Swift snippets for LogSnag

Send notifications using Swift and NSURLSession

import Foundation

let headers = ["Authorization": "Bearer <API_TOKEN>"]
let parameters = [
  "project": "my-saas",
  "channel": "waitlist",
  "event": "Waitlist Member",
  "description": "email: [email protected]",
  "icon": "🔥",
  "notify": true
] as [String : Any]

let postData = JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options: [])

let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: NSURL(string: "https://api.logsnag.com/v1/log")! as URL,
                                        cachePolicy: .useProtocolCachePolicy,
                                    timeoutInterval: 10.0)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.allHTTPHeaderFields = headers
request.httpBody = postData as Data

let session = URLSession.shared
let dataTask = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in
  if (error != nil) {
    print(error)
  } else {
    let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse
    print(httpResponse)
  }
})

dataTask.resume()

Conclusion

Once an event is published, you get instant updates in real-time, and you could optionally turn on or off push notifications depending on the priority of your event.
