I have authorization controller with 2 UITextField properties and 1 UIButton. I want to bind my View to ViewModel but don't know how to to do it. This is my AuthorizatioVC.swift:
class AuthorizationViewController: UIViewController {
let disposeBag = DisposeBag()
@IBOutlet weak var passwordTxtField: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var loginTxtField: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var button: UIButton!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
addBindsToViewModel()
}
func addBindsToViewModel(){
let authModel = AuthorizationViewModel(authClient: AuthClient())
authModel.login.asObservable().bindTo(passwordTxtField.rx_text).addDisposableTo(self.disposeBag)
authModel.password.asObservable().bindTo(loginTxtField.rx_text).addDisposableTo(self.disposeBag)
//HOW TO BIND button.rx_tap here?
}
}
And this is my AuthorizationViewModel.swift:
final class AuthorizationViewModel{
private let disposeBag = DisposeBag()
//input
//HOW TO DEFINE THE PROPERTY WHICH WILL BE BINDED TO RX_TAP FROM THE BUTTON IN VIEW???
let authEvent = ???
let login = Variable<String>("")
let password = Variable<String>("")
//output
private let authModel: Observable<Auth>
init(authClient: AuthClient){
let authModel = authEvent.asObservable()
.flatMap({ (v) -> Observable<Auth> in
return authClient.authObservable(String(self.login.value), mergedHash: String(self.password.value))
.map({ (authResponse) -> Auth in
return self.convertAuthResponseToAuthModel(authResponse)
})
})
}
func convertAuthResponseToAuthModel(authResponse: AuthResponse) -> Auth{
var authModel = Auth()
authModel.token = authResponse.token
return authModel
}
}
The problem here is that you are trying to make your "viewModel" a class. It should be a function.
func viewModel(username: Observable<String>, password: Observable<String>, button: Observable<Void>) -> Observable<Auth> {
return button
.withLatestFrom(Observable.combineLatest(login, password) { (login, password) })
.flatMap { login, password in
server.getAuthToken(withLogin: login, password: password)
}
.map { Auth(token: $0.token) }
Use set it up by doing this in your viewDidLoad:
let auth = viewModel(loginTxtField.rx_text, passwordTxtField.rx_text, button.rx_tap)
If you have multiple outputs for your view model, then it might be worth it to make a class (rather than returning a tuple from a function.) If you want to do that, then GithubSignupViewModel1
from the examples in the RxSwift repo is an excellent example of how to set it up.
First approach use PublishSubject
class ViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var loginBtn: UIButton!
var vm: ViewModel?
let disposebag = DisposeBag()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
bindUi()
}
func bindUi() {
(loginBtn.rx.tap).bind(to: vm!.loginSbj).addDisposableTo(disposebag)
}
}
class ViewModel {
let loginSbj = PublishSubject<Void>()
init() {
loginSbj.do(onNext: { _ in
// do something
})
}
}
The second approach use Action
class ViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var loginBtn: UIButton!
var vm: ViewModel?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
bindUi()
}
func bindUi() {
loginBtn.rx.action = vm!.loginAction
}
}
class ViewModel {
let loginAction: CococaAction<Void, Void> = CocoaAction {
// do something
}
}
You can turn the taps on the UIButton into an Observable and hand it to the ViewModel along with the two Observables from the UITextFields.
This is a small working example for your scenario. (I used a small auth client mock class to simulate the response from the service):
The ViewController:
import UIKit
import RxSwift
import RxCocoa
class ViewController: UIViewController {
let loginTxtField = UITextField(frame: CGRect(x: 20, y: 50, width: 200, height: 40))
let passwordTxtField = UITextField(frame: CGRect(x: 20, y: 110, width: 200, height: 40))
let loginButton = UIButton(type: .RoundedRect)
let disposeBag = DisposeBag()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 0.9, green: 0.9, blue: 0.9, alpha: 1)
loginTxtField.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
view.addSubview(loginTxtField)
passwordTxtField.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
view.addSubview(passwordTxtField)
loginButton.setTitle("Login", forState: .Normal)
loginButton.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
loginButton.frame = CGRect(x: 20, y: 200, width: 200, height: 40)
view.addSubview(loginButton)
// 1
let viewModel = ViewModel(
withLogin: loginTxtField.rx_text.asObservable(),
password: passwordTxtField.rx_text.asObservable(),
didPressButton: loginButton.rx_tap.asObservable()
)
// 2
viewModel.authResponse
.subscribeNext { response in
print(response)
}
.addDisposableTo(disposeBag)
}
}
These are the two interesting parts:
// 1: We inject the three Observables into the ViewModel when we initialize it.
// 2: Then we subscribe to the ViewModel's output to receive the Auth
model after the login was done.
The ViewModel:
import RxSwift
struct Auth {
let token: String
}
struct AuthResponse {
let token: String
}
class ViewModel {
// Output
let authResponse: Observable<Auth>
init(withLogin login: Observable<String>, password: Observable<String>, didPressButton: Observable<Void>) {
let mockAuthService = MockAuthService()
// 1
let userInputs = Observable.combineLatest(login, password) { (login, password) -> (String, String) in
return (login, password)
}
// 2
authResponse = didPressButton
.withLatestFrom(userInputs)
.flatMap { (login, password) in
return mockAuthService.getAuthToken(withLogin: login, mergedHash: password)
}
.map { authResponse in
return Auth(token: authResponse.token)
}
}
}
class MockAuthService {
func getAuthToken(withLogin login: String, mergedHash: String) -> Observable<AuthResponse> {
let dummyAuthResponse = AuthResponse(token: "dummyToken->login:\(login), password:\(mergedHash)")
return Observable.just(dummyAuthResponse)
}
}
The ViewModel gets the 3 Observables in its init method and connects them to its output:
// 1: Combine the latest value of the login text field and the latest value of the password text field into one Observable.
// 2: When the user presses the button, use the latest value of the login text field and the latest value of the password text field and pass that to the auth service using flatMap
. When the auth client returns a AuthResponse
, map that to the Auth
model. Set the result of this "chain" as the authResponse
output of the ViewModel
