# ``AmiiboService``

A library that provides everything the developer needs to interacts with the **Amiibo API** online service.

## Overview

The `AmiiboService` library is a Swift Package Manager package dependency aims at allowing the developer to interact with the [Amiibo API](https://www.amiiboapi.com) online service seamlessly, by not only providing the *service* tye but also any possible *clients*, *models*, *filters* and *errors* type that might be needed.

## Design

Although it could have been possible to generate a one-to-one RESTful client based on the Open API specification document that describe the available endpoints, it was decided to design a ``AmiiboService`` service that removes the complexities of the service's backend API, and provides the developer with a simple interface, and a seamless experience.

## Instalation

To use the `AmiiboService` library with your package, then add it as a dependency in the `Package.swift` file:

```swift
let package = Package(
    // name, platforms, products, etc.
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/rock-n-code/amiibo-service", from: "1.0.0"),
        // other dependencies
    ],
    targets: [
        .target(
            name: "SomeTarget", 
            dependencies: [
                .product(name: "AmiiboService", package: "amiibo-service"),
            ]
        )
        // other targets
    ]
)
```

It is also possible to use the `AmiiboService` library with your app in Xcode, then add it as a dependency in your Xcode project:

> important: Swift 5.9 or higher is required in order to compile this library.
