StorageKit

Sometimes Core Data or SQLite are overkill for your app. In those situations, StorageKit is a great solution to save Codable objects to disk.

Install StorageKit

StorageKit currently only supports installation via Swift Package Manager.

Add Package Dependency

In Xcode, select File > Add Packages....

Specify the Repository

Copy and paste the following into the search/input box. https://github.com/SparrowTek/StorageKit.git

Specify Options

In the options for the StorageKit package, we recommend setting the Dependency Rule to Up to Next Major Version, and enter the current StorageKit version. Then, click Add Package.

Select the Package Products

Select StorageKit, then click Add Package.

Getting started

First import StorageKit

import StorageKit

For any Codable object save and retrieve from disk.

struct User: Codable {
    let name: String
    let id: Int
}

Store

do {
    let user = User(name: "Thomas", id: 123)
    try Storage.store(user, to: .documents, as: "user.json")
} catch {
    // TODO: handle error
}

retrieve

let user = Storage.retrieve("user.json", from: .documents, as: User.self)

delete

do {
    try Storage.remove("user.json", from: .documents)
} catch {
    // TODO: handle error
}

does a file exist?

let exists = Storage.fileExists("user.json", in: .documents)
