How to use NetworkReachabilityManager in Alamofire

Question

I want functionality similar to AFNetworking in Objective-C with Alamofire NetworkReachabilityManager in Swift:

//Reachability detection
[[AFNet         


        

Answer 1

Swift 5: No need for listener object . Just we need to call the closure :

struct Network {

    let manager = Alamofire.NetworkReachabilityManager()

    func state() {
        manager?.startListening { status in
            switch status {
            case .notReachable :
                print("not reachable")
            case .reachable(.cellular) :
                print("cellular")
            case .reachable(.ethernetOrWiFi) :
                print("ethernetOrWiFi")
            default :
                print("unknown")
            } 
        }
    }
}

You can start using this function like :

Network().state()

Answer 2

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()

Alamofire 5 and above

import Alamofire

// MARK: NetworkReachability

final class NetworkReachability {
    
    static let shared = NetworkReachability()

    private let reachability = NetworkReachabilityManager(host: "www.apple.com")!

    typealias NetworkReachabilityStatus = NetworkReachabilityManager.NetworkReachabilityStatus

    private init() {}
    
    /// Start observing reachability changes
    func startListening() {
        reachability.startListening { [weak self] status in
            switch status {
            case .notReachable:
                self?.updateReachabilityStatus(.notReachable)
            case .reachable(let connection):
                self?.updateReachabilityStatus(.reachable(connection))
            case .unknown:
                break
            }
        }
    }
    
    /// Stop observing reachability changes
    func stopListening() {
        reachability.stopListening()
    }
    
    
    /// Updated ReachabilityStatus status based on connectivity status
    ///
    /// - Parameter status: `NetworkReachabilityStatus` enum containing reachability status
    private func updateReachabilityStatus(_ status: NetworkReachabilityStatus) {
        switch status {
        case .notReachable:
            print("Internet not available")
        case .reachable(.ethernetOrWiFi), .reachable(.cellular):
            print("Internet available")
        case .unknown:
            break
        }
    }

    /// returns current reachability status
    var isReachable: Bool {
        return reachability.isReachable
    }

    /// returns if connected via cellular
    var isConnectedViaCellular: Bool {
        return reachability.isReachableOnCellular
    }

    /// returns if connected via cellular
    var isConnectedViaWiFi: Bool {
        return reachability.isReachableOnEthernetOrWiFi
    }

    deinit {
        stopListening()
    }
}

How to use:

Call NetworkReachability.shared. startListening() from AppDelegate to start listening for reachability changes

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
            
    var window: UIWindow?
           
            
    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
             
        NetworkReachability.shared.startListening()
        
        // window and rootviewcontroller setup code
        
        return true
    }
        
}

Apple says to use a struct instead of a class when you can. So here's my version of @rmooney and @Ammad 's answers, but using a struct instead of a class. Additionally, instead of using a method or function, I am using a computed property and I got that idea from this Medium post by @Abhimuralidharan. I'm just putting both the idea of using a struct instead of a class (so you don't have to have a singleton) and using a computed property instead of a method call together in one solution.

Here's the struct NetworkState:

import Foundation
import Alamofire

struct NetworkState {

    var isConnected: Bool {
        // isReachable checks for wwan, ethernet, and wifi, if
        // you only want 1 or 2 of these, the change the .isReachable
        // at the end to one of the other options.
        return NetworkReachabilityManager(host: www.apple.com)!.isReachable
    }
}

Here is how you use it in any of your code:

if NetworkState().isConnected {
    // do your is Connected stuff here
}

Solution for swift 4* + swift 5* and Alamofire 4.5+

CREATE a NetworkReachabilityManager class from Alamofire and configure the checkNetwork() method

import Alamofire

class Connectivity {   
    class func checkNetwork() ->Bool {
        return NetworkReachabilityManager()!.isReachable
    }
}

USAGE

switch Connectivity.checkNetwork() {
  case true:
      print("network available")
      //perform task
  case false:
      print("no network")
}

To create NetworkManager Class as follows (For SWIFT 5)

import UIKit
import Alamofire
class NetworkManager {
    static let shared = NetworkManager()
    let reachabilityManager = Alamofire.NetworkReachabilityManager(host: "www.apple.com")
    func startNetworkReachabilityObserver() {
        reachabilityManager?.startListening(onUpdatePerforming: { 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(.cellular):
                                print("The network is reachable over the cellular connection")
                      }
        })
    }
}

And the usage will be like

@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
    }
}
