Alidade

Utility components

Installation

pod 'Alidade', '~> 1.2'

Subspecs

All available features are avaiable in separated subspecs:

Core

Basic extenstion for basic swift types, like: CGRect, CGPoint, Sequence, UIColor etc. For example very usefull safe index access:

guard let model = models[safe: index] else { return }

Date

Date manipulating utils and operators for different cases like:

• Dates comparison, the comparison only by component
• Easy component access
• String formatting
• Components modification

let tomorrow = Date() + DateComponents(day: 1)

Geometry

Some useful basic geometry concepts such as Ray, Line or Segment;

Vectors

Useful operators set for manipulating basic UIKit/CoreGraphics types as multi-dimensional vectors. For example CGRect and UIEdgeInsets both are 4d vectors. It lets client do the following:

let rect: CGRect
let insets: UIEdgeInsets
let rectWithInsets = rect + insets

String

To calculate and cache String and NSAttributedString text size. Also, the ability to convert and cache HTML to NSAttributedString using NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html.

UI

Cool utils for UIView, such as

func addSubviews(_ subviews: [UIView])
func addSubviews(_ subviews: UIView...)

Custom views: GradientView, PathView

UIExtension

Most useful is UIScalable protocol to let you work in the same proportions with the provided design. You need to setup smallets size from design as base value:

UI.setBaseWidths([.pad: 768, .phone: 375])

Then you can access adjusted value using .ui extension:

let width: CGFloat = 180.ui

Also, if you have separated modules or design, provided for you, have different screen sizes across the design. You can use Intent associated with your module:

UI.setBaseWidths([.pad: 768, .phone: 320], for: Module.intent)
// then you can access 
let width: CGFloat = 180.uiValue(for: Module.intent)

Boxed

Box container for mutability properties in immutable containers:

public class Boxed<T> {
  public var value: T?
  public init(_ value: T? = nil) {
    self.value = value
  }
  public func flatMap<U>(_ transform: (T) -> U?) -> U? {
    return value.flatMap(transform)
  }
 }

Flowable

Amazing and useful extensions for the creation and simultaneous object setup in-place. For example:

let label = UILabel {
  $0.text = "Text"
  $0.numberOfLines = 2
}

FormatterPool

Tools for creation and cache different types of formatters. For Dates, DateInterval, Length, PersonNameComponents etc.
