Alamofire JSON Serialization of Objects and Collections

Alamofire is a great Swift library developed by the creator of AFNetworking @mattt. The purpose of this gist is to explain how to use the built-in power of Alamofire to serialize your JSON. In this example we will be serializing a simple blog API. First we will start with serializing a single JSON object and add complexity as we go along.

Warning: This was written before Swift 1.2

A Single JSON Serialization

This is the first JSON object that we will be serializing.

Enable camera module

Edit your /boot/config.txt file and make sure the following lines look like this:

start_x=1             # essential
gpu_mem=128           # at least, or maybe more if you wish
disable_camera_led=1  # optional, if you don't want the led to glow

Prow with Azure cloud storage

Recently I had to build a Prow cluster for one of the projects I was working on. Usually you want to configure Prow to store job artifacts in some cloud storage so that people could access those logs later on. In my case, Azure cloud was the only option to go with. Unfortunately, at the time of writing this post Prow doesn't support Azure as storage backed and only GCP or AWS S3.

However, thanks to MinIO, I could build my Prow cluster and still store the job artifacts in Azure storage as I would in GCP or AWS S3. So I wanted to share how I configured my Prow cluster to work with Azure storage.

Note: This is Prow setup in a local test environment. In other words, there is no TLS, cert-manager, ingress controller configuration involved as they would in real setup.
