Features and Functions

Summary

I created this app to practice my general Swift development skills, my ability to operate with popular APIs, and to continue exercising my general programming skills.

Key Feature(s)

API Calls for Youtube Data

• Getting Authorization for the API

• Creating a request for YouTube’s server

• Access the data from the response

HTTP Requests using the URLSession API

• Requesting JSON data from Yelp

• Uploading an image from a URL

General Programming Highlights

Asynchronous Coding

• During the use of the URLSession API, the code within that closure isn’t running on the main thread. There were things that needed to be done within that closure, but could only be done on the main thread. Asynchronous was the solution.
• An Example

Regular Expressions

• Used for making sure the location that the user enters is a proper location string (code).

General Swift Highlights

• Presenting specific storyboards based on specific conditions

• Codable structs for parsing JSON data from Yelp
