Question 1

How do I install DCKit using CocoaPods?

Accepted Answer

Add the appropriate pod record to your Podfile based on your Swift version, such as 'pod "DCKit"' for Swift 4.2+, include 'use_frameworks!', and run 'pod install'. Check the README for version-specific instructions.

Question 2

Is DCKit still maintained in 2024?

Accepted Answer

No, the author has explicitly stated that the library is not maintained anymore since they switched to Flutter. This means no updates, bug fixes, or community support, so use with caution.

Question 3

How can I customize a button with DCKit in Interface Builder?

Accepted Answer

Drag a UIButton onto your storyboard, change its class to DCBorderedButton, set the module to DCKit if using CocoaPods, then use the Attributes Inspector to adjust properties like border color and width visually.

Question 4

Does DCKit work with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

No, DCKit is designed for UIKit and Interface Builder with @IBDesignable attributes. It does not support SwiftUI's declarative syntax, so it's incompatible with modern SwiftUI-based projects.

Question 5

What are some good alternatives to DCKit?

Accepted Answer

Consider libraries like Material Components for iOS or SnapKit for more active maintenance and broader features. For SwiftUI, look into SwiftUI-native packages, as DCKit is UIKit-focused and unmaintained.

Question 6

How does DCMandatoryEmailTextField validate emails?

Accepted Answer

It uses a regex pattern taken from Stack Overflow to check if entered text is a valid email address. You can override the isValid method for custom validation, but documentation is minimal.
