I recently came across Daniel’s post on how to define the launch screen of iOS apps by leveraging the new SwiftUI app lifecycle. Just a couple of fields in the Info.plist and a color assets plus an image and you are good to go. I was immediately sold on the approach. Simple and elegant.
Most of our apps rely on network calls to work, and thanks to URLSession and Codable, consuming REST APIs has become a lot easier these days. That said, we are still writing quite a bit of code to deal with async calls, JSON encoding and decoding, HTTP error handling, and more.
With that in mind, let’s write our own simple networking library, specifically designed to consume REST APIs without effort, using a ‘convention over configuration’ approach, alongside Combine, URLSession, and the Codable protocol.

They act as lightweight repos, feature version control, and can include anything from a string to multiple files. You can also embed them on any website, which is excellent to share examples, but unfortunately, there’s no way to change the default syntax highlighting. Let’s fix that.
