Get Reactions from Timeline Post via Facebook Graph API – Swift – iOS

February 7, 2021April 13, 2016 by Ashish Kakkad

New version of SDK is 4.16.x(Swift) and Graph API Version is 2.8.
With the Graph API 2.6 Facebook has given support to fetch (read only) the Reactions on Timeline Posts.

Post is updated for iOS 10 and Swift 3

API documentation is available here.

Let’s learn how to get reactions from the post

Install pods

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '9.0'
target 'FBSwiftLogin' do
  # Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!
  # Pods for FBSwiftLogin
    pod 'FacebookCore'
    pod 'FacebookLogin'
end

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project

platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'FBSwiftLogin' do

# Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks

use_frameworks!

# Pods for FBSwiftLogin

pod 'FacebookCore'

pod 'FacebookLogin'

end

Login with Facebook

I have already written a tutorial on Facebook Login.

Get Facebook Posts via Graph API

We can get the Facebook post via graph API : /me/posts for that we have to add user_posts permission with login.

func getFacebookUserPosts() {
    FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: "/me/posts", parameters: nil, httpMethod: "GET").start(completionHandler: { (connection, result, error) in
        if (error == nil){
            print(result)
        }
    })
}

func getFacebookUserPosts() {

FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: "/me/posts", parameters: nil, httpMethod: "GET").start(completionHandler: { (connection, result, error) in

if (error == nil){

print(result)

}

})

}

Get Reactions from one of the Post

We can get the Facebook post reactions via graph API : /{post-id}/reactions. We have to pass parameters like fields and summary as described in getReactions function.
Note : Here I am writing sample for only first post.

func getFacebookUserPosts() {
    var strGraphPath : String = ""
    FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: "/me/posts", parameters: nil, httpMethod: "GET").start(completionHandler: { (connection, result, error) in
        if (error == nil){
            print(result)
            let data = (result as! [String : Any])["data"] as! [[String : Any]]
            if(data.count > 0) {
                let strId = data[0]["id"] as! String
                strGraphPath = "/"+strId+"/reactions"
                self.getReactions(strGraphPath)
            }
        }
    })
}
func getReactions(_ strGraphPath:String) {
    FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: strGraphPath, parameters: ["fields":"id, name, type", "summary":"total_count, viewer_reaction"], httpMethod: "GET").start(completionHandler: { (connection, result, error) in
        if (error == nil){
            print(result)
        }
    })
}

func getFacebookUserPosts() {

var strGraphPath : String = ""

FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: "/me/posts", parameters: nil, httpMethod: "GET").start(completionHandler: { (connection, result, error) in

if (error == nil){

print(result)

let data = (result as! [String : Any])["data"] as! [[String : Any]]

if(data.count > 0) {

let strId = data[0]["id"] as! String

strGraphPath = "/"+strId+"/reactions"

self.getReactions(strGraphPath)

}

})

}

func getReactions(_ strGraphPath:String) {

FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: strGraphPath, parameters: ["fields":"id, name, type", "summary":"total_count, viewer_reaction"], httpMethod: "GET").start(completionHandler: { (connection, result, error) in

if (error == nil){

print(result)

}

})

}

Response should be like

Type of reactions : NONE, LIKE, LOVE, WOW, HAHA, SAD, ANGRY

{
    data =     (
        {
            id = ACCOUNT_ID;
            name = "NAME";
            type = HAHA;
        },
        {
            id = ACCOUNT_ID;
            name = "NAME";
            type = LIKE;
        }
    );
    paging =     {
        cursors =         {
            after = REFERENCE_ID;
            before = REFERENCE_ID;
        };
        next = "NEXT_REFERENCE_LINK";
    };
    summary =     {
        "total_count" = 56;
        "viewer_reaction" = NONE;
    };
}

{

data = (

{

id = ACCOUNT_ID;

name = "NAME";

type = HAHA;

{

id = ACCOUNT_ID;

name = "NAME";

type = LIKE;

}

);

paging = {

cursors = {

after = REFERENCE_ID;

before = REFERENCE_ID;

};

next = "NEXT_REFERENCE_LINK";

};

summary = {

"total_count" = 56;

"viewer_reaction" = NONE;

};

}

Happy coding 🙂

Use of Operator Overloading with Swift

February 7, 2021April 5, 2016 by Ashish Kakkad

I was just going through the Swift document and I found that Swift allow to overload the operator just like as C++ Language. Objective-C doesn’t allow to overload the operator.
As swift document we can also say “Operator Functions”.

Let’s Overload ^ (XOR Operator) to make Power of the value

Function Prototype :
Declare function prototype with left hand side value and right and side value.

func ^(lhs: Int, rhs: Int) -> Int {
}

1 2	func ^(lhs: Int, rhs: Int) -> Int { }

Operations in the function :
To make the power of the value we have to apply following operations

func ^(lhs: Int, rhs: Int) -> Int {
    if(rhs == 0) {
        return 1
    }
    else {
        var result = lhs
        for _ in 1 ..< rhs  {
            result *= lhs
        }
        return result
    }
}

func ^(lhs: Int, rhs: Int) -> Int {

if(rhs == 0) {

return 1

}

else {

var result = lhs

for _ in 1 ..< rhs {

result *= lhs

}

return result

}

Let’s try to use with the operator :

let a = 2^2 //4
let b = 2^4 //16
let c = 3^3 //27

let a = 2^2 //4

let b = 2^4 //16

let c = 3^3 //27

Use of string literal for Objective-C selectors is deprecated; use ‘#selector’ instead

‘++’ is deprecated: it will be removed in Swift 3

C-style for statement is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Swift

FILE is deprecated and will be removed in Swift 3, please use #file

How to create a wrapper for Alamofire and SwiftyJSON? Swift – iOS

February 7, 2021March 9, 2016 by Ashish Kakkad

This blogpost updated with Swift 3 – Xcode 8 – iOS 10 – Alamofire 4.0

I have posted a basic tutorial about Alamofire and SwiftyJSON How to use Alamofire and SwiftyJSON with Swift?
And some day before we have learned about Use of Blocks(Closures) or Completion Handlers with Function in Swift – iOS
Let’s combine both the topics to make a WRAPPER of Alamofire and SwiftyJSON.

Use of Blocks(Closures) or Completion Handlers with Function in Swift – iOS

February 7, 2021February 28, 2016 by Ashish Kakkad

Blocks in Objective-C

In Objective-C we are using the blocks(completion handlers) with functions as follows :

[code language=”obj-c”]
– (void)yourFunctionName:(NSString *)yourString withCompletionHandler:(void (^)(NSString *yourResult))block;
[/code]

Closures in Swift

Closures are self-contained blocks of functionality that can be passed around and used in your code. Closures in Swift are similar to blocks in C and Objective-C and to lambdas in other programming languages.

Syntax with Function

[code language=”obj-c”]
func yourFunctionName(parameter:Type, … , withCompletionHandler:(result:Type) -> Void)
[/code]
For more closure syntax : goshdarnclosuresyntax.com

Example

Function Definition:
[code language=”obj-c”]
func closureReturn(isTest:Bool, withCompletionHandler:(result:String) -> Void) {
if(isTest){
withCompletionHandler(result: "Yes")
}
else{
withCompletionHandler(result: "No")
}
}
[/code]
Calling Function:
[code language=”obj-c”]
closureReturn(true) { (result) -> Void in
print(result)
}
[/code]
Output should be respective to value true/false.

In next post I will write a tutorial on a wrapper class for Alamofire with use of SwiftyJSON by using closures.

Happy Coding 🙂

Work with Core Data in Swift Language

February 7, 2021January 6, 2016 by Ashish Kakkad

Lets take a brief idea about how to use core data with swift language.

Create a new project by check on Use Core Data.

It will create the basic methods of core data in to the AppDelegate.swift

There is core data model called {YOUR-PROJECT.xcdatamodeld} will be there with the project.

It will be look like as follows :
