Coding convention

set of guidelines for a specific programming language that recommend programming style

Swift Style Guide

Swift Lint

The way of force you to adapt coding convention

otherwise project build will FAILED

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

Check this website for design pattern in Swift

Delegation

weak var delegate: SomeProtocol?

Singleton

class SingletonPattern {
    static let manager = SingletonPattern()
    
    private init() {}
}

Observer

Observer is a behavioral design pattern that allows some objects to notify other objects about changes in their state.

  • Observer - An object that wishes to be notified when the state of another object changes.
  • Subject (Observable) - An object that maintains a list of observers, and inform them of state changes usually by calling one of their methods. An observable slightly differs in this in that it is just a function that sets up an observation.
  • Subscribe - An observer lets a subject know that it wants to be informed of changes through a process called subscribing.

Check following sites

TBD

KVO

For more info, go Apple Developer Site

KVC

KVO vs KVC

Code Structuring(Architecture)

MVC

MVC pattern stands for Model - View - Controller

  • Model - Model take care of storing data.
  • View - View renders the data for users
  • Controller - Controller modifies the View, accepts user input and interacts directly with the Model. And take care of view logic and business logic.

MVVM

MVVM patterns stand for Model - View - ViewModel

MVC vs MVVM
  • Model Which holds the application data

  • View It displays the data that is stored in model. These are visual elements through which a user interacts. These are subclasses of UIView

  • View Model Transform model information/data and it interacts with controller or view to display those informations.

  • Controller class It will be there but the responsibility of view business logic has been removed and give to view model

You can check App example of using MVVM here

VIPER

  • View - Displays what it is told to by the Presenter and relays user input back to the Presenter.
  • Interactor - Contains the business logic as specified by a use case.
  • Presenter - contains view logic for preparing content for display (as received from the Interactor) and for reacting to user inputs (by requesting new data from the Interactor).
  • Entity - contains basic model objects used by the Interactor.
  • Routing - contains navigation logic for describing which screens are shown in which order.

Helper

All files are resuable files and protocol oriented. Just Copy and Paste inside your project and use it!! 👍

These helper files are not with Error Handling! careful at use

Email, Message, Call

You can check the file in the follow link

Usage

import MessageUI first

import MessageUI

Then use it

Don't forget to extend the mail, message delegate to your ViewController!

    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

Network Layer

Usage

First, set the base URL in EndPointType file

Don't forget to put your API key in it!

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

private let router = Router<YourAPI>()

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!

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

router.request(.first(country: London)) { [weak self] (results: Result<CountryWeather, AppError>) 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

If you want to see how can I use Network Layer in Project, check this

This reusable network layer files for referenced from here

Also Alamofire will be a great option for Network Layer!

Image Picker

Usage

Copy and Paste in your project and then declare Image Picker object inside your project

lazy var imagePicker = ImagePicker(presentationController: self, delegate: self)

Then, extend ImagePickerDelegate to your viewController

extension ViewController: ImagePickerDelegate {
    func didSelect(image: UIImage?) {
        self.yourImageView.image = image
        self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

Good To GO 👏👏👏

See Example here

File Manager

Usage

Copy and Paste in your project

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

Usage

Make an object of VideoManager inside your code

let videoManager = VideoManager()

use downloadVideoLinkAndCreateAsset function to start download with entering URL

self.videoManager.downloadVideoLinkAndCreateAsset(text)

Good To GO 👏👏👏

Image Downloader

There is no file for Image Downloader.

To download images into device, only thing is this

if let data = try? Data(contentsOf: urls),
   let image = UIImage(data: data) {
   UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, nil, nil, nil)
}

Just change urls into your image URL

UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum will take care it to download to device.

For more info go here

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.

Various API Site

JSON

JSON is a language-independent data format

Which is relative with KEY - VALUE pair

{
    "main": [
        {
            "title": "example1",
            "body": "body1"
        },
        {
            "title": "example2",
            "body: "body2"
        }
    ]
}

JSON parser extension for Chrome

This extension makes JSON more structable JSON parser pro FREE 👍

JSONDecoder

To use JSONDecoder in swift, you have to define the model to be Codable or Decodable

public typealias Codable = Decodable & Encodable

Decodable can only decode the json data. Can't encoded json file!!

struct User: Codable {
    var firstName: String
    var lastName: String
    var country: String
    
    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case firstName = "first_name"
        case lastName = "last_name"
        case country
    }
}

To avoid snake_case in swift, use CodingKeys or JSONDecoder.KeyDecodingStrategy

To use JSONDecoding, declare JSONDecoder and use decode() function

 do {
    let data = try JSONDecoder().decode(T.self, from: unwrappedData)
    completionOnMain(.success(data))
} catch {
    print(error)
    completionOnMain(.failure(.parseError))
}

T.self -> Model(Struct) of the data that you want to decode

data will decoded to form of T

unwrappedData -> Input actual data from file or server

This should be a Data Type!!

JSONSerialization

JSONSerialization is a old way of decode the JSON file.

Apple populated Codable since Swift 4

Example

Example of number.json data

{
    "number": [
        {
            "name": "Dennis",
            "number": "111-222-3333"
        },
        {
            "name": "Jenny",
            "number": "444-555-6666"
        },
        {
            "name": "Ben",
            "number": "777-888-9999"
        }
    ]
}

Here is a example of JSONSerialization with actaul JSON file in project folder

Otherwise you can use URL!

    private func populateDataFromJson() {
        
        if let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "NumberData", ofType: "json") {
            do {
                let dataJson = try Data(contentsOf: URL(fileURLWithPath: path))
                let jsonDict = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: dataJson, options: .mutableContainers)
                if let jsonResults = jsonDict as? [String: Any],
                   let results = jsonResults["number"] as? [[String: Any]] {
                    results.forEach { dict in
                        // simply appended to list(array)
                        self.phoneNumberList.append(PhoneNumber(name: dict["name"] as? String ?? "", number: (dict["number"] as? String ?? "")))
                        self.phoneNumberListClone.append(PhoneNumber(name: dict["name"] as? String ?? "", number: (dict["number"] as? String ?? "")))
                    }
                }
            } catch {
                print(error.localizedDescription)
            }
        }
    }

.mutableContainers allows to working like a array and dictionary type

JSON Parser Library

This library provide JSON parsing

Notification Center

UserDefaults

The UserDefaults class provides a programmatic interface for interacting with the defaults system. Check Apple Document for more info

UserDefaults has to have key-value pair

When do we use UserDafaults

  • User information, like name, email address, age, occupation
  • App settings, like user interface language, app color theme or “detailed vs. simple UI”
  • Flags, more on this later
  • If store data is small

How to find documentDirectory

Put this line of code inside of your project

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        print(NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true).last ?? "")
        return true
    }

simply move into that path and you can find the documentDirectory of your Application

if Library is not shown up, just do Shift + Command + . to show hidden files in your folder

Usage

As you can see in the below, intArray will stored inside the device through UserDefaults(), so that if device is shut down, changed value wil be stored in device.

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    var intArray = [1,2,3,4,5]
    let defaults = UserDefaults()
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        intArray = defaults.array(forKey: "IntArray") as! [Int]
    }
    
    @IBOutlet weak var textField: UILabel!
    @IBAction private func isClicked(_ sender: UIButton) {
        intArray.append(6)
        defaults.set(intArray, forKey: "IntArray")
        textField.text = "\(intArray)"
    }
}

You can your plist file like this!

Declare Userdefault like this!

let defaults = UserDefaults.standard

standard allows to access from anywhere inside device

With using set function, you can set userdefaults

Also these function will allow to get a data from plist

Core Data

Use Core Data to save your applications permanent data for offline use, to cache temporary data, and to add undo functionality to your app on a single device.

Core Data in Swift is using SQLite as DEFAULT

Image From London App Brewery

Set Up Core Data

Simply Click Core Data check box when you create a new project

If you want to attach Core Data in exsiting project

Create Data Model file first

Then import CoreData inside your AppDelegate.swift file

import CoreData

And Copy and Paste this lines of code inside your AppDelegate.swift file

    // MARK: - Core Data stack

    lazy var persistentContainer: NSPersistentContainer = {
        /*
         The persistent container for the application. This implementation
         creates and returns a container, having loaded the store for the
         application to it. This property is optional since there are legitimate
         error conditions that could cause the creation of the store to fail.
        */
        let container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "Your DataModel file name")
        container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (storeDescription, error) in
            if let error = error as NSError? {
                // Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
                // fatalError() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
                 
                /*
                 Typical reasons for an error here include:
                 * The parent directory does not exist, cannot be created, or disallows writing.
                 * The persistent store is not accessible, due to permissions or data protection when the device is locked.
                 * The device is out of space.
                 * The store could not be migrated to the current model version.
                 Check the error message to determine what the actual problem was.
                 */
                fatalError("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
            }
        })
        return container
    }()

    // MARK: - Core Data Saving support

    func saveContext () {
        let context = persistentContainer.viewContext
        if context.hasChanges {
            do {
                try context.save()
            } catch {
                // Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
                // fatalError() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
                let nserror = error as NSError
                fatalError("Unresolved error \(nserror), \(nserror.userInfo)")
            }
        }
    }

Don't forget to change it

let container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "Your DataModel file name")

And goto SceneDelegate.swift file, copy below lines of code and replace yours

func sceneDidEnterBackground(_ scene: UIScene) {
        // Called as the scene transitions from the foreground to the background.
        // Use this method to save data, release shared resources, and store enough scene-specific state information
        // to restore the scene back to its current state.

        // Save changes in the application's managed object context when the application transitions to the background.
        (UIApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate)?.saveContext()
    }

If your target is below iOS13, put this line of code in side your applicationWillTerminate of AppDelegate.swift file

self.saveContext()

Core Data Usage

Once you create your DataModel file, you can simply create a Entity(Class) and Attributes(Properties)

And then, change the type of attributes in inspector like this

Once you create your own Entities & Attributes, go to Inspector and change Module to CurrentProductModule

If you didn't set it, thats fine, but if you are working in big project, then you need to set it. Otherwise this can occurs some error.

Codegen

As you can see in above, there are three options

  • Manual/None - Swift didn't generate CoreDataClass, CoreDataProperties files so that you have to create yourself (full control)
  • Class Definition - Swift will generate CoreDataClass, CoreDataProperties files. (No control)
  • Category/Extension - Swift will generate only Extension file (Some Control)

CoreDataClass, CoreDataProperties are located in below

/Users/dennis/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/CoreDataUserDefaultPractice-hisefjfyuvglrjekndpftwazftug/Build/Intermediates.noindex/CoreDataUserDefaultPractice.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/CoreDataUserDefaultPractice.build/DerivedSources/CoreDataGenerated/CoreDataUserDefaultPractice

And CoreDataClass, CoreDataProperties are looking like this,

If your code can run it but didn't get your Entities, Rebuild it or Restart your Xcode

Store Data

Declare context as a global variable

let context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext

Get viewContext that we defined in AppDelegate.swift file

Simply you can use this code to save your data to CoreData

func saveItem() {
        do {
            try context.save()
        } catch {
            print("Error Saving Context: \(error.localizedDescription)")
        }
    }

Use it wherever you want

Data can be find if you print the path

print(FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask))

You can check Entities, Properties inside that file

Load Data

Refer this code and apply it to your code wherever you want to reload it

    func loadItem() {
        let request: NSFetchRequest<Item> = Item.fetchRequest()
        do {
            itemArray = try context.fetch(request)
        } catch {
            print("Load Item Error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
        }
    }

Item will be your Entity, itemArray will be your Entity object Don't forget to import CoreData

Update Data

Simply use setValue function so that you can update your value in DB

itemArray[0].setValue(<#T##value: Any?##Any?#>, forKey: <#T##String#>)

if you are using TableView or CollectionView, change 0 to indexPath.row

Delete Data

Simply use delete function in context

context.delete(itemArray[0])

change number for dynamic!
