Sample Code

This sample code is to generate a function leveraging existing core functions you've already built.

                
func getAPIKit() -> (url: String, dict: Dictionary<String, AnyObject>) {

    var reference_type = ""
    var reference_no = 0

    var modified_on = "1/1/1900 12:00 AM"
    var review_summary = ""
    var review_tags = ""
    var review_confirmed = false

    let url = "https://api.peoplevine.com/review.asmx/postReview"
    
    let key = "item"
    let itemDict: Dictionary<String, AnyObject> = ["reference_type": reference_type, "reference_no": reference_no, "first_name": first_name, "last_name": last_name, "review_item_title": review_item_title, "review_details_no": review_details_no, "review_item_no": review_item_no, "customer_no": customer_no, "review_value": review_value, "review_comment": review_comment, "review_status": review_status, "ip_address": ip_address, "session_id": session_id, "device_info": device_info, "company_no": company_no, "user_no": user_no, "created_on": created_on, "modified_on": modified_on, "review_summary": review_summary, "review_tags": review_tags, "review_confirmed": review_confirmed ]
    let finalDict = User.getAuthDict(dictToAdd: itemDict, dictKey: key)
