SwiftAsyncSocket Documentation
Welcome to the documentation for SwiftAsyncSocket! This page serves as a comprehensive guide to using and understanding the features provided by SwiftAsyncSocket.
Installation
To get started with SwiftAsyncSocket, follow the steps below:
- Open Terminal
- Navigate to your project directory
- Run the following command:
$ pod init
Next, open the newly created `Podfile` and add the following line:
pod 'CocoaAsyncSocket'
Save the `Podfile` and run the following command:
$ pod install
Usage
To use SwiftAsyncSocket in your project, perform the following steps:
- Import the framework at the top of your Swift file:
import SwiftAsyncSocket
Create an instance of SwiftAsyncSocket by calling its initializer:
let socket = SwiftAsyncSocket(delegate: self)
Implement the delegate methods to handle socket events:
// Delegate method called when the socket successfully connects to a host func socket(_ sock: SwiftAsyncSocket, didConnectTo host: String, port: UInt16) { // Handle successful connection } // Delegate method called when data is received from the socket func socket(_ sock: SwiftAsyncSocket, didRead data: Data, with tag: Int) { // Process received data } // Other delegate methods for error handling, disconnection, and more
Connect to a host using the `connect(…)` method:
try socket.connect(toHost: "example.com", onPort: 80)
Send data using the `write(…)` method:
let data = "Hello, server!".data(using: .utf8)! socket.write(data, withTimeout: -1, tag: 0)
Functionality
SwiftAsyncSocket provides the following functionality:
- Easy and efficient TCP/IP networking
- Asynchronous socket I/O
- IPv4 and IPv6 support
- Background operation support
- TLS and SSL support
- Buffering for reading and writing
- Auto-disconnect and auto-reconnect support
Additional Notes
- Ensure that you have appropriate permissions to access the network when using SwiftAsyncSocket.
- Refer to official documentation for further details on using specific APIs and functionality.
With these instructions, you should be able to successfully integrate SwiftAsyncSocket into your Swift project and utilize its powerful features.
