MovieRanker

Playing with SwiftUI, Combine, Firebase and OMDb API

Objective is to create something using SwiftUI and Combine driving that UI by pulling data from the OMDb API (movie information). A user can then thumbs up/down a movie and their rating is stored in a Firebase backend. Simple but hits a lot of systems I want to play with.

OMDb API:

EG: http://www.omdbapi.com/?t=Friday

Going to play with Codable for the first time today in order to parse the results of the Movie data. I handle hundreds of different URL calls at work, but never had a chance to really make use of Codable. Instead, creating wrappers around a Dictionary. Let's have Swift do the work for us!

Also, not a huge fan of omdb capitalizing the properties in the response data, so making use of CodingKeys to translate to a cleaner naming scheme.

Found a great resourse: https://app.quicktype.io that helps you create the struct and helper function by just pasting example JSON into the service.

Going to play with SwiftUI some today and try to get a "detail" screen complete for a Movie object. The Movie struct will be built from the API call and that was complete a few days ago.

Got a decent (not great) layout of all the text information. Turns out loading an image from a URL is more involved than expected. Will tackle that after a break.
