A handy collection of more than 390 native Swift 3 extensions to boost your productivity.

Whats New in v1.4.1?

v1.4.1 adds 13 new extensions to String, UIColor, Date and others.

Requirements:

Xcode 8 (or later) with Swift 3. This library is made for iOS 8 or later, however most of the extensions should work on watchOS, tvOS, and macOS.

Installation

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

To integrate SwifterSwift into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

target '<Your Target Name>' do
    pod 'SwifterSwift'
end

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

To integrate SwifterSwift into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "omaralbeik/SwifterSwift" ~> 1.4

Run carthage update to build the framework and drag the built SwifterSwift.framework into your Xcode project.

Swift Package Manager

You can use The Swift Package Manager to install SwifterSwift by adding the proper description to your Package.swift file:

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "YOUR_PROJECT_NAME",
    targets: [],
    dependencies: [
        .Package(url: "https://github.com/omaralbeik/SwifterSwift.git", versions: Version(1,4,0)..<Version(2, .max, .max)),
    ]
)

Note that the Swift Package Manager is still in early design and development, for more information checkout its GitHub Page

Manually

Add the extensions folder to your Xcode project to use all extensions, or a specific extension.

How cool is this?

SwifterSwift is a library of over 390 properties and methods, designed to extend Swift's functionality and productivity, staying faithful to the original API design guidelines of Swift 3.

Here are some examples:

Array Extensions:

// Remove duplicates from array
[1, 2, 3, 1, 3].removeDuplicates() -> [1, 2, 3]

// Return all indexes of specified item
["h", "e", "l", "l", "o"].indexes(of: "l") -> [2, 3]

// Shuffle array
["h", "e", "l", "l", "o"].shuffled = ["e", "l", "o", "l", "h"]

// Return random item from array
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].randomItem -> 3

// and many others!

Date Extensions:

// Get and set components from date with ease
date.hour = 14

// Check if date is in today
Date().isInToday -> true

// Add 1 month to current date
Date().add(.month, value: 1)

// Return date at the beginning of current day
Date().beginning(of: .day)

// Return date at the end of current month
Date().end(of: .month)

// Check if date is in current calendar unit
Date().isInCurrent(.month) -> true

// Return iso8601 string for date
Date().iso8601String -> "2016-08-23T21:26:15.287Z"

// Create date from iso8601 string
let date = Date(iso8601String: "2016-08-23T21:26:15.287Z")

// Create date from DateComponents
let date = Date(year: 2016, month: 8, day: 15) // other components set to current
let date = Date(hour: 9, minute: 18, second: 1) // other components set to current

// Represent date as a string with ease
Date().dateString(ofStyle: .medium) -> "Aug 26, 2016"
Date().timeString(ofStyle: .short) -> "12:55 AM"
Date().dateTimeString() -> "Aug 26, 2016, 12:55:24 AM"

// Get day name or month name from a date
Date().dayName(ofStyle: .full) -> "Sunday"
Date().monthName(ofStyle: .threeLetters) -> "Dec"

// and many others!

String Extensions:

// Return count of substring in string
"hello world".count(of "o", caseSensitive: false) -> 2

// Return an array of strings separated by given string
