Скачать или смотреть D&D Monsters - A SwiftUI Mid Term Challenge Using URLSession API Calls, JSON Parsing, & AsyncImage

This is an actual exam question & solution, one of two apps that Prof. Gallaugher's SwiftUI students needed to build, in class, in 2.5 hrs., using only a single page of notes, but no other code examples, files, or AI beyond what's built into Xcode. This app has students use a Dungeons & Dragons API to download information on over 300 monsters by making a URLSession API call, then parsing the JSON into custom structs. Data is displayed in a scrollable list. Clicking a monster navigates to a detail view that shows additional data retrieved from yet another API call. The app also assembles a URL and uses this to get an image associated with the monster. If no image is available, a placeholder image is used. ProgressViews swirl whenever data is being downloaded.
This video shows each question, one by one, followed by a solution. You can pause after each question & try to complete the exam on your own, or watch it all at once as a tutorial, however know all students have gone through the playlist at: https://bit.ly/prof-g-swiftui to get to the point where they can complete this exam. This was part of the 2nd mid-term, taken about 2/3 of the way through the course.
