Back To IOS_Swift

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()
}

Example of fetching messages from Parse

Auto Table Row Height

//Auto table row height
 tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 92.0
 tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension

Navigation between storyboards

Navigate to Storyboard ID

var vc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("loginViewController") as UIViewController
window?.rootViewController = vc

Navigate Segue by Identifier

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)

Get UIVewController from Navigation Controller

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

NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self,
            selector: "functionName",
            name: NotificationName,
            object: nil)
func functionName(notification: NSNotification) {
        
}
