Sukari

🍯 Powerful, Elegant Syntactical Sugar for Swift 🍯

Path

Sukari is still under development. We are still defining many things around how Sukari works and how the API works. These decissions might result into breaking changes in the Sake APIs. Once the api's are stable we'll use semantic versioning ensuring that only major versions include breaking changes.

Description

Enjoy Beutiful Syntactic Enhancements that will save you Hundreds Or Thousands of lines of Code

Simply add Sukari to your initializers

Use .this{} to Initialize Swiftly! 🌈

```swift
let fileManager = FileManager().this {
   $0.urls(for: .applicationDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)
}
```

Clean up your initialization Code! ✨

  let tableView : UITableView = {
      let table = UITableView()
      table.backgroundColor = .white
      table.register(UserCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "CellID")
      table.separatorStyle = .none
      table.allowsSelection = false
      return table
  }()

Initialize in this way. and and stop repeating yourself! 🚦

let tableView = UITableView().this {
    $0.backgroundColor = .white
    $0.register(UserCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "CellID")
    $0.separatorStyle = .none
    $0.allowsSelection = false
}

Add Sugar to your own Types with a little Extension 🔌

extension CustomType: Sukari {}

let instance = CustomType().this {
      $0.color = .blue
      $0.label.text = "Custom Type"
 }

Make your code base a little Sweeter 🍭

class LoginViewController : UIViewController {
    var loginButton = UIButton().this {
        $0.setTitle("Login", for: .normal)
        $0.backgroundColor = . yellow
        $0.layer.masksToBounds = true
        $0.layer.cornerRadius = 5
    }
    
     let emailTextField = UITextField().this {
        $0.placeholder = "Email"
        $0.borderStyle = .roundedRect
        $0.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 14)
        $0.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 0, alpha: 0.03)
    }
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        view.addSubview(loginButton)
        view.addSubview(emailTextField)
    }
}

Unwrap

Unwrap lets you easily require Optional values to be non-nil, or crash with ease.

Often Times you have to handle many optionals in your code Using Guard or If let in order to unwrap optional values in your code. This Has Two Problems.

  1. It Causes Code Congestion, making your code harder to read and maintain
  2. After Unwrapping with Guard or If let you recieve absolutely No debuging information.

Unwrap Solves these problems by providing Syntactical Sugar to your code. Quickly and easy unwrap your optionals with .unwrap and provide debug information such as which line and file the crash happened with .unwrap(debug:)

Usage

Call unwrap() on any Optional, optionally giving a debugMessage for debugging purposes:

struct Person {
    let name: String
    let email: String
    init(dictionary: [String: Any]) {
        name = dictionary["name"].unwrap(debug: "Unable to find json Element Name") as! String
        email = dictionary["email"].unwrap(debug: "Unable to find json Element Email") as! String
    }
}
    let dictionary = ["ame": "Chris", "email": "chrisbkarani@gmail.com"]
    let chris = Person(dictionary: dictionary)
    print(chris.name) //Chris
    print(chris.email) // chrisbkarani@gmail.com

Descriptive Debug Messages

Another Real-World Example

Without Using Unwrap

class LoginController: UIViewController {
    var token: Token?
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // more code is more bugs
        guard let unwrappedToken = token else {
            // if this crashes we enter a 'nil' state in our app with no debug information
            return
        }
        LoginService.login(unwrappedToken)
    }
    
}

With Unwrap

class LoginController: UIViewController {
    var token: Token?
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        LoginService.login(token.unwrap())
    }
}
