AmiiboService

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

Overview

The AmiiboService library is a Swift Package Manager package dependency aims at allowing the developer to interact with the Amiibo API backend service seamlessly, by not only providing the service type but also any possible clients, models, filters and errors types that might be needed during implementation.

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 of the backend service, it was decided to design a AmiiboService service type that removes the complexities of the API design imposed by the backend service, and provides the developer with a simple interface, and a seamless experience.

Installation

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

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 5.10 or higher is required in order to compile this library.
