Using MailSlurp in Swift code

The MailSlurp library creates controllers for every endpoint on the MailSlurp REST API

CommonActionsControllerAPI.sendEmailSimpleWithRequestBuilder(emailOptions: sendOptions)
  .addHeader(name: "x-api-key", value: apiKey)
  .execute()
  .done { response in
    // handle success
  }
  .catch(policy: .allErrors) { err in
    // handle error
    guard let e = err as? mailslurp.ErrorResponse else {
        error = err.localizedDescription
        return
    }
    // pattern match the error to access status code and data
    // MailSlurp returns 4xx errors when invalid parameters or
    // unsatisfiable request. See the message and status code
    switch e {
    case .error(let statusCode, let data, _, _):
        let msg = String(decoding: data!, as: UTF8.self)
        error = "\(statusCode) Bad request: \(msg)"
    }
  }
