Motivation

Depends on runtime changes from apple/swift-openapi-runtime#45.

Up until now, we relied on a series of marker and helper protocols _StringConvertible and _AutoLosslessStringConvertible to handle converting between various types and their string representation.

This has been very manual and required a non-trivial amount of work to support any extra type, especially Date and generated string enums.

Well, turns out this was an unnecessarily difficult way to approach the problem - we had a better solution available for a long time - Codable.

Since all the generated types and all the built-in types we reference are already Codable, there is no need to reinvent a way to serialize and deserialize types, and we should just embrace it.

While a JSON encoder and decoder already exists in Foundation, we didn't have one handy for encoding to and from URIs (used by headers, query and path parameters), and raw string representation (using LosslessStringConvertible). We created those in the runtime library in PRs apple/swift-openapi-runtime#44 and apple/swift-openapi-runtime#41, and integrated them into our helper functions (which got significantly simplified this way) in apple/swift-openapi-runtime#45.

Out of scope of this PR, but this also opens the door to supporting URL form encoded bodies (#182), multipart (#36), and base64 (#11).

While this should be mostly invisible to our adopters, this refactoring creates space for implementing more complex features and overall simplifies our serialization story.

Modifications

  • Updated the generator to use the new helper functions.
  • Updated the article about serialization, shows how we reduced the number of helper functions by moving to Codable.
  • Set the lineLength to 120 on the formatter configuration, it was inconsistent with our .swift-format file, and lead to the soundness script trying to update the reference files, but then the reference tests were failing. Since we're planning to sync these in Use the same .swift-format in the repo and in the generated code #40, this is a step closer to it, but it means that it's probably best to review this PR's diff with whitespace ignored.

Result

Now the generated code uses the new helper functions, allowing us to delete all the deprecated helpers in 0.2.0.

Test Plan

Updated file-based reference, snippet, and unit tests.

[Runtime] Integrate the new URI and String coders

### Motivation

See details in the generator PR on motivation (apple/swift-openapi-generator#226).

### Modifications

- Deprecated `_AutoLosslessStringConvertible` and `_StringConvertible` 🎉
- Deprecated all `*Text` helper functions on `Converter`, it was a convoluted mix of `URI` and `String`, so they all need to go away.
- Added `*URI` and `*String` helper functions for the appropriate parameters/bodies. Those use the new URI/String coders under the hood.
- Note: we now manipulate the `Request.query` property more directly, instead of going through `URLQueryItem`.

### Result

Now we fully rely on `Codable` and a combination of system and custom encoder/decoders, which allows us to much more easily support Foundation types (such as Date), generated types (such as string enums), and primitive types - all the same way. While this might not be fully evident in this PR, this refactoring actually makes it possible for us to support much more of the OpenAPI specification.

### Test Plan

Deprecated tests of the `*Text` helpers, introduced new tests for the new helpers.
