Xcore is a collection of hundreds of Swift extensions and components designed to minimize boilerplate to accomplish common tasks with ease. It is a framework to efficiently build and scale apps without compromising quality, maintainability and developer productivity. Check out the included example project and documentation to see how.

Installation

Swift Package Manager

Xcore is available through Swift Package Manager. To integrate it into a project, add it as a dependency within your Package.swift manifest:

let package = Package(
    ...
    dependencies: [
        .package(name: "Xcore", url: "https://github.com/zmian/xcore", .branch("main"))
    ],
    ...
)

CocoaPods

Xcore is available through CocoaPods. To integrate Xcore into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'Xcore'

Latest version

pod 'Xcore', :git => 'https://github.com/zmian/xcore'

Third-Party Extensions

Xcore provides extensions for various third-party frameworks. They are behind #if canImportflag to avoid linking these frameworks as hard dependencies.

To enable these extension in your own project, simply add the following script in your podfile:

post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            if target.name == "Xcore" then
                # Exposing Carthage frameworks
                #
                # Expose `Vendor` (Carthage) directory to Xcore so we can get conditional extensions.
                config.build_settings['FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS'] ||= ['$(inherited)', '${PODS_ROOT}/../Vendor']

                # Exposing CocoaPods frameworks
                #
                # Or expose `SnapKit` pod to Xcore so we can get conditional extensions.
                config.build_settings['FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS'] ||= ['$(inherited)', '${PODS_CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/SnapKit']
                # Link `SnapKit` framework to Xcore so the conditional canImport flag works.
                config.build_settings['OTHER_LDFLAGS'] ||= ['$(inherited)', '-framework "SnapKit"']
            end
        end
    end
end

Replace '${PODS_ROOT}/../Vendor' with location of your frameworks directory.

Note: This script can also make your Carthage dependencies visible to Xcore so you can use these conditional extensions.
