Moving towards a real-world example, you might want to wrap the request -> result cycle in your own network adapter, to make it a little easier to convert successful responses, show error messages and re-attempt after network failures.
struct Network {
static let provider = MoyaProvider<MyService>(endpointClosure: endpointClosure)
static func request(
target: MyService,
success successCallback: (JSON) -> Void,
error errorCallback: (statusCode: Int) -> Void,
failure failureCallback: (MoyaError) -> Void
) {
provider.request(target) { result in
switch result {
case let .success(response):
do {
try response.filterSuccessfulStatusCodes()
let json = try JSON(response.mapJSON())
successCallback(json)
}
catch error {
errorCallback(error)
}
case let .failure(error):
if target.shouldRetry {
retryWhenReachable(target, successCallback, errorCallback, failureCallback)
}
else {
failureCallback(error)
}
}
}
}
}
// usage:
Network.request(.zen, success: { zen in
showMessage(zen)
}, error: { err in
showError(err)
}, failure: { _ in
// oh well, no network apparently
})
