SwiftyUtils

SwiftyUtils groups all the reusable code that we need to ship in each project. This framework contains: - Extensions - Protocols - Structs - Subclasses

Working on iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS, everything has been made to be easy to use! :tada:

Swift, Foundation and CoreGraphics Extensions

Array extension

Safely access to an element:

var array = [1, 2, 3]
print(array[safe: 0]) // Optional(1)
print(array[safe: 10]) // nil

Find all the index of an object:

var array = [1, 2, 3, 1]
print(array.indexes(of: 1)) // [0,3]

Get index of first / last occurrence of an object:

var array = [1, 2, 3, 1]
print(array.firstIndex(of: 1)) // Optional(0)
print(array.lastIndex(of: 1)) // Optional(3)

Remove an object:

var array = [1, 2, 3]
myArray.remove(object: 2)
print(myArray) // [1, 3]
myArray.remove(objects: [1, 3])
print(myArray) // []

Remove all the duplicates:

var array = [0, 0, 1, 1, 2]
array.removeDuplicates()
print(array) // [0,1,2]

let array = [0, 0, 1, 1, 2]
let newArray.removedDuplicates()
print(newArray) // [0,1,2]

Remove all instances of an item:

var array = [0, 0, 1, 1, 2]
array.removeAll(0)
print(array) // [1,1,2]

let array = [0, 0, 1, 1, 2]
let newArray = array.removedAll(0)
print(newArray) // [1,1,2]

Check if an array is a subset of another array:

var array = [1, 2, 3]
print(array.contains([1, 2])) // true
print(array.contains([5])) // false

Determine if an array contains an object:

var array = [1, 2, 3]
print(array.contains(1)) // true
print(array.contains(11)) // false

Get intersection and union of two arrays:

var myArray = [1, 2, 3]
print(array.intersection(for: [1, 5, 3])) // [1, 3]
print(array.union(values: [5, 6])) // [1, 2, 3, 5, 6]

Get difference between two arrays:

var array = [1, 2, 3]
print(array.difference(with: [1])) // [2, 3]

Split into chunk of a specific size:

var array = [1, 2, 3, 4]
print(array.split(intoChunksOf: 2)) // [[1, 2], [3, 4]]

Bundle extension

Get bundle information:

let point2 = CGPoint(x: 10, y: 10)
print(point1 + point2) // CGPoint(x: 20, y: 20)

point1 += point2
print(point1) // CGPoint(x: 20, y: 20)

Substract two

CGPoint

var point1 = CGPoint(x: 10, y: 10)
let point2 = CGPoint(x: 10, y: 10)
print(point1 - point2) // CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0)

point1 -= point2
print(point1) // CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0)

Multiply a

CGPoint

var point1 = CGPoint(x: 10, y: 10)
print(point1 * 2) // CGPoint(x: 20, y: 20)

point1 *= 2
print(point1) // CGPoint(x: 20, y: 20)

CGRect extension

Get the origin's x and y coordinates:

aRect.x // instead of aRect.origin.x
aRect.y // instead of aRect.origin.y

Change one property of a

CGRect

let rect = CGRect(x: 10, y: 20, width: 30, height: 40) 
let widerRect = rect.with(width: 100) // x: 10, y: 20, width: 100, height: 40
let tallerRect = rect.with(height: 100) // x: 10, y: 20, width: 30, height: 100
let rectAtAnotherPosition = rect.with(x: 100).with(y: 200) // x: 100, y: 200, width: 30, height: 40
let rectWithAnotherSize = rect.with(size: CGSize(width: 200, height: 200)) // x: 10, y: 20, width: 200, height: 200

CGSize extension

Add two

CGSize

var size1 = CGSize(width: 10, height: 10)
let size2 = CGSize(width: 10, height: 10)
print(size1 + size2) // CGSize(width: 20, height: 20)

size1 += size2
print(size1) // CGSize(width: 20, height: 20)

Substract two

CGSize

var size1 = CGSize(width: 10, height: 10)
let size2 = CGSize(width: 10, height: 10)
print(size1 - size2) // CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)

size1 -= size2
print(size1) // CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)

Multiply a

CGSize

var size1 = CGSize(x: 10, y: 10)
print(size1 * 2) // CGSize(width: 20, height: 20)

size1 *= 2
print(size1) // CGSize(width: 20, height: 20)

Color extension

Create colors with HEX values:

let myUIColor = UIColor(hex: "233C64") // Equals 35,60,100,1
let myNSColor = NSColor(hex: "233C64") // Equals 35,60,100,1

Access to individual color value:

let myColor = UIColor(red: 120, green: 205, blue: 44, alpha: 0.3)
print(myColor.redComponent) // 120
print(myColor.greenComponent) // 205
print(myColor.blueComponent) // 44
print(myColor.alpha) // 0.3

Get lighter or darker variants of colors instances:

let color = UIColor(red: 0.5, green: 0.5, blue: 1.0, alpha: 1.0)
let lighter = color.lighter(amount: 0.5)
let darker = color.darker(amount: 0.5)
// OR
let lighter = color.lighter()
let darker = color.darker()

let color = NSColor(red: 0.5, green: 0.5, blue: 1.0, alpha: 1.0)
let lighter = color.lighter(amount: 0.5)
let lighter = color.lighter()
// OR
let darker = color.darker(amount: 0.5)

let data = Data(hexString: hexString)

Get hex string from data:

let data = Data(...)
let string = data.toHexString()
// string = "6261736520313020697320736F2062617369632E206261736520313620697320776865726520697427732061742C20796F2E" if using previous example value

Convert date to string:

let now = Date()
print(now.string())
print(now.string(dateStyle: .medium, timeStyle: .medium))
print(now.string(format: "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"))

See how much time passed:

let now = Date()
let later = Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: -100000)
print(later.days(since: now)) // 1.15740740782409

let dic3 = dic1.union(values: dic2)
print(dic3) // ["one": 1, "two": 2, "four": 4]

map

let dic = ["a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3]
let result = dic.map { key, value in
    return (key.uppercased(), "\(value * 2)")
}
print(dic) // ["A": "2, "B": "4", "C": "6"]

flatMap

let dic = ["a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3]
let result = dic.flatMap { key, value -> (String, String)? in
    if value % 2 == 0 {
        return nil
    }
    return (key.uppercased(), "\(value * 2)")
}
print(dic) // ["A": "2, "C": "6"]

Get difference of two dictionaries:

let dic1 = ["one": 1, "two": 2]
let dic2 = ["one": 1, "four": 4]
difference(with: dic1, dic2) // ["two": 2, "four": 4]

Merge several dictionaries:

let dic1 = ["one": 1, "two": 2]
let dic2 = ["three": 3, "four": 4]

Reset the navigation stack by deleting previous view controllers:

let navController = UINavigationController()
navController.pushViewController(vc1, animated: true)
navController.pushViewController(vc2, animated: true)
navController.pushViewController(vc3, animated: true)
vc3.removePreviousControllers(animated: true)
print(navController.viewControllers) // [vc3]

Check if ViewController is onscreen and not hidden:

let viewController = UIViewController()
print(viewController.isVisible) // false

Check if ViewController is presented modally:

let viewController = UIViewController()
print(viewController.isModal)

Open Safari modally:

let url = URL(string: "https://www.apple.com")
vc.openSafariVC(url: url, delegate: self)

Add a child view controller to another controller:

vc.addChildController(childVC, subview: vc.view, animated: true, duration: 0.35, options: [.curveEaseInOut, .transitionCrossDissolve])

Add a child view controller to a container view:

vc.addChildController(childVC, in: containerView)

Remove a child view controller:

vc.removeChildController(childVC)

Add a SwiftUI

View

UIView

vc.addSubSwiftUIView(SwiftUIView(), to: vc.view)

UIKit Protocols:

UIView

UIView

class NibLoadableView: UIView, NibLoadable {
    // ...
}

let view = NibLoadableView.loadFromNib()

NibOwnerLoadable

Make your

UIView

UIView

class NibLoadableView: UIView, NibOwnerLoadable {
    // ...

required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
  super.init(coder: aDecoder)
  self.loadNibContent()
}
}
// Then use it directly from another xib or whatever...

AppKit, Cocoa Extensions

NSView extension

Change the frame of the view easily

let aView = NSView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100))
aView.x += 100 // move  to right
aView.y += 100 // move downwards
aView.width -= 10 // make the view narrower
aView.height -= 10 // make the view shorter 

Automates your localizables

aView.convertLocalizables()

It will iterate on all the subviews of the view, and use the text / placeholder as key in

NSLocalizedString

Protocols

Injectable

Protocol to do

ViewController

class RedPillViewController: UIViewController, Injectable {

@IBOutlet weak private var mainLabel: UILabel!

// the type matches the IOU's type
typealias T = String

// this is my original dependency (IOU)
// I can now make this private!
private var mainText: String!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // this will crash if the IOU is not set
    assertDependencies()

    // using the IOU if needed here,
    // but using it later is fine as well
    mainLabel.text = mainText
}

// Injectable Implementation
func inject(text: T) {
    mainText = text
}

func assertDependencies() {
    assert(mainText != nil)
}
}
// ViewController that will inject data...
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
switch segueIdentifierForSegue(segue) {
case .TheRedPillExperience
    let redPillVC = segue.destinationViewController as? RedPillViewController
    redPillVC?.inject("😈")
case .TheBluePillExperience:
    let bluePillVC = segue.destinationViewController as? BluePillViewController
    bluePillVC?.inject("👼")
}
}

Occupiable

The following use cases works for String Array, Dictionary, and Set

isEmpty

isNotEmpty

No optional types only

var string = "Hello world"
print(string.isNotEmpty) // true
print(string.isEmpty) // false

isNilOrEmpty

Optional types only

let string: String? = ""
print(string.isNilOrEmpty) // true

Then

Syntactic sugar for Swift initializers:

let label = UILabel().then {
    $0.textAlignment = .Center
    $0.textColor = .blackColor()
    $0.text = "Hello, World!"
}

PropertyWrappers

UserDefaultsBacked

Type safe access to UserDefaults with support for default values.

struct SettingsViewModel {
    @UserDefaultsBacked(key: "search-page-size", defaultValue: 20)
    var numberOfSearchResultsPerPage: Int

@UserDefaultsBacked(key: "signature")
var messageSignature: String?
}

Others

UnitTesting

Grand Central Dispatch sugar syntax:

Detect if UITests are running:

if UnitTesting.isRunning {
  // tests are running
} else {
  // everything is fine, move along
}

Measure tests performance:

func testPerformance() {
  let measurement = measure {
    // run operation
  }
}

UITesting

Detect if UITests are running:

if UITesting.isRunning {
  // tests are running
} else {
  // everything is fine, move along
}

Shell Utility

(macOS only)

Runs a command on a system shell and provides the return code for success, STDOUT, and STDERR.

STDOUT as one continuous String:

let (rCode, stdOut, stdErr) = SystemUtility.shell(["ls", "-l", "/"])
// rCode = 0 (which is "true" in shell)
// stdOut = "total 13\ndrwxrwxr-x+ 91 root  admin  2912 Feb 11 01:24 Applications" ...  etc
// stdErr = [""]

STDOUT as array of Strings separated by newlines:

let (rCode, stdOut, stdErr) = SystemUtility.shellArrayOut(["ls", "-l", "/"])
// rCode = 0 (which is "true" in shell)
// stdOut = ["total 13", "drwxrwxr-x+ 91 root  admin  2912 Feb 11 01:24 Applications" ...  etc]
// stdErr = [""]
