Inspired by https://github.com/marksands/BetterCodable/blob/master/Sources/BetterCodable but supporting nested collections and with simplified code.
These property wrappers allows decoding `Array`s and `Dictionary`s and ignore elements that fail to decode.
For example, this will ignore any elements that aren't numbers, instead of failing to decode altogether.
```swift
struct Data: Decodable {
@LossyArray var list: [Int]
@LossyDictionary var map: [String: Int]
}
```
This does require that the values are the right type, but these wrappers can be composed with `@DefaultDecodable.EmptyArray` and `@DefaultDecodable.EmptyDictionary` introduced in #1537 to make it produce an empty array in case of any other type error:
```swift
struct Data: Decodable {
@DefaultDecodable.EmptyArray @LossyArray var list: [Int]
@DefaultDecodable.EmptyDictionary @LossyDictionary var map: [String: Int]
}
```
Because of limitations of the property wrappers in Swift, an extra type `LossyArrayDictionary` allows lossy decoding of types `[String: [Decodable]`.
This will be used to vastly simplify #1496.
Follow up to #1537.
`EntitlementInfo.ProductData` and related types will be moved out as part of #1496, to become part of the `CustomerInfo` response. But this is an intermediate change to simplify the decoding of this part of the data.
The main difference is that `default` has `KeyEncodingStrategy.convertToSnakeCase`. Probably everything was still working because the types that use this explicitly define the keys.
Either way this makes more sense long term.
## Changes:
- Improved output of decoding errors:
#### Before:
```
[Purchases] - ERROR: 😿‼️ Couldn't decode data from json. Error:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (RevenueCat.CodableError error 0.))
```
#### After:
```
[Purchases] - ERROR: 😿‼️ Couldn't decode data from json. Error:
Found unexpected value 'tienda' for type 'Store'
```
- `CodableStrings.decodingError` relied on `Error.localizedDescription`, so `CodableError` now conforms to `LocalizedError` to provide that as well
- Added incorrect `value` to the error to find out why it was invalid
- Removed extra `)` at the end of the error string
- Cleaned up `switch`es to use a single `let` syntax
Closes#695 and finishes [CF-195].
Depends on ~~#1431, #1432, #1433, #1437~~.
## Goals:
- [x] Handle all requests / response / deserialization errors in `HTTPClient`. Clients of `HTTPClient` will only have to handle the "happy" path: #1431
- [x] `HTTPClient` shouldn't return `Result.success` with failed responses, forcing clients to verify the response is actually a failure: https://github.com/RevenueCat/purchases-ios/pull/1431
- [x] Abstract error response deserialization / error creation: #1427
- [x] Abstract attribute error parsing: #1427
- [x] Move response deserialization to `HTTPClient` based on a `ResponseType: Decodable` type, so the completion block will simply return a `Result<HTTPResponse<ResponseType>, Error>`
- [x] `ETagManager` should store response `Data` instead of a deserialized `[String: Any]`
- [x] Improved error types in `HTTPClient` to fix tests: #1437
- [x] Dealt with non-backwards compatible `ETagManager: #1438
## Changes:
- Replaced `HTTPResponse`'s body from `[String: Any]` to a generic `HTTPResponseBody`.
- Created `HTTPResponseBody` to abstract `Decodable` and provide some default implementations for types like `Data,` `[String: Any]` (for backwards compatibility to types that aren't `Decodable` yet), and `Decodable` itself.
- New `HTTPResponse.Result` typealias (`Result<HTTPResponse<HTTPResponseBody>, Error>`) used everywhere. This will allow replacing `Error` with a more specific `Error` so we can forward known typed errors, and make sure that we don't end up with the wrong error type, or with a very complex error hierarchy and the details buried in `underlyingError`.
- Each layer (only a few for now) has its own error type: `NetworkError`, `BackendError`, `OfferingsManager.Error`.
- `HTTPClient` for example has to produce `NetworkError`, operations produce `BackendError`
- The parent `BackendError` can have specific errors like `.missingAppUserID`, but also be simply a child error `case networkError(NetworkError)`
- All of these conform to a `ErrorCodeConvertible`, so there is a single point of code that converts from simple and readable errors (like `BackendError.emptySubscriberAttributes`, `.unexpectedBackendResponse(.loginResponseDecoding)`) into errors with all the context using `ErrorUtils`
- Converted `DNSError` into `NetworkError.dnsError`. Its functionality remains unchanged.
- Removed `Backend.RCSuccessfullySyncedKey` and `ErrorDetails.finishableKey` in favor of tested properties on `NetworkError`
### Leftovers
There's a few things I've decided to not finish for now:
- [ ] `CustomerInfo` still does't conform to `Decodable` (manual deserialization is still supported by the current system): #1496
- `SubscriberAttributeDict` could also be `Codable`
- [x] Replace `OfferingsFactory` with `Decodable`: #1435
[CF-195]: https://revenuecats.atlassian.net/browse/CF-195?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWRkNTljNzYxNjVmNDY3MDlhMDU5Y2ZhYzA5YTRkZjUiLCJwIjoiZ2l0aHViLWNvbS1KU1cifQ
Follow up to #1429. The `decode` methods no longer mutate the underlying `JSONDecoder`, and instead the codebase uses a shared `defaultJSONDecoder` with the correct configuration.
Follow up to #1427.
The new way to create errors is like this:
```swift
ErrorResponse
.from(response)
.asBackendError(with: statusCode)
```
## Other changes:
- Removed `UserInfoAttributeParser`
- Simplified `JSONDecoder.decode` implementation by simply relying on `defaultJsonDecoder`
- Added support for "wrapped" error responses. This was previously handled by `UserInfoAttributeParser`.
- Removed all duplicated code parsing error responses
- The new `ErrorResponse` introduced in #1427 correctly decodes the format sent by the backend. Note that some tests had the wrong format, and `UserInfoAttributeParser` was parsing that wrong as well.
An upcoming PR will actually move these calls to `ErrorResponse` to `HTTPClient`.
For #695.
The biggest change is that this code at the beginning of `HTTPClient.handle` is now gone:
```swift
var statusCode: HTTPStatusCode = .networkConnectTimeoutError
var jsonObject: [String: Any]?
var httpResponse: HTTPResponse? = HTTPResponse(statusCode: statusCode, jsonObject: jsonObject)
var receivedJSONError: Error?
```
It was hard to trace which paths modified these default values. The new implementation has a mostly linear path (part of it abstracted in smaller methods now) and doesn’t have mutable values.
This is the new `handle` implementation:
```swift
func handle(urlResponse: URLResponse?,
request: Request,
urlRequest: URLRequest,
data: Data?,
error networkError: Error?) {
let (response, shouldRetry) = self.parse(
urlResponse: urlResponse,
request: request,
urlRequest: urlRequest,
data: data,
error: networkError
)
if shouldRetry {
Logger.debug(Strings.network.retrying_request(httpMethod: request.method.httpMethod,
path: request.path))
self.state.modify {
$0.queuedRequests.insert(request.retriedRequest(), at: 0)
}
} else {
request.completionHandler?(response)
}
self.beginNextRequest()
}
```
## All Changes:
- `HTTPClient.perform` no longer has a bunch of mutable variables with forking paths that make it hard to follow. Most of the response handling is now in a new `parse` method. This will simplify the task of continuing to refactor response deserialization.
- `HTTPClient`’s completion abstracts response into `HTTPResponse`
- `UserInfoAttributeParser` is now an `enum`
- `ETagManager` no longer takes an `Error`. The only thing it did with it is to return the default response.
- `HTTPResponse.jsonObject` is no longer `Optional`
- Moved `defaultJsonEncoder` / `defaultJsonDecoder` to `JSONDecoder+Extensions`. They used by `HTTPClient` and others soon.
