A sample app that uses async await to fetch data before automatically decoding based off the target object type.

1. create a method that makes the network request, returning the response as a string

let url = "https://swapi.dev/api/people/1" let result:(String?, Error?) = await Networking().request(url:url)

2. Run this code and look in the debug console. You will see a DecodingError and a nicely formatted JSON response.

3. Either create a struct model for the JSON by hand or copy the JSON and use https://app.quicktype.io to generate a struct model.

4. Change your code to specify your struct as the response object type like this

let url = "https://swapi.dev/api/people/1" let result:(Person?, Error?) = await Networking().request(url:url)

5. the decoded object or error will be passed back

For example:

func fetchContent() async -> Person? {
    let url = "https://swapi.dev/api/people/1"
    let result:(Person?, Error?) = await Networking().request(url: url)
    handleError(result.1)
    return result.0
}

Written using Xcode 14.2, targeting iOS 16. This should also work with iOS 15.
