Dependencies Injection

One place to “inject” all the services that your app use.

500+ Extensions

SwifterSwift is a collection of many extensions, making Swift even swifter. Before I write my own extension, I will check out what others might have already written.

Attributed String

NSAttributedString is not that friendly. Checkout for a better world with SwiftRichString.

JSON Decoder

• ObjectMapper - Using <- operator. Very popular, with Alamofire extension
• Unbox
• Decodable

Date Time

• DateTools: Date time utility, and moments such as “4 seconds ago”
• YLMoment (my fork) - easy format, and moments based on moments.js

But above 2 not complete enough. SO suggested others:

• FormatterKit by matt (popular): Not only for formatting dates, but also addresses and location
• NSDate+NVTimeAgo: Facebook style

Logging

• CocoaLumberjack
• SwiftyBeaver

Encryption

• Lockbox: save to keychain easily
• Heimdall: He is the gatekeeper at the rainbow road (in Thor). Simple encrypt, decrypt and signing of text.
• KeychainSwiftAPI

Core Data

• Sync sync JSON into Core Data
• CoreStore in Swift 2, very well documented, and seems complete, and even have a different/better stack design than MagicalRecord. But they have “transactions” instead of predicates.

Autolayout

• Masonry: High level approach, but deprecated for Objc. The new swift version is known as SnapKit.
• PureLayout: Provide handy APIs to UIView
• Cartography: Declarative style

Unit Testing

• OHHTTPStubs - stub for networking frameworks

Avoid String Identifiers

• Reusable - Avoid cells, xib views, storyboard view controller’s string identifier with this convenient mixin
• SwiftGen - Avoid more strings (eg. localization, assets) by generating code (like Android’s R)
• R.swift - An actual R for Swift

Parsers

• Kanna - Parse XML/HTML, inspired by Nokogiri

Deeplinks

• Appz - provides (as much) external apps deeplink schema as opening them is a breeze
