As you know Codable is new stuff in swift 4, So we gonna move to this one from the older initialisation process for the Models. Usually we use the following Scenario

class LoginModal

{    

    let cashierType: NSNumber

    let status: NSNumber



    init(_ json: JSON)

    {

        let keys = Constants.LoginModal()



        cashierType = json[keys.cashierType].number ?? 0

        status = json[keys.status].number ?? 0

    }

}

In the JSON cashierType Key may missing, so we giving the default Value as 0

Now while doing this with Codable is quite easy, as following

class LoginModal: Coadable

{    

    let cashierType: NSNumber

    let status: NSNumber

}

as mentioned above keys may missing, but we don't want the Model Variables as optional, So How we can achieve this with Codable.

Thanks

Use init(from decoder: Decoder) to set the default values in your model.

struct LoginModal: Codable {



    let cashierType: Int

    let status: Int



    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {

        case cashierType = "cashierType"

        case status = "status"

    }



    init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {

        let container = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)

        self.cashierType = try container.decodeIfPresent(Int.self, forKey: .cashierType) ?? 0

        self.status = try container.decodeIfPresent(Int.self, forKey: .status) ?? 0

    }

}

Data Reading:

do {

        let data = //JSON Data from API

        let jsonData = try JSONDecoder().decode(LoginModal.self, from: data)

        print("(jsonData.status) (jsonData.cashierType)")

    } catch let error {

        print(error.localizedDescription)

    }
