Async Await
Async Await is a feature introduced in Swift 5.5 that allows developers to write asynchronous code in a synchronous style. This means that we can use the async and await keywords to write asynchronous code that looks like synchronous code.
Implementing a Generic Network Request using Async Await
To implement a generic network request using async await on Swift for iOS, we will follow these steps:
Create a Result type that can hold the response of the network request.
Swift
Create a fetch function that takes a URL and returns a Result type.
Swift
Call the fetch function and handle the Result type.
Swift
Using Combine
We can also implement a generic network request using Combine, which is a framework that provides a declarative Swift API for processing values over time. To implement a generic network request using Combine, we will follow these steps:
Create a fetch function that takes a URL and returns a AnyPublisher type.
Swift
Call the fetch function and handle the AnyPublisher type.
Swift
Using Completion Blocks
We can also implement a generic network request using completion blocks, which is a traditional way of handling asynchronous code in iOS. To implement a generic network request using completion blocks, we will follow these steps:
Create a fetch function that takes a URL and a completion block.
Swift
Call the fetch function and handle the Result type.
Swift
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we learned how to implement a generic network request using async await on Swift for iOS. We also discussed the differences between implementing this using Combine and completion blocks. Depending on the use case, you can choose the best approach that fits your needs.

The Mallard Duck, one of the most recognizable and widespread duck species, is a familiar sight in ponds, lakes, and rivers across North America and Eurasia. With its iridescent green head, distinctive white neck ring, and mottled brown plumage, the Mallard is a striking and charismatic waterfowl species.
Mallards are highly adaptable and can be found in a variety of aquatic habitats, including freshwater marshes, urban parks, and agricultural fields. They have a diverse diet, feeding on aquatic plants, insects, small fish, and grains, and are often seen dabbling at the water's surface or tipping upside down to reach submerged vegetation.
During the breeding season, male Mallards, known as drakes, display vibrant plumage and engage in elaborate courtship displays to attract females. Females, or hens, build nests hidden in vegetation near water, where they lay clutches of eggs. Mallard ducklings, with their yellow and brown downy feathers, follow their mother to water shortly after hatching and quickly learn to forage for food.
Mallards are also a favorite among waterfowl hunters and have been domesticated for centuries, leading to various color morphs and domestic breeds. Despite their widespread distribution and adaptability, Mallard populations face threats from habitat loss, pollution, and hunting pressure in some regions.
Taxonomically, the Mallard belongs to the Anas genus and is a member of the Anatidae family, which includes ducks, geese, and swans. With their striking appearance, widespread distribution, and fascinating behaviors, Mallards are celebrated as one of the most iconic and beloved duck species worldwide.

This is what (almost) all of the Tumblr @staff team looks like in a room. 192 people here at the meetup! In my introduction I ended up doing an impromptu presentation on typography and how that brought me to open source. I originally learned about this stuff through our Automattic colleague @apartness, in this article on A List Apart The Trouble With EM ’n EN (and Other Shady Characters.
