SwifterSwift is a collection of over 500 native Swift extensions, with handy methods, syntactic sugar, and performance improvements for wide range of primitive data types, UIKit and Cocoa classes โover 500 in 1โ for iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS and Linux.
- iOS 12.0+ / tvOS 12.0+ / watchOS 4.0+ / macOS 10.13+ / Ubuntu 14.04+
- Swift 5.6+
SwifterSwift is Swift v5.0+ compatible starting from v5
- To use with Swift 3 / Xcode 8.x please ensure you are using
v3.1.1. - To use with Swift 3.2 / Xcode 9.x please ensure you are using
v3.2.0.
CocoaPods
To integrate SwifterSwift into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:
pod 'SwifterSwift'pod 'SwifterSwift/SwiftStdlib'pod 'SwifterSwift/Foundation'pod 'SwifterSwift/UIKit'pod 'SwifterSwift/AppKit'pod 'SwifterSwift/MapKit'pod 'SwifterSwift/CoreGraphics'pod 'SwifterSwift/CoreLocation'pod 'SwifterSwift/CryptoKit'pod 'SwifterSwift/SpriteKit'pod 'SwifterSwift/SceneKit'pod 'SwifterSwift/StoreKit'pod 'SwifterSwift/Dispatch'pod 'SwifterSwift/WebKit'pod 'SwifterSwift/HealthKit'Carthage
To integrate SwifterSwift into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:
github "SwifterSwift/SwifterSwift" ~> 6.0
Swift Package Manager
You can use The Swift Package Manager to install SwifterSwift by adding the proper description to your Package.swift file:
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "YOUR_PROJECT_NAME",
targets: [],
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/SwifterSwift/SwifterSwift.git", from: "6.0.0")
]
)
Next, add SwifterSwift to your targets dependencies like so:
.target(
name: "YOUR_TARGET_NAME",
dependencies: [
"SwifterSwift",
]
),Then run swift package update.
Note that the Swift Package Manager doesn't support building for iOS/tvOS/macOS/watchOS apps โ see Accio in the next section for that.
Accio
Accio is a dependency manager based on SwiftPM which can build frameworks for iOS/macOS/tvOS/watchOS. Therefore the integration steps are exactly the same as described above. Once your Package.swift file is configured, you need to run accio update instead of swift package update though.
Manually
Add the SwifterSwift folder to your Xcode project to use all extensions, or a specific extension.
For your test targets you can also add the XCTest folder.
