Question 1

How do I decode a nested JSON array with CodableAlamofire?

Accepted Answer

Use the `responseDecodableObject` method with a keyPath parameter, as shown in the README example for 'result.libraries'. Ensure your Decodable model matches the array structure, and specify the keyPath to target the nested data directly.

Question 2

CodableAlamofire vs. Alamofire's built-in Codable support: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

CodableAlamofire was created before Alamofire 5 added native Codable support. If you're on Alamofire 5+, the built-in methods are similar, but CodableAlamofire offers keyPath support and might be useful for legacy code or specific use cases. Check Alamofire's documentation for current features.

Question 3

Can I use CodableAlamofire with SwiftUI and Combine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it integrates well with SwiftUI and Combine. You can wrap the network calls in Combine publishers or use @Published properties to update UI. However, it doesn't provide built-in Combine publishers, so you might need to adapt the completion handlers.

Question 4

How to handle decoding errors in CodableAlamofire?

Accepted Answer

Errors are captured in the `AFDataResponse`'s error property. You can check `response.error` for network issues or decoding failures, and use custom JSONDecoder strategies to handle mismatches, like date formats, as shown in the README.

Question 5

Does CodableAlamofire support uploading Codable objects?

Accepted Answer

No, the library focuses on decoding responses, not encoding requests. For uploading, you'd need to use Alamofire's standard methods to encode Codable objects manually or with other extensions, as this isn't covered in the README.

Question 6

Is CodableAlamofire still maintained for the latest Swift versions?

Accepted Answer

The README shows support for Swift 5.x, but check the GitHub repo for recent updates. As of now, it appears maintained with CI badges, but adoption might slow with Alamofire's native Codable support in newer versions.
