Introduction
Welcome to the documentation for the MolAuthenticatingURLSession Cocoapod!
What is MolAuthenticatingURLSession
MolAuthenticatingURLSession is a powerful library that provides additional authentication features for URLSession, making it easier to handle authentication challenges.
Features
- Supports various types of authentication challenges, including basic, digest, NTLM, and OAuth.
- Handles authentication challenges seamlessly by providing a simplified interface.
- Automatic session continuation for authenticated requests.
- Extremely flexible and customizable.
- Compatible with iOS, macOS, and tvOS.
Installation
To install MolAuthenticatingURLSession with Cocoapods, add the following line to your Podfile:
pod 'MolAuthenticatingURLSession'
Then run pod install
command in your terminal to install the library.
Usage
Step 1: Import
In your Swift file, import the library by adding the following line at the top:
import MolAuthenticatingURLSession
Step 2: Create MolAuthenticatingURLSession instance
To start using MolAuthenticatingURLSession, create an instance of it by using the following code:
let session = MolAuthenticatingURLSession()
Step 3: Set authentication handler
You need to set the authentication handler to handle the authentication challenges that may occur during network requests. Here’s an example of how to set the handler:
session.authenticationHandler = { challenge, completionHandler in
// Handle authentication challenge here
}
Step 4: Make authenticated requests
Now you can make authenticated requests using the session
object you created. Here’s an example:
session.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) in
// Handle response here
}
Step 5: Handle session continuation
If the server responds with a 401 Unauthorized
status code, MolAuthenticatingURLSession automatically handles the authentication challenge and continues the session with the updated credentials. You can access the continuation property to check if the session has been continued.
if session.continuation {
// Session has been continued
}
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully learned how to set up and use MolAuthenticatingURLSession in your Swift project. Enjoy the additional authentication features it provides and simplify your network requests!
