# ``AmiiboService``
A Swift client for the Amiibo API.
## Overview
`AmiiboService` fetches data from the [Amiibo API](https://www.amiiboapi.org) and returns it as Swift models.
The library does not expose a generated client that maps one-to-one to the REST endpoints. Instead, ``AmiiboService`` offers one method per resource, takes a typed filter, returns sorted models, and throws a single ``AmiiboServiceError`` type.
## Installation
Add the package and the `AmiiboService` product to `Package.swift`:
```swift
let package = Package(
// name, platforms, products, etc.
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/rock-n-code/amiibo-service", from: "2.0.0"),
],
targets: [
.target(
name: "SomeTarget",
dependencies: [
.product(name: "AmiiboService", package: "amiibo-service"),
]
),
]
)
```
In Xcode, add the package URL under **File Add Package Dependencies…**.
> Important: Requires Swift 6.2 or later, and iOS 13, macOS 10.15, tvOS 13, visionOS 1, or watchOS 6 or later.
## Usage
Create an ``AmiiboService`` and call its methods. When you omit the filter, the method returns every item:
```swift
import AmiiboService
let service = AmiiboService()
// All amiibos
let amiibos = try await service.getAmiibos()
// Amiibos whose name contains "zelda"
let zeldaAmiibos = try await service.getAmiibos(.init(name: "zelda"))
// Amiibo series, types, game characters, and game series
let series = try await service.getAmiiboSeries()
let types = try await service.getAmiiboTypes()
let characters = try await service.getGameCharacters()
let gameSeries = try await service.getGameSeries()
// Date of the last data update (UTC)
let lastUpdated = try await service.getLastUpdated()
```
Results are sorted in ascending order by ``Amiibo/identifier`` or by `key`.
## Error handling
Every method throws ``AmiiboServiceError``. When nothing matches, ``AmiiboService/getAmiibos(_:)`` returns an empty array, while the other list methods throw ``AmiiboServiceError/notFound``:
```swift
do throws(AmiiboServiceError) {
let series = try await service.getAmiiboSeries(.init(key: "0x01"))
} catch .notFound {
// No amiibo series has this key.
} catch {
// .badRequest, .cancelled, .decoding, .notAvailable, .undocumented, or .unknown
}
```
## Caching
The library has no built-in cache. The Amiibo API asks regular consumers to cache responses.
To cache at the HTTP level, give ``AmiiboLiveClient`` a transport backed by a `URLCache`. The cache follows the server's cache headers:
```swift
import OpenAPIURLSession
let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.default
configuration.urlCache = URLCache(
memoryCapacity: 5_000_000,
diskCapacity: 50_000_000
)
let transport = URLSessionTransport(
configuration: .init(
session: URLSession(configuration: configuration)
)
)
let service = AmiiboService(
client: AmiiboLiveClient(transport: transport)
)
```
You can also store the returned models in your own application storage.
## Testing
To test without network access, pass a mock ``AmiiboClient`` to ``AmiiboService/init(client:)``. The mock can return stub data or throw ``AmiiboServiceError`` values. ``AmiiboClient`` refines `Sendable`, so the mock must be `Sendable`, too:
```swift
import AmiiboService
struct MockClient: AmiiboClient {
var error: AmiiboServiceError?
func getAmiibos(
by filter: AmiiboFilter
) async throws(AmiiboServiceError) -> [Amiibo] {
if let error { throw error }
return []
}
// Implement the remaining requirements...
}
let service = AmiiboService(client: MockClient())
```
