SwiftHelpers is a collection of convenient Swift extensions and helper functions designed to simplify common tasks and improve code readability in your Swift projects. These utilities cover a wide range of functionalities, from working with arrays and strings to manipulating dates and handling optional values.

• Array extensions for sorting, subscripting, and mutation
• String extensions for regex evaluation and validation
• Date extensions for easy date manipulation and formatting
• Optional extensions for error handling and unwrapping
• Codable extensions for easy JSON encoding and decoding
• Sequence extensions for unique filtering and transformations
• Bundle extensions for retrieving app version and build information
• Comparable extensions for value clamping

Add the following line to the dependencies in your Package.swift file:

swift

.package(url: "https://github.com/stalkermv/SwiftHelpers", from: "1.0.0")

Then, add SwiftHelpers to your target's dependencies:

swift

.target(name: "YourTarget", dependencies: ["SwiftHelpers"])

After installing the library, simply import SwiftHelpers at the top of your Swift files and start using the provided extensions and helper functions.

import SwiftHelpers

// Example usage
let numbers = [1, 3, 2, 4]
let sortedNumbers = numbers.sorted { $0 < $1 }

let dateString = "2023-01-01T12:00:00Z"
let date = try? Date(iso8601: dateString)

The library defines two protocols for synchronous and asynchronous storage objects, respectively:

• Storage: A synchronous storage object that defines a set of methods for saving, loading, and removing encoded objects from a storage object.
• AsyncStorage: An asynchronous storage object that defines a set of methods for saving, loading, and removing encoded objects from a storage object asynchronously.

The Storage target provides two default implementations of Storage:

• KeychainStorage: A synchronous storage object that uses the system keychain to store and retrieve data.
• UserDefaults: A synchronous storage object that uses the UserDefaults system to store and retrieve data.

The library provides a property wrapper StorableValue that enables easy and safe storage of any Codable object. To use StorableValue, initialize it with the default value, a key, and a storage object.

import SwiftHelpers
import Storage

// Example usage of StorableValue with UserDefaults
@StorableValue(key: "exampleKey", storage: .userDefaults)
var exampleValue: String = "default"

// Example usage of StorableValue with KeychainStorage
@StorableValue(key: "exampleKey", storage: .userDefaults)
var secureValue: ExampleStruct? = nil

enum ExampleEnum: String, Codable {
    case firstCase
    case secondCase
}

struct ExampleStruct: Codable {
    var intValue: Int
    var stringValue: String
    var enumValue: ExampleEnum
}

secureValue = ExampleStruct(intValue: 123, stringValue: "example", enumValue: .firstCase)
