A collection of useful extensions for Swift's standard library, Foundation, and UIKit to simplify common tasks.
EZSwiftExtensions is a Swift library that adds missing functionality and convenience methods to Swift's standard library, Foundation, and UIKit. It solves the problem of repetitive boilerplate code by providing extensions for common tasks like safe array access, type conversions, and simplified UI component creation.
iOS and macOS developers using Swift who want to reduce boilerplate code and work with more intuitive APIs for everyday tasks.
Developers choose EZSwiftExtensions because it offers a curated collection of practical extensions that make Swift development faster and less error-prone, with a focus on simplicity and filling gaps in Apple's native frameworks.
:smirk: How Swift standard types and classes were supposed to work.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Adds methods like .get(index) for safe element retrieval and .random() for picking elements, preventing out-of-bounds errors as demonstrated in the README examples with array indexing.
Provides .to methods (e.g., .toString, .toInt) for easy conversion between standard types like Int and CGFloat, reducing verbose casting code in everyday Swift development.
Includes BlockButton and gesture recognizers with closure handlers, streamlining event-driven UI code without the complexity of selector-based callbacks, as shown in the BlockButton initialization examples.
Global ez helper offers quick access to app version, build number, and screenshot detection via properties like ez.appVersion, simplifying common app-level tasks.
The library is built for UIKit and Foundation, with no mention of SwiftUI support in the README, making it irrelevant for modern iOS projects adopting Apple's newer framework.
Sourced from various open-code snippets (e.g., ExSwift, CEMKit-Swift), which may lead to inconsistent API design and potential maintenance challenges, as admitted in the 'Sources Used' section.
As a broad collection of extensions, importing the library might include unused code, increasing binary size for projects that only need a subset of features, with no modular import options specified.
