Wait until swift for loop with asynchronous network requests finishes executing

by

You can use dispatch groups to fire an asynchronous callback when all your requests finish.

Here’s an example using dispatch groups to execute a callback asynchronously when multiple networking requests have all finished.

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let myGroup = DispatchGroup()

    for i in 0 ..< 5 {
        myGroup.enter()

        Alamofire.request("https://httpbin.org/get", parameters: ["foo": "bar"]).responseJSON { response in
            print("Finished request \(i)")
            myGroup.leave()
        }
    }

    myGroup.notify(queue: .main) {
        print("Finished all requests.")
    }
}

Output

Finished request 1
Finished request 0
Finished request 2
Finished request 3
Finished request 4
Finished all requests.
