Hands-On Server-Side Web Development with Swift

Modeling Codable data

You can run the following commands on the Terminal to create your myJournal application from the Kitura boilerplate project:

$ mkdir myJournal$ cd myJournal$ kitura init$ swift run$ open ./myJournal.xcodeproj

import Foundationstruct Entry: Codable {  var id: String var title: String? var content: String?  init(id: String, title: String? = nil, content: String? = nil) { self.id = id self.title = title self.content = content }}
