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 observer
• ☑ 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)
    })
}

Ignore requests

You can ignore requests by setting NetShears.ignore to .enabled and set its ignoreHandler as below:

Example

NetShears.shared.ignore = .enabled(ignoreHandler: { request in
    request.url.contains("google")
})

Note that requests will be ignored just in Traffic Monitoring View; so you can set another ignoreHandler and get different results. By default NetShears.ignore is .disabled.

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: "3.2.3"),
  ],
  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
