[SOLVED] Handle No Internet Connection Error Before Try to Parse the Result in Alamofire

Handle No Internet Connection Error Before Try to Parse the Result in Alamofire

How should I handle if there is an error occurs when there is no internet connection in Alamofire. I tried checking if data is nil or not but it does not work.

Below is how I use Alamofire

Alamofire.request(.POST, REGISTER_URL, parameters: parameters, encoding: .JSON, headers: getAuthenticationHeader()).response { (request, response, data, errorType) -> Void in

    let resultObject: APIResults = APIResults(JSONDecoder(data!));
    let responseCode: Int = Int(resultObject.code!)!;// THIS CRASHES WHEN THERE IS NO INTERNET CONNECTION

    if (responseCode == 200) {
        available = true;
    }

    finished = true;

}

Solution

I agree with @Shripada. First you should use Reachability to check for connectivity. There is a Swift library here: https://github.com/ashleymills/Reachability.swift

additionally you can use one of the Alamofire validation methods:

Alamofire.request(.POST, REGISTER_URL, parameters: parameters, encoding: .JSON, headers: getAuthenticationHeader()).validate(statusCode: 200 ..< 300).response { (request, response, data, error) -> Void in
    if error != nil {
        println("Server responded with: \(response.statusCode)")
        return
    }

    // Handle your response data here
}
