Trying to to convert my old URL functionality to SwiftUI with async/await. While the skeleton below works, am puzzled as to why I must place my call to the method within a Task? When I don't use Task I get the error:
Cannot pass function of type '() async -> Void' to parameter expecting synchronous function type
From the examples I've seen, this wasn't necessary.
So I either I've misunderstood something, or I am doing this incorrectly, and am looking for little but of guidance.
Thank you
Within my SwiftUI view:
Button {
Task {
let request = xFile.makePostRequest(xUser: xUser, script: "requestTicket.pl")
var result = await myNewURL.asyncCall(request: request)
print("\(result)")
}
}
From a separate class:
class MyNewURL: NSObject, ObservableObject {
func asyncCall(request: URLRequest) async -> Int {
do {
let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.data(for: request)
guard let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse
else {
print("error")
return -1
}
if httpResponse.statusCode == 200 {
...
}
} catch {
return -2
}
return 0
}
}
