NetShears

NetShears is a Network interceptor framework written in Swift.

NetShears adds a Request interceptor mechanisms to be able to modify the HTTP/HTTPS Request before being sent . This mechanism can be used to implement authentication policies, add headers to a request , add log trace or even redirect requests.

Features

• Intercept HTTP/HTTPS request header
• Intercept HTTP/HTTPS request endpoint
• View traffic logs
• Request obserever
• Intercept HTTP/HTTPS response body
• Block HTTP requests

How it works

NetShears has three main functionality :

1 - Network request observer which can be used to observe every HTTP/HTTPS request using delegation.

Netshears.shared.startListener() 

2 - Request interceptor mechanisms to be able to modify the HTTP/HTTPS Request before being sent.

Netshears.shared.startInterceptor() 

3 - Show network traffics.

Netshears.shared.startLogger() 

Interceptor

Make sure to call startInterceptor() before adding modifiers.

Netshears.shared.startInterceptor()

Header Modification:

let header = HeaderModifyModel(key: "API-Version", value: "123")
let headerModifier = RequestEvaluatorModifierHeader(header: header)
NetShears.shared.modify(modifier: headerModifier)

Endpoint Modification:

let endpoint = RedirectedRequestModel(originalUrl: "/register", redirectUrl: "/login")
let endpointModifier = RequestEvaluatorModifierEndpoint(redirectedRequest: endpoint)
NetShears.shared.modify(modifier: endpointModifier)

Response Modification

let response = HTTPResponseModifyModel(
    url: "https://example.com/",
    data: #"{"message": "ok"}"#.data(using: .utf8)!
)
let responseModifier = RequestEvaluatorModifierResponse(response: response)
NetShears.shared.modify(modifier: responseModifier)

Traffic Monitoring

Make sure to call startLogger() before showing netwrok traffic logs.

Netshears.shared.startLogger()

In order to show network traffics in your app simply call presentNetworkMonitor method and then a view will present containing traffic logs.

NetShears.shared.presentNetworkMonitor()

gRPC

You can view gRPC calls by constructing the Request and Response from GRPC models:

public func addGRPC(url: String,
                        host: String,
                        requestObject: Data?,
                        responseObject: Data?,
                        success: Bool,
                        statusCode: Int,
                        statusMessage: String?,
                        duration: Double?,
                        HPACKHeadersRequest: [String: String]?,
                        HPACKHeadersResponse: [String: String]?)

Example

// Your GRPC services that is generated from SwiftGRPC
private let client = NoteServiceServiceClient.init(address: "127.0.0.1:12345", secure: false)


func insertNote(note: Note, completion: @escaping(Note?, CallResult?) -> Void) {
    _ = try? client.insert(note, completion: { (createdNote, result) in

        NetShears.shared.addGRPC(url: "https://test.com/grpc",
                         requestObject: try? note.jsonUTF8Data(),
                         responseObject: try? createdNote.jsonUTF8Data(),
                         success: result.success,
                         statusCode: result.statusCode.rawValue,
                         statusMessage: result.statusMessage)
    })
}

Request Observer

For observing requests you need to first call startListener then just simply adopt RequestBroadcast delegate.

NetShears.shared.startListener()

RequestBroadcast.shared.setDelegate(self)

Installation

Swift Package Manager

Create a Package.swift file.

// swift-tools-version:5.0

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
  name: "YourProject",
  dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/divar-ir/NetShears.git", from: "3.0.1"),
  ],
  targets: [
    .target(name: "YourProject", dependencies: ["NetShears"])
  ]
)

$ swift build

CocoaPods

# Podfile
use_frameworks!

target 'YOUR_TARGET_NAME' do
    pod 'NetShears'
end

Replace YOUR_TARGET_NAME and then, in the Podfile directory, type:

$ pod install
