## Coding convention
set of guidelines for a specific programming language that recommend programming style
### Swift Style Guide
- [Swift Style Guide](https://github.com/linkedin/swift-style-guide)
### Swift Lint
The way of force you to adapt coding convention
>otherwise project build will **FAILED**
- [Swift Lint](https://github.com/realm/SwiftLint) apply for all project:+1:
```swift
if which swiftlint >/dev/null; then
swiftlint
else
echo "error: SwiftLint not installed, download from https://github.com/realm/SwiftLint"
exit 1
fi
```
put .yml file into root folder and apply following code in Build Phases
**You can modify(delete) SwiftLint Option with opening .yml file**
> Shift + Command + . will show the hidden file
## Design Pattern
Design pattern is
Check [this](https://refactoring.guru/design-patterns/swift) website for design pattern in Swift
### Delegate Pattern
```swift
weak var delegate: SomeProtocol?
```
### Singleton Pattern
```swift
class SingletonPattern {
static let manager = SingletonPattern()
private init() {}
}
```
### Observer Pattern
The observer pattern lets one object observe changes on another object. Apple added language-level support for this pattern in Swift 5.1 with the addition of Publisher in the Combine framework.
## Code Structuring
### MVC
### MVVM
##### MVC vs MVVM
M -> Model – Which holds the application data
V –> View – It displays the data that is stored in model. These are visual elements through which a user interacts. These are subclasses of UIView
VM –> View Model – Transform model information/data and it interacts with controller or view to display those informations.
C –> Controller class – It will be there but the responsibility of view business logic has been removed and give to view model
### VIPER
## UIDesign
### HIG(Human Interface Guidelines)
- [Apple UI Kit](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit)
- [iOS Design Guide](https://ivomynttinen.com/blog/ios-design-guidelines)
### iOS icon
- [icon8](https://icons8.com/) You can download icons imge for your **APP**
- [appicon](https://appicon.co/) generate the app icon size
### UIdesign inspiration
- [dribble](https://dribbble.com/)

## Helper
All files are resuable files and protocol oriented. **Just Copy and Paste inside your project and use it!!** 👍
## Email, Message, Call
You can check the file in the follow link
- [Email, Message, Call](https://github.com/jphong1111/Useful_Swift/blob/main/Helper/ConversationManager.swift)
### Usage
import MesaageUI first
```swift
import MessageUI
```
Then use it
> Don't forget to extend the mail, message delegate to your ViewController!
```swift
lazy var conversation = ConversationManager(presentingController: self, mailDelegate: self, messageDelegate: self, viewController: self)
@IBAction private func sendEmail(_ sender: UIButton) {
conversation.sendEmail(feedback: MailFeedback(recipients: ["abcd@google.com"], subject: "FeedBack", body: "Write feedback here"))
}
@IBAction private func sendMessage(_ sender: UIButton) {
conversation.sendMessage(feedback: MessageFeedBack(recipients: ["1111111111"], body: "Type here"))
}
@IBAction private func startCall(_ sender: UIButton) {
conversation.makeCall(number: "1111111111")
}
```
Good To GO 👏👏👏
> See Example [here](https://github.com/jphong1111/ImageMessageHandler_DemoApp)
## Network Layer
- [Network Layer](https://github.com/jphong1111/Useful_Swift/tree/main/Helper/Network%20Layer)
### Usage
First, set the base URL in **EndPointType file**
> Don't forget to put your API key in it!
```swift
var baseURL: URL {
guard let url = URL(string: "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/") else {
fatalError("baseURL could not be configured.")
}
return url
}
```
then make a instance of router.swift file in your code
```swift
private let router = Router()
```
for **YourAPI part**, simply create a new **enum** with cases about specific api URL
> It will make your router more dynamic!
> Don't forget extension to EndPointType!
```swift
enum YourAPI {
case first(country: String)
case second(time: Int)
case third(name: String)
}
extension YourAPI: EndPointType {
var path: String {
switch self {
case .first(let country):
return "\(country).json"
case .second(let time):
return "\(time).json"
case .third(let name):
return "\(name).json"
}
}
}
```
then, use it like this
```swift
router.request(.first(country: London)) { [weak self] (results: Result) in
guard let self = self else { return }
switch results {
case .success(let data):
// insert your modifications!
case .failure(let error):
// insert your modifications!
print(error)
}
}
```
> **CountryWeather should be a model with Decodable**

## Image Picker
- [Image Picker](https://github.com/jphong1111/Useful_Swift/blob/main/Helper/ImagePickerHandler/ImagePicker.swift)
### Usage
Copy and Paste in your project and then declare Image Picker object inside your project
```swift
lazy var imagePicker = ImagePicker(presentationController: self, delegate: self)
```
Then, extend ImagePickerDelegate to your viewController
```swift
extension ViewController: ImagePickerDelegate {
func didSelect(image: UIImage?) {
self.yourImageView.image = image
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
```

## File Manager
- [File Manager](https://github.com/jphong1111/Useful_Swift/blob/main/Helper/FileManageHelper.swift)
### Usage
Copy and Paste in your project
```swift
let readData = FileManageHelper.manager.readFile(filename: fileNameTextField.text ?? "", type: extensionTextField.text ?? "")
resultTextField.text = readData
```
> File Manager are wrote with singleton pattern, therefore no need to declare in side your code!
Good To GO 👏👏👏
## Video Downloader
- [Video Downloader](https://github.com/jphong1111/Useful_Swift/blob/main/Helper/VideoManager.swift)
## Usage
Make an object of VideoManager inside your code
```swift
let videoManager = VideoManager()
```
use downloadVideoLinkAndCreateAsset function to start download with entering URL
```swift
self.videoManager.downloadVideoLinkAndCreateAsset(text)
```
Good To GO 👏👏👏
## Location Manager
- [Location Manager](https://github.com/jphong1111/Useful_Swift/tree/main/Helper/LocationHandler/LocationManager.swift)
## API
API(Application Programming Interface) is an interface that defines interactions between multiple software applications or mixed hardware-software intermediaries. It defines the kinds of calls or requests that can be made, how to make them, the data formats that should be used, the conventions to follow, etc.
## JSON
JSON is a language-independent data format
> Which is relative with **KEY - VALUE** pair
```json
{
"main": [
{
"title": "example1",
"body": "body1"
},
{
"title": "example2",
"body: "body2"
}
]
}
```
### JSON parser extension for Chrome
This extension makes JSON more structable
[JSON parser pro](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/json-viewer-pro/eifflpmocdbdmepbjaopkkhbfmdgijcc) **FREE** :+1:
### JSON Decoding
To use JSON Decoding in swift, you have to define the model to be Codable or Decodable
```swift
public typealias Codable = Decodable & Encodable
```
> Decodable can only decode the json data. Can't encoded json file!!
```swift
struct User: Codable {
var first_name: String
var last_name: String
var country: String
}
```
### JSONSerialization
### Various API Site
- [rapidAPI](https://www.rapidapi.com)
## GCD
GCD(Grand Central Dispatch) is a low-level API for managing concurrent operations. It can help you improve your app’s responsiveness by deferring computationally expensive tasks to the background.
### DispatchQueue
An object that manages the execution of tasks serially or concurrently on your app's main thread or on a background thread.
#### main
We can say main is a serial queue
#### global()
We can say global is a concurrent queue
### DispatchGroup
### DispatchWorkItem
### Thread Sanitizer
Thread Sanitizer is a tool to identifies the potential thread-related corruption issues. And it is a good way to find the [Readers and Writers problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readers%E2%80%93writers_problem) in your application.
#### How to Use Address Sanitizer

And then go to **RUN** and check **THREAD SANITIZER** 👈
## Third Party Library
[This github](https://github.com/vsouza/awesome-ios) contains all the popular libraries in Swift:+1:
## Useful Stuff

func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UIView {
return UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: Bundle.main).instantiateInitialViewController()!.view
}
func updateUIView(_ view: UIView, context: Context) {
}
}
@available(iOS 13.0, *)
struct SwiftLeeViewController_Preview: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
SwiftLeeViewRepresentable()
}
}
#endif
```
Enable canvas option like this
