ZamzamKit is a Swift package for rapid development using a collection of micro utility extensions for Standard Library, Foundation, and other native frameworks.
.package(url: "git@github.com:ZamzamInc/ZamzamKit.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "5.1.0"))
The ZamzamKit
package contains four different products you can import. Add any combination of these to your target's dependencies within your Package.swift
manifest:
.target(
name: "MyAppExample",
dependencies: [
.product(name: "ZamzamCore", package: "ZamzamKit"),
.product(name: "ZamzamLocation", package: "ZamzamKit"),
.product(name: "ZamzamNotification", package: "ZamzamKit"),
.product(name: "ZamzamUI", package: "ZamzamKit"),
]
)
Note: This library is highly volatile and changes often to stay ahead of cutting-edge technologies. It is recommended to copy over code that you want into your own libraries or fork it.
Collection
Get distinct elements from an array:
[1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 9, 9].distinct // [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
Remove an element from an array by the value:
var array = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"]
array.remove("c")
array // ["a", "b", "d", "e"]
Easily get the array version of an array slice:
["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"].prefix(3).array
Safely retrieve an element at the given index if it exists:
// Before
if let items = tabBarController.tabBar.items, items.count > 4 {
items[3].selectedImage = UIImage("my-image")
}
// After
tabBarController.tabBar.items?[safe: 3]?.selectedImage = UIImage("my-image")
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9][safe: 1] // Optional(3)
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9][safe: 12] // nil
Determine if a value is contained within the array of equatable values:
"b".within(["a", "b", "c"]) // true
let status: OrderStatus = .cancelled
status.within([.requested, .accepted, .inProgress]) // false
Dictionary
Convert to JSON string or data:
// Before
guard let data = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: merged, options: []),
let log = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) else {
return
}
// After
guard let log = merged.jsonString else {
return
}
Number
Round doubles, floats, or any floating-point type:
123.12312421.rounded(toPlaces: 3) // 123.123
Double.pi.rounded(toPlaces: 2) // 3.14
String
Create a new random string of given length:
String(random: 10) // "zXWG4hSgL9"
String(random: 4, prefix: "PIN-") // "PIN-uSjm"
Safely use subscript indexes and ranges on strings:
let value = "Abcdef123456"
value[3] // "d"
value[3..<6] // "def"
value[3...6] // "def1"
value[3...] // "def123456"
value[3...99] // nil
value[99] // nil
Validate string against common formats:
"test@example.com".isEmail // true
"123456789".isNumber // true
"zamzam".isAlpha // true
"zamzam123".isAlphaNumeric // true
Remove spaces or new lines from both ends:
" Abcdef123456 \n\r ".trimmed // "Abcdef123456"
Truncate to a given number of characters:
"Abcdef123456".truncated(3) // "Abc..."
"Abcdef123456".truncated(6, trailing: "***") // "Abcdef***"
Determine if a given value is contained:
"1234567890".contains("567") // true
"abc123xyz".contains("ghi") // false
Injects a separator every nth characters:
"1234567890".separated(every: 2, with: "-") // "12-34-56-78-90"
Remove the characters contained in a given set:
let string = """
{ 0 1
2 34
56 7 8
9
}
"""
string.strippingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines) // {0123456789}
Replace the characters contained in a given character set with another string:
let set = CharacterSet.alphanumerics
.insert(charactersIn: "_")
.inverted
let string = """
_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
0{1 2<3>4@5#6`7~8?9,0
1
"""
string.replacingCharacters(in: set, with: "_") //_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_0_1_2_3_4_5_6_7_8_9_0__1
Match using a regular expression pattern:
"1234567890".match(regex: "^[0-9]+?$") // true
"abc123xyz".match(regex: "^[A-Za-z]+$") // false
Replace occurrences of a regular expression pattern:
"aa1bb22cc3d888d4ee5".replacing(regex: "\\d", with: "*") // "aa*bb**cc*d***d*ee*"
Remove HTML for plain text:
"<p>This is <em>web</em> content with a <a href=\"http://example.com\">link</a>.</p>".htmlStripped // "This is web content with a link."
Encoders and decoders:
value.urlEncoded()
value.urlDecoded()
value.htmlDecoded()
value.base64Encoded()
value.base64Decoded()
value.base64URLEncoded()
Get an encrypted version of the string in hex format:
"test@example.com".sha256() // 973dfe463ec85785f5f95af5ba3906eedb2d931c24e69824a89ea65dba4e813b
Easily get the string version of substring:
"hello world".prefix(5).string
Determine if an optional string is
nil
or has no characters
var value: String? = "test 123"
value.isNilOrEmpty
Bundle
Get the string from a file within any bundle:
Bundle.main.string(file: "Test.txt") // "This is a test. Abc 123.\n"
Get a generic array from a property list file within any bundle:
let values: [String] = Bundle.main.array(plist: "Array.plist")
values[0] // "Abc"
values[1] // "Def"
values[2] // "Ghi"
let values: [[String: Any]] = Bundle.main.array(plist: "Things.plist")
values[0]["id"] as? Int // 1
values[0]["name"] as? String // "Test 1"
values[0]["description"] as? String // "This is a test for 1.")

URLSession
A thin wrapper around
URLSession
andURLRequest
for simple network requests:
let request = URLRequest(
url: URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/get")!,
method: .get,
parameters: [
"abc": 123,
"def": "test456",
"xyz": true
],
headers: [
"Abc": "test123",
"Def": "test456",
"Xyz": "test789"
]
)
let networkManager = NetworkManager(
service: NetworkFoundationService()
)
networkManager.send(with: request) { result in
switch result {
case let .success(response):
response.data
response.headers
response.statusCode
case let .failure(error):
error.statusCode
}
}
Or call multiple URL requests simultaneously:
let request1 = URLRequest(
url: URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/get")!,
method: .get
)
let request2 = URLRequest(
url: URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/post")!,
method: .post
)
let request3 = URLRequest(
url: URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/delete")!,
method: .delete
)
networkManager.send(requests: request1, request2, request3) { firstResult, anotherResult, otherResult in
switch firstResult {
case let .success(response):
response.data
case let .failure(error):
error.statusCode
}
switch anotherResult {
case let .success(response):
response.data
case let .failure(error):
error.statusCode
}
switch otherResult {
case let .success(response):
response.data
case let .failure(error):
error.statusCode
}
}
Use an adapter to intercept any
URLRequest
and modify for all network requests:
struct CustomURLRequestAdapter: URLRequestAdapter {
func adapt(_ request: URLRequest) -> URLRequest {
var request = request
request.setValue("1", forHTTPHeaderField: "X-Test-1")
request.setValue("2", forHTTPHeaderField: "X-Test-2")
return request
}
}
let request = URLRequest(
url: URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/get")!,
method: .get
)
let networkManager = NetworkManager(
service: NetworkFoundationService(),
adapter: CustomURLRequestAdapter()
)
networkManager.send(with: request) { result in
guard case let .success(response) else { return }
request.value(forHTTPHeaderField: "X-Test-1") == nil // true
request.value(forHTTPHeaderField: "X-Test-2") == nil // true
response.request.value(forHTTPHeaderField: "X-Test-1") == "1" // true
response.request.value(forHTTPHeaderField: "X-Test-2") == "2" // true
}
AppInfo
Get details of the current app:
struct SomeStruct: AppInfo {
}
let someStruct = SomeStruct()
someStruct.appDisplayName // "Zamzam App"
someStruct.appBundleID // "io.zamzam.app"
someStruct.appVersion // "1.0.0"
someStruct.appBuild // "23"
someStruct.isInTestFlight // false
someStruct.isRunningOnSimulator // false
Apply
Set properties with closures just after initializing:
let paragraph = NSMutableParagraphStyle().apply {
$0.alignment = .center
$0.lineSpacing = 8
}
let label = UILabel().apply {
$0.textAlignment = .center
$0.textColor = UIColor.black
$0.text = "Hello, World!"
}
UITabBar.appearance().apply {
$0.barStyle = .dark
$0.tintColor = .blue
}
Atomic
A thread-safe value that handles concurrent reads and writes (read more):
var temp = Atomic<Int>(0)
DispatchQueue.concurrentPerform(iterations: 1_000_000) { index in
temp.value { $0 += 1 }
}
XCTAssertEqual(temp.value, 1_000_000) // true
AppMigration
Manages blocks of code that only need to run once on version updates in apps:
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
let migration = AppMigration()
func application(_ application: UIApplication, willFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]? = nil) -> Bool {
migration
.performUpdate {
print("Migrate update occurred.")
}
.perform(forVersion: "1.0") {
print("Migrate to 1.0 occurred.")
}
.perform(forVersion: "1.7") {
print("Migrate to 1.7 occurred.")
}
.perform(forVersion: "2.4") {
print("Migrate to 2.4 occurred.")
}

KeychainService
:
let keychain = KeychainManager(
service: KeychainExternalService()
)
keychain.set("kjn989hi", forKey: .token)
keychain.get(.token) {
print($0) // "kjn989hi"
}

NilOrEmptyAssignment ??+
Assign a value if not nil or empty:
var test: String
var value: String?
test = value ??+ "Abc"
// test == "Abc"
