Session

open class Session : @unchecked Sendable

extension Session: RequestDelegate

Session creates and manages Alamofire’s Request types during their lifetimes. It also provides common functionality for all Requests, including queuing, interception, trust management, redirect handling, and response cache handling.

default
Shared singleton instance used by all AF.request APIs. Cannot be modified.
Declaration
Swift

public static let `default`: Session
session
Underlying URLSession used to create URLSessionTasks for this instance, and for which this instance’s delegate handles URLSessionDelegate callbacks.

Note
This instance should NOT be used to interact with the underlying URLSessionTasks. Doing so will break internal Alamofire logic that tracks those tasks.
Declaration
Swift

public let session: URLSession
delegate
Instance’s SessionDelegate, which handles the URLSessionDelegate methods and Request interaction.
Declaration
Swift

public let delegate: SessionDelegate
rootQueue
Root DispatchQueue for all internal callbacks and state update. MUST be a serial queue.
Declaration
Swift

public let rootQueue: DispatchQueue
startRequestsImmediately
Value determining whether this instance automatically calls resume() on all created Requests.
Declaration
Swift

public let startRequestsImmediately: Bool
requestQueue
DispatchQueue on which URLRequests are created asynchronously. By default this queue uses rootQueue as its target, but a separate queue can be used if request creation is determined to be a bottleneck. Always profile and test before introducing an additional queue.
Declaration
Swift

public let requestQueue: DispatchQueue
serializationQueue
DispatchQueue passed to all Requests on which they perform their response serialization. By default this queue uses rootQueue as its target but a separate queue can be used if response serialization is determined to be a bottleneck. Always profile and test before introducing an additional queue.
Declaration
Swift

public let serializationQueue: DispatchQueue
interceptor
RequestInterceptor used for all Request created by the instance. RequestInterceptors can also be set on a per-Request basis, in which case the Request‘s interceptor takes precedence over this value.
Declaration
Swift

public let interceptor: (any RequestInterceptor)?
serverTrustManager
ServerTrustManager instance used to evaluate all trust challenges and provide certificate and key pinning.
Declaration
Swift

public let serverTrustManager: ServerTrustManager?
redirectHandler
RedirectHandler instance used to provide customization for request redirection.
Declaration
Swift

public let redirectHandler: (any RedirectHandler)?
cachedResponseHandler
CachedResponseHandler instance used to provide customization of cached response handling.
Declaration
Swift

public let cachedResponseHandler: (any CachedResponseHandler)?
eventMonitor
CompositeEventMonitor used to compose any passed EventMonitors.
Declaration
Swift

public let eventMonitor: CompositeEventMonitor


                    
                    
                    defaultEventMonitors

EventMonitors included in all instances unless overwritten. [AlamofireNotifications()] by default.

Declaration

Swift

@available(*, deprecated, message: "Use [AlamofireNotifications(﹚] directly.")
public let defaultEventMonitors: [any EventMonitor]


                    
                    
                    init(session:delegate:rootQueue:startRequestsImmediately:requestQueue:serializationQueue:interceptor:serverTrustManager:redirectHandler:cachedResponseHandler:eventMonitors:)

Creates a Session from a URLSession and other parameters.

Note

When passing a URLSession, you must create the URLSession with a specific delegateQueue value and pass the delegateQueue‘s underlyingQueue as the rootQueue parameter of this initializer.

Declaration

Swift

public init(session: URLSession,
            delegate: SessionDelegate,
            rootQueue: DispatchQueue,
            startRequestsImmediately: Bool = true,
            requestQueue: DispatchQueue? = nil,
            serializationQueue: DispatchQueue? = nil,
            interceptor: (any RequestInterceptor)? = nil,

All Requests API


                    
                    
                    withAllRequests(perform:)

Perform an action on all active Requests.

Note

The provided action closure is performed asynchronously, meaning that some Requests may complete and be unavailable by time it runs. Additionally, this action is performed on the instances’s rootQueue, so care should be taken that actions are fast. Once the work on the Requests is complete, any additional work should be performed on another queue.

Declaration

Swift

public func withAllRequests(perform action: @escaping @Sendable (Set<Request>) -> Void)

Parameters


                                action

Closure to perform with all Requests.


                    
                    
                    cancelAllRequests(completingOnQueue:completion:)

Cancel all active Requests, optionally calling a completion handler when complete.

Note

This is an asynchronous operation and does not block the creation of future Requests. Cancelled Requests may not cancel immediately due internal work, and may not cancel at all if they are close to completion when cancelled.

Declaration

Swift

public func cancelAllRequests(completingOnQueue queue: DispatchQueue = .main, completion: (@Sendable () -> Void)? = nil)

Parameters

`queue`	`DispatchQueue` on which the completion handler is run. `.main` by default.
`completion`	Closure to be called when all `Request`s have been cancelled.

                    download(resumingWith:interceptor:to:)

Creates a DownloadRequest from the resumeData produced from a previously cancelled DownloadRequest, as well as a RequestInterceptor, and a Destination.

Note

If destination is not specified, the download will be moved to a temporary location determined by Alamofire. The file will not be deleted until the system purges the temporary files.

Note

On some versions of all Apple platforms (iOS 10 - 10.2, macOS 10.12 - 10.12.2, tvOS 10 - 10.1, watchOS 3 - 3.1.1), resumeData is broken on background URL session configurations. There’s an underlying bug in the resumeData generation logic where the data is written incorrectly and will always fail to resume the download. For more information about the bug and possible workarounds, please refer to the this Stack Overflow post.

MultipartFormData


                    
                    
                    upload(multipartFormData:to:usingThreshold:method:headers:interceptor:fileManager:requestModifier:)

Creates an UploadRequest for the multipart form data built using a closure and sent using the provided URLRequest components and RequestInterceptor.

It is important to understand the memory implications of uploading MultipartFormData. If the cumulative payload is small, encoding the data in-memory and directly uploading to a server is the by far the most efficient approach. However, if the payload is too large, encoding the data in-memory could cause your app to be terminated. Larger payloads must first be written to disk using input and output streams to keep the memory footprint low, then the data can be uploaded as a stream from the resulting file. Streaming from disk MUST be used for larger payloads such as video content.

The encodingMemoryThreshold parameter allows Alamofire to automatically determine whether to encode in-memory or stream from disk. If the content length of the MultipartFormData is below the encodingMemoryThreshold, encoding takes place in-memory. If the content length exceeds the threshold, the data is streamed to disk during the encoding process. Then the result is uploaded as data or as a stream depending on which encoding technique was used.

Declaration

Swift

open func upload(multipartFormData: @escaping (MultipartFormData) -> Void,
                 to url: any URLConvertible,
                 usingThreshold encodingMemoryThreshold: UInt64 = MultipartFormData.encodingMemoryThreshold,

                 headers: HTTPHeaders? = nil,
                 interceptor: (any RequestInterceptor)? = nil,
                 fileManager: FileManager = .default,
                 requestModifier: RequestModifier? = nil) -> UploadRequest

Parameters

`multipartFormData`	`MultipartFormData` building closure.
`url`	`URLConvertible` value to be used as the `URLRequest`‘s `URL`.
`encodingMemoryThreshold`	Byte threshold used to determine whether the form data is encoded into memory or onto disk before being uploaded. `MultipartFormData.encodingMemoryThreshold` by default.
`method`	`HTTPMethod` for the `URLRequest`. `.post` by default.
`headers`	`HTTPHeaders` value to be added to the `URLRequest`. `nil` by default.

Return Value

The created UploadRequest.
