This is one of the best videos I have watched on this topic. I have coupled the HTTP part and the decoding part so many times. As you point out, it quickly becomes a mess with a bunch of different if statements to handle different APIs and things like an empty 204 or a 307 redirect which either do not return JSON or a different JSON than a 200 response.

Outstanding video. Needed that in my project. Great. Thanks a lot! :D

could you please assessed my project and close some " grey spots " I am trying to reach a junior position ( Swift UI ) dev!

We use both async await and Combine.
If developer wants publisher, he can wrap the response in a publisher and send it forward.

In terms of the API Mappers, what would we do if our custom mapper still included functionality from the generic one? Would we duplicate the code over to the specialised mapper or is there a way to combine both mappers?

If you were to create a new app (mainly uikit very little swiftui) would you avoid Alomofire? Why?

[pavlobudzynskyi]

1 thing I'm not seeing in this video is how do we implement retry logic after the token is refreshed and avoid multiple refresh requests at the same time
