Making Network Request
var clientId = "Put your client id here" var url = NSURL(string: "https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/popular?client_id=\(clientId)")! var request = NSURLRequest(URL: url) NSURLConnection.sendAsynchronousRequest(request, queue: NSOperationQueue.mainQueue()) { (response: NSURLResponse!, data: NSData!, error: NSError!) -> Void in var responseDictionary = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: nil, error: nil) as NSDictionary self.photos = responseDictionary["data"] as NSArray self.tableView.reloadData() println("response: \(self.photos)") }
Use AFNetworking setImageWithURL
Create the bridging file: create a new Objective-C file, name it anything, and when you save it, Xcode will prompt you generate a bridging file.
In an Objective-C bridging file:
#import <AFNetworking/UIImageView+AFNetworking.h>
In the swift view file, to set a imageView using URL:
setImageWithURL(NSURL(string: thumbnailURL))
Adding UIRefreshControl
//refreshControl is automatically defined in UITableViewController var refreshControl: UIRefreshControl? override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() refreshControl = UIRefreshControl() refreshControl?.addTarget(self, action: "fetch", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.ValueChanged) tableView.insertSubview(refreshControl!, atIndex: 0) } //to stop refresh, call if let rc = self.refreshControl { self.refreshControl!.endRefreshing() }

Auto Table Row Height
//Auto table row height tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 92.0 tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
var vc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("loginViewController") as UIViewController window?.rootViewController = vc
First, drag a segue in storyboard and give it an identifier, then in the button action (or any action you like), do:
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("loginSegue", sender: self)
Sometimes, you want to access the UIViewController from a navigation controller
var vc = storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("navigationID") as UINavigationController var v = vc.viewControllers[0] as ViewController // [0] represents the first level UIViewController under NavigationController
Notification in Swift
Listen notification in swift
func tweetSent(notification: NSNotification) { let newTweet:Dictionary<String, Tweet> = notification.userInfo as Dictionary<String, Tweet> } NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: "tweetSent:", name: "newTweetNotification", object: nil)
Send/Post notification in swift
var userInfo: Dictionary<String, Tweet> = ["tweet": newTweet] NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("newTweetNotification", object: nil, userInfo: userInfo)
Remove notification observer
deinit { NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().removeObserver(self) }
