What it is

Moya is a Swift library for making network requests in iOS and macOS apps. It lets developers describe API endpoints as typed values instead of scattering raw URL strings through the code. This makes requests easier to organize, test, and swap out. The README provided here was empty, so this description relies on the repository's description and topics.

  • Define a set of API endpoints as typed Swift values
  • Stub network responses in unit tests
  • Add reactive wrappers using the ReactiveSwift or RxSwift topics listed on the repository

Great for

  • Swift developers building iOS or macOS apps that call web APIs
  • Teams that want network calls organized in one place
  • Developers who want to write tests that stub out network responses

Not ideal for

  • Projects that only need a simple one-off request and no layer on top, since the abstraction adds setup
  • Non-Swift projects, since it is written in Swift
  • Anyone needing details on exact features, because the README supplied was empty

    You'll need: Xcode · Swift

    Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/Moya/Moya
  2. 2

    Run it

    • Add Moya to your Swift project using your dependency manager of choice
    • Define an endpoint enum for your API
    • Create a provider and make a request
  3. 3

    Get the most out of it

    • Pair it with the reactive extensions if your project already uses ReactiveSwift or RxSwift
    • Use its testing support to stub responses without a live server

Strengths

  • Open source under the MIT license
