// Example of Basic Error Handling in Combine import Combine enum NetworkError: Error { case badURL case requestFailed case unknown } let url = URL(string: "https://api.example.com/data")! var cancellable: AnyCancellable? = URLSession.shared.dataTaskPublisher(for: url) .map(\.data) .decode(type: YourModel.self, decoder: JSONDecoder()) .mapError { error -> NetworkError in // Handle different error cases if let urlError = error as? URLError { switch urlError.code { case .badURL: return .badURL case .timedOut: return .requestFailed default: return .unknown } } return .unknown } .receive(on: RunLoop.main) .sink(receiveCompletion: { completion in switch completion { case .finished: print("Finished successfully") case .failure(let error): print("Error occurred: \(error)") } }, receiveValue: { model in print("Received model: \(model)") }) // Don't forget to store the cancellable for the subscription to remain active.
