Moya: How to pass String data in request body?

[eyrdor]

Hi,
I am new to Moya. Any helped would be appreciated.

I am looking to pass string data in the request body.
Any idea or direction on how to do this?

Moya version - 11.0.0

What have I tried?:
I attempted converting the string to NSData using

.data(using .utf8)

however, the API server cannot seem to see the string data being sent.
I checked the request and the data exists in the httpbody.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @eyrdor
I assume you are trying to do a POST HTTP request, is that correct?
Did you try return Task.requestData(string.data(using: .utf8) on the task parameter?
Just a reminder that data(using) returns a optional (Data?)

Let us know if you need any help.

Hi @pietrocaselani
Yes, that is correct.
Yes, I did that, and unwrapped the data before before passing it to

Task.requestData(...)

Hey @eyrdor, can you please use NetworkLoggerPlugin and paste here request/response?

Since I have control of the server, i checked on that end and no data was coming through.

@eyrdor try removing "Content-Type": "application/json" from headers maybe?

[eyrdor]

@sunshinejr just tried that. That didn't work either.

I had a similar issue. I had to embed quotes into the data:
"\"\(myPayload)\"".data(using: .utf8)
