To check and uncheck an item is simple. For this, we would need to make a PATCH
or PUT
HTTP request. If we were just sending a single attribute to update, we would make a PATCH request. If we are passing all of the attributes then we would make a PUT
request. The difference is that in the PUT
request, any attributes that are not passed are saved as NULL
in the database. In PATCH
requests, only the attributes that are passed are updated, and the ones that are not passed remain unchanged. In our case, since we already have a computed property called data
, which contains all of the attributes of an item object in JSON format, we can make either a PUT
or PATCH
request. To make checking and unchecking work, we would need to first invert the value of isChecked
and then make a PUT
request to the server by passing the JSON representation of the item object in the body of the request. Then we would need to parse the response and convert the JSON back to an item and...

Overview of this book
Making Swift an open-source language enabled it to share code between a native app and a server. Building a scalable and secure server backend opens up new possibilities, such as building an entire application written in one language—Swift.
This book gives you a detailed walk-through of tasks such as developing a native shopping list app with Swift and creating a full-stack backend using Vapor (which serves as an API server for the mobile app). You'll also discover how to build a web server to support dynamic web pages in browsers, thereby creating a rich application experience.
You’ll begin by planning and then building a native iOS app using Swift. Then, you'll get to grips with building web pages and creating web views of your native app using Vapor. To put things into perspective, you'll learn how to build an entire full-stack web application and an API server for your native mobile app, followed by learning how to deploy the app to the cloud, and add registration and authentication to it.
Once you get acquainted with creating applications, you'll build a tvOS version of the shopping list app and explore how easy is it to create an app for a different platform with maximum code shareability. Towards the end, you’ll also learn how to create an entire app for different platforms in Swift, thus enhancing your productivity.
