CocoaDocs is a comprehensive documentation website for iOS and macOS libraries, frameworks, and tools. In this article, we will focus on the CollectionUtils library, which provides a set of useful utility functions for working with collections in Swift.

Installation

To install the CollectionUtils library, you can use CocoaPods or Swift Package Manager.

CocoaPods

To integrate CollectionUtils into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, add it to your Podfile:

target 'YourProject' do
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'CollectionUtils'
end

Then, run the following command:

pod install

Swift Package Manager

To use CollectionUtils with Swift Package Manager, add it as a dependency in your Package.swift file:

let package = Package(
    // ...
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/username/CollectionUtils.git", from: "1.0.0"),
    ],
    // ...
)

Then, run swift build to build your project.

Usage

CollectionUtils provides several utility functions for working with arrays, dictionaries, and sets.

Array Extensions

The CollectionUtils library adds the following utility functions to arrays:

  • chunked(by:): Splits an array into smaller arrays of a given size.
  • take(_:): Returns the first n elements from the array.
  • drop(_:): Returns a new array by removing the first n elements.
  • shuffle(): Returns the array with its elements shuffled in a random order.

Dictionary Extensions

The CollectionUtils library adds the following utility functions to dictionaries:

  • hasKeys(_:): Returns true if the dictionary contains all the specified keys.
  • filterKeys(by:): Returns a dictionary containing only the key-value pairs that satisfy the given predicate.

Set Extensions

The CollectionUtils library adds the following utility functions to sets:

  • union(_:): Returns a new set that is the union of the set and the given sequence.
  • intersection(_:): Returns a new set that contains only the elements that are common to both the set and the given sequence.
