Question 1

How to customize the login screen in Cely?

Accepted Answer

Create a struct conforming to the CelyStyle protocol to change colors and logos, or use custom storyboards by setting the .loginStoryboard option in Cely.setup(). The README provides code examples for both approaches.

Question 2

Cely vs Firebase Authentication: which is better?

Accepted Answer

Cely is a lightweight Swift framework for iOS that handles UI and storage, but requires manual networking. Firebase Auth is a cloud service with built-in providers and backend support. Choose Cely for full control in Swift apps; Firebase for cross-platform with less code.

Question 3

How to handle token refresh with Cely?

Accepted Answer

Since Cely doesn't manage network requests, you must implement token refresh logic in your networking layer and use Cely.save() to update tokens securely in Keychain. The framework only stores and retrieves data, not refresh flows.

Question 4

Can I use Cely with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Not directly, as Cely is designed for UIKit and storyboards. You'd need to wrap its view controllers in UIHostingController or rebuild the UI in SwiftUI, which negates its rapid setup benefits for pure SwiftUI projects.

Question 5

How to integrate Cely with a REST API?

Accepted Answer

Implement your own API calls in the .loginCompletionBlock option, then use Cely.save() to store tokens. The README shows a pseudo-code example where network responses trigger Cely's storage methods.

Question 6

What happens to user data after logout in Cely?

Accepted Answer

By default, Cely removes all data on logout, but you can mark properties as persisted in your User model to keep them, such as usernames, using the persisted() method in the CelyProperty enum.
