Answer 1

class func postMethod (params: [String : AnyObject], apikey: String, completion: @escaping (Any) -> Void, failure:@escaping (Error) -> Void)
{
    if Utils().isConnectedToNetwork() == false
    {
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.1, execute: {
            Utils().HideLoader()
        })
        return
    }

    let strURL = Constants.BASE_URL + apikey
    let url = URL(string: strURL)
    print(params)
    print(strURL)

    var token = String()

    if((Constants.USERDEFAULTS .value(forKey: "token")) != nil){

        token = Constants.USERDEFAULTS.value(forKey: "token") as! String
    }
    else{
         token = ""
    }

    let headers = [
        "Authorization": "Bearer \(token)",
        "Accept": "application/json"
    ]


    let manager = Alamofire.SessionManager.default
    manager.session.configuration.timeoutIntervalForRequest = 120
    manager.request(url!, method: .post, parameters: params, headers: headers)
        .responseJSON
        {
            response in
            switch (response.result)
            {
            case .success:
                let jsonResponse = response.result.value as! NSDictionary
                print(jsonResponse)
                completion(jsonResponse)
                Utils().HideLoader()
            case .failure(let error):
                Utils().showAlert("Something went wrong")
                Utils().HideLoader()
                failure(error)
                break
        }
    }
}

 var post:NSString = "api=myposts&userid=\(uid)&page_no=0&limit_no=10"

    NSLog("PostData: %@",post);

    var url1:NSURL = NSURL(string: url)!

    var postData:NSData = post.dataUsingEncoding(NSASCIIStringEncoding)!

    var postLength:NSString = String( postData.length )

    var request:NSMutableURLRequest = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url1)
    request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
    request.HTTPBody = postData
    request.setValue(postLength, forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Length")
    request.setValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
    request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")


    var reponseError: NSError?
    var response: NSURLResponse?

    var urlData: NSData? = NSURLConnection.sendSynchronousRequest(request, returningResponse:&response, error:&reponseError)

    if ( urlData != nil ) {
        let res = response as NSHTTPURLResponse!;

        NSLog("Response code: %ld", res.statusCode);

        if (res.statusCode >= 200 && res.statusCode < 300)
        {
            var responseData:NSString  = NSString(data:urlData!, encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding)!

            NSLog("Response ==> %@", responseData);

            var error: NSError?

            let jsonData:NSDictionary = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(urlData!, options:NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers , error: &error) as NSDictionary


            let success:NSInteger = jsonData.valueForKey("error") as NSInteger

            //[jsonData[@"success"] integerValue];

            NSLog("Success: %ld", success);

            if(success == 0)
            {
                NSLog("Login SUCCESS");

                self.dataArr = jsonData.valueForKey("data") as NSMutableArray 
                self.table.reloadData()

            } else {

                NSLog("Login failed1");
            }

        } else {

            NSLog("Login failed2");

        }
    } else {

         NSLog("Login failed3");
    }

This will help you definitely

Answer 3

Update to Swift 4.2

This code is based on pixel's answer, and is meant as an update for Swift 4.2

let bodyData = "key1=value&key2=value&key3=value"
request.httpBody = bodyData.data(using: .utf8)

Answer 4

No different than in Objective-C, HTTPBody expects an NSData object:

var bodyData = "key1=value&key2=value&key3=value"
request.HTTPBody = bodyData.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding);

You'll have to setup the values & keys yourself in the string.
