RealHTTP is a lightweight yet powerful async-based HTTP library made in Swift.
This project aims to make an easy-to-use, effortless HTTP client based on all the best new Swift features.
Below is a simple HTTP call in RealHTTP.
let todo = try await HTTPRequest("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1")
.fetch(Todo.self)One line of code, including the automatic decode from JSON to object.
Of course, you can fully configure the request with many other parameters. Take a look here:
let req = HTTPRequest {
// Setup default params
$0.url = URL(string: "https://.../login")!
$0.method = .post
$0.timeout = 15
// Setup some additional settings
$0.redirectMode = redirect
$0.maxRetries = 4
$0.headers = HTTPHeaders([
.init(name: .userAgent, value: myAgent),
.init(name: "X-API-Experimental", value: "true")
])
// Setup URL query params & body
$0.addQueryParameter(name: "full", value: "1")
$0.addQueryParameter(name: "autosignout", value: "30")
$0.body = .json(["username": username, "pwd": pwd])
}
let _ = try await req.fetch()The code is fully type-safe.
Integrated stubber is perfect to write your own test suite:
That's a simple stubber which return the original request as response:
let echoStub = HTTPStubRequest().match(urlRegex: "*").stubEcho()
HTTPStubber.shared.add(stub: echoStub)
HTTPStubber.shared.enable()Of course you can fully configure your stub with rules (regex, URI template and more):
// This is a custom stubber for any post request.
var stub = HTTPStubRequest()
.stub(for: .post, { response in
response.responseDelay = 5
response.headers = HTTPHeaders([
.contentType: HTTPContentType.bmp.rawValue,
.contentLength: String(fileSize,
])
response.body = fileContent
})
HTTPStubber.shared.add(stub: stub)That's all!

RealHTTP is fully documented at source-code level. You'll get autocomplete with doc inside XCode for free; moreover you can read the full Apple's DoCC Documentation automatically generated thanks to Swift Package Index Project from here:
RealHTTP has an extensive unit test suite covering many standard and edge cases, including request build, parameter encoding, queuing, and retries strategies.
See the XCTest suite inside Tests/RealHTTPTests folder.
RealHTTP can be installed on any platform which supports:
- iOS 13+, macOS Catalina+, watchOS 6+, tvOS 13+
- Xcode 13.2+
- Swift 5.5+
Add it as a dependency in a Swift Package, and add it to your Package. Swift:
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/immobiliare/RealHTTP.git", from: "1.0.0")
]And add it as a dependency of your target:
targets: [
.target(name: "MyTarget", dependencies: [
.product(name: "https://github.com/immobiliare/RealHTTP.git", package: "RealHTTP")
])
]In Xcode 11+ you can also navigate to the File menu and choose Swift Packages -> Add Package Dependency..., then enter the repository URL and version details.
RealHTTP can be installed with CocoaPods by adding pod 'RealHTTP' to your Podfile.
