": "2022-09-09T00:00:00",
        "Day": "Sat",
        "AbsenceCount": 0,
        "AbsenceRequestComments": "Request permitted",
        "Color": "No",
        "IsRequestPermitted": true
    },
    {
        "Date": "2022-12-15T00:00:00",
        "Day": "Sun",
        "AbsenceCount": 0,
        "AbsenceRequestComments": "Request permitted",
        "Color": "No",
        "IsRequestPermitted": true
    }
]

I'm trying all from this stackoverflow and didn't find something helpful for my case. Also I tried responseString, responseData, responseJSON and finaly responseDecodableOf with Codable model.

let request = AF.request(requestURL, method: .get, parameters: parameters, encoding: URLEncoding.default, headers: returnHeader())
    .validate()
    .responseDecodable(of: [CoverCheckForDay].self) { response in
        switch response.result {
        case .success:
            guard let value = response.value else { failure(""); return }
            success(value)
        case .failure(let error):
            failure(error.localizedDescription)
        }
    }

My model

struct CoverCheckForDay: Codable {
    let date: String
    let day: String
    let absenceCount: Int
    let absenceRequestComments: String
    let color: String
    let isRequestPermitted: Bool

    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case date = "Date"
        case day = "Day"
        case absenceCount = "AbsenceCount"
        case absenceRequestComments = "AbsenceRequestComments"
        case color = "Color"
        case isRequestPermitted = "IsRequestPermitted"
    }
}

I'm getting errors of invalid type, also in case of responseString I had some string: "\" . That's all, I'll be very thankfull for your help, thanks!

CodePudding user response：

Why don't you try decoding like this:

In your file but outside your struct add:

typealias CoverCheck = [CoverCheckForDay]

and decode like:

AF.request(requestURL, method: .get)
        .response{ response in
            switch response.result {
            case .success(let data):
                let newJSONDecoder = JSONDecoder()
                if let result = try? newJSONDecoder.decode(CoverCheck.self, from: data!){
                   print(result)
                }
            case .failure(let error):
                print(error)
            }
        }

CodePudding user response：

Your output is an empty string, your custom odd failure-value.

The problem is that the handling of the success case is wrong.

.success has a non-optional associated value like .failure which is the decoded object.

Change the code to something like

.responseDecodable(of: [CoverCheckForDay].self) { response in
    switch response.result {
    case .success(let coverCheckArray):
        success(coverCheckArray)
