A handy collection of more than 370 native Swift 3 extensions to boost your productivity.

Whats New in v1.3?

v1.3 adds more than 90 new extensions making it the widest extensions library available online for Swift 3 with extensions for more than 36 type. This is the biggest update since library launch! We're so excited 🤓.

Requirements:

Xcode 8 (or later) with Swift 3. This library is made for iOS 8 or later, however most of the extensions should work on watchOS, tvOS, and macOS.

Installation

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

To integrate SwifterSwift into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

target '<Your Target Name>' do
    pod 'SwifterSwift'
end

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

To integrate SwifterSwift into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "omaralbeik/SwifterSwift" ~> 1.3.4

Run carthage update to build the framework and drag the built SwifterSwift.framework into your Xcode project.

Manually

Add the extensions folder to your Xcode project to use all extensions, or a specific extension.

How cool is this?

SwifterSwift is a library of over 370 properties and methods, designed to extend Swift's functionality and productivity, staying faithful to the original API design guidelines of Swift 3.

Here are some examples:

Array Extensions:

// Remove duplicates from array
[1, 2, 3, 1, 3].removeDuplicates() -> [1, 2, 3]

// Return all indexes of specified item
["h", "e", "l", "l", "o"].indexes(of: "l") -> [2, 3]

// Shuffle array
["h", "e", "l", "l", "o"].shuffled = ["e", "l", "o", "l", "h"]

// Return random item from array
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].randomItem -> 3

// and many others!

Date Extensions:

// Get and set components from date with ease
date.hour = 14

// Check if date is in today
Date().isInToday -> true

// Add 1 month to current date
Date().add(.month, value: 1)

// Return date at the beginning of current day
Date().beginning(of .day)

// Return date at the end of current month
Date().end(of .month)

// Check if date is in current calendar unit
Date().isInCurrent(.month) -> true

// Return iso8601 string for date
Date().iso8601String -> "2016-08-23T21:26:15.287Z"

// Create date from iso8601 string
let date = Date(iso8601String: "2016-08-23T21:26:15.287Z")

// Create date from DateComponents
let date = Date(year: 2016, month: 8, day: 15) // other components set to current
let date = Date(hour: 9, minute: 18, second: 1) // other components set to current

// Represent date as a string with ease
Date().dateString(ofStyle: .medium) -> "Aug 26, 2016"
Date().timeString(ofStyle: .short) -> "12:55 AM"
Date().dateTimeString() -> "Aug 26, 2016, 12:55:24 AM"

// and many others!

// Check if string contains one or more emojis
"string👨‍with😍emojis✊🏿".containEmoji -> true

// Convert string to numbers
"12.12".toDouble -> 12.12

// Encode and decode URLs

// Encode and decode base64
"Hello World!".base64Encoded -> "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh"
