Hi! I believe there might be a small bug in the SwiftData Quakes Sample App.^1 The Quakes app requests a JSON feed from USGS.https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/geojson.php What seems to be breaking is that apparently earthquake entities from USGS can return with null
magnitudes. That is throwing errors from the decoder:
struct GeoFeatureCollection: Decodable {
let features: [Feature]
struct Feature: Decodable {
let properties: Properties
let geometry: Geometry
struct Properties: Decodable {
let mag: Double
let place: String
let time: Date
let code: String
}
struct Geometry: Decodable {
let coordinates: [Double]
}
}
}
which is expecting mag
to not be nil
.
Here is my workaround:
struct GeoFeatureCollection: Decodable {
let features: [Feature]
struct Feature: Decodable {
let properties: Properties
let geometry: Geometry
struct Properties: Decodable {
let mag: Double?
let place: String
let time: Date
let code: String
}
struct Geometry: Decodable {
let coordinates: [Double]
}
}
}
And then:
extension Quake {
/// Creates a new quake instance from a decoded feature.
convenience init(from feature: GeoFeatureCollection.Feature) {
self.init(
code: feature.properties.code,
magnitude: feature.properties.mag ?? 0.0,
time: feature.properties.time,
name: feature.properties.place,
longitude: feature.geometry.coordinates[0],
latitude: feature.geometry.coordinates[1]
)
}
}
