How to use NetworkReachabilityManager in Alamofire
Here's my implementation. I use it in a singleton. Remember to hold on to the reachability manager reference.
let reachabilityManager = Alamofire.NetworkReachabilityManager(host: "www.apple.com")
func listenForReachability() {
self.reachabilityManager?.listener = { status in
print("Network Status Changed: \(status)")
switch status {
case .NotReachable:
//Show error state
case .Reachable(_), .Unknown:
//Hide error state
}
}
self.reachabilityManager?.startListening()
}
NetworkManager Class
class NetworkManager {
//shared instance
static let shared = NetworkManager()
let reachabilityManager = Alamofire.NetworkReachabilityManager(host: "www.google.com")
func startNetworkReachabilityObserver() {
reachabilityManager?.listener = { status in
switch status {
case .notReachable:
print("The network is not reachable")
case .unknown :
print("It is unknown whether the network is reachable")
case .reachable(.ethernetOrWiFi):
print("The network is reachable over the WiFi connection")
case .reachable(.wwan):
print("The network is reachable over the WWAN connection")
}
}
// start listening
reachabilityManager?.startListening()
}
}
Start Network Reachability Observer
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// add network reachability observer on app start
NetworkManager.shared.startNetworkReachabilityObserver()
return true
}
}
I found the answer myself i.e by just writing a listener with closure as mentioned below:
let net = NetworkReachabilityManager()
net?.listener = { status in
if net?.isReachable ?? false {
switch status {
case .reachable(.ethernetOrWiFi):
print("The network is reachable over the WiFi connection")
case .reachable(.wwan):
print("The network is reachable over the WWAN connection")
case .notReachable:
print("The network is not reachable")
case .unknown :
print("It is unknown whether the network is reachable")
}
}
net?.startListening()
