Vapor VS Alamofire

Do you mean from first-principles, or letting someone else do the work and use a framework? The latter has been around for years, extremely easy: https://vapor.codes

IndiePitcher (https://indiepitcher.com) is email solution for tech companies allowing to send transactional/marketing emails, and manage email list subscriptions (like stripe subscription management portal).

An interesting fact for this community might be that the backend is a monolith written using Swift programming language (that one from Apple to make iPhone apps) using Vapor framework (https://vapor.codes), so I thought that I'd share it here.

I haven't used it yet, but I've heard really good things about Vapor as far as server side Swift goes...

Botter works in tandem with Vapor, which handles the server-side functions of your project. This powerful combination allows you to focus on what matters most - creating an engaging and effective chatbot.

// swift-tools-version: 5.8 // The swift-tools-version declares the minimum version of Swift required to build this package. import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "MyServer", platforms: [.macOS("12.0")], products: [ // Products define the executables and libraries a package produces, and make them visible to other packages. .executable( name: "MyServer", targets: ["MyServer"]), ], dependencies: [ .package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/vapor.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "4.70.0")), // Dependencies declare other packages that this package depends on. // .package(url: /* package url */, from: "1.0.0"), ], targets: [ // Targets are the basic building blocks of a package.

The Swift/Vapor project is a relatively easy way to do it.

I don't have any numbers, but I think this is still pretty common. On iOS for example Alamofire which is a popular network stack, still offers this as a feature. I think the use case is a bit different for apps and web sites, especially for closed ecosystems like Apple's where reverse engineering is not as easy/straightforward.

let package = Package( name: "YourAwesomeApp", dependencies: [ // Add your own dependencies here: // .package(url: "https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire", from: "5.0.0"), // You can read more about dependencies here: https://docs.tuist.io/documentation/tuist/dependencies .package(url:"https://github.com/RevenueCat/purchases-ios-spm.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "5.0.0")) ] )

To access the APIs, you need an API key, which which you can get with the free Basic plan. Once you have it, authorization is via a Bearer token making it easy to create a simple wrapper client using Alamofire.

Alamofire is a swift http request lib. By default, we need use completion handler to handle response. Today we are going to find out how to use it with async and await.

Looks like your Alamofire tutorial is out of date. I suggest you read the current documentation and update your code. For instance, you can update your example to:
