Description
AwaitKit is a lightweight Swift framework that simplifies working with asynchronous code by providing a set of powerful tools. Whether you are using plain callbacks, promises, or futures, AwaitKit helps you write clean and readable code.
- Simplifies handling asynchronous code in Swift
- Supports various ways of handling async code, such as callbacks, promises, and futures
- Helps write clean and readable code
- Lightweight and easy to integrate into existing projects
- Features intuitive APIs for chaining and composing async operations
Installation
To install AwaitKit, follow these steps:
- Open your project in Xcode
- Go to “File” > “Swift Packages” > “Add Package Dependency”
- In the “Choose Package Repository” dialog, enter the repository URL: https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxSwift
- Select the version or branch you want to use
- Click “Next” and wait for Xcode to resolve dependencies
- After the package is resolved, click “Finish” to add AwaitKit to your project
Usage
Using AwaitKit in your project is straightforward. Follow these steps:
- Import AwaitKit into your Swift file:
import AwaitKit
- Write asynchronous tasks using your preferred method, such as callbacks or promises
- Use AwaitKit APIs to handle the async code, such as
await()
orasync { }
- Submit your async tasks to the AwaitKit framework for execution and await the results
Examples
Here are a few examples to demonstrate the usage of AwaitKit:
import AwaitKit
func fetchRemoteData() async throws -> Data {
// Simulating an asynchronous network call
try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 2 * NSEC_PER_SEC)
return Data()
}
do {
let data = try await fetchRemoteData()
print("Data received: \(data)")
} catch {
print("Error: \(error)")
}
Compatibility
AwaitKit is compatible with projects targeting iOS 10.0 or later, macOS 10.12 or later, watchOS 3.0 or later, and tvOS 10.0 or later.
