Nest is a library which makes Foundation and Swift works more seamlessly and offers some great missing helpers, utilities in Foundation.

How to Get Started

Install via Cocoa Pods

• pod "Nest.swift"
• Add import Nest to your Swift source file

Manually Install

• Download or clone the project
• Drag Nest’s Xcode project file to your workspace
• Add Nest to your Emebed Binaries field in your target’s general page if you are building an app. Or add Nest to your Linked Frameworks and Libraries field in your target’s general page if you are building a framework.
• Add import Nest to your Swift source file
• You may need to add dependancies manually in the same way to your project file.
• Enjoy your journey of Nest

NSProtocolInterceptor

Circumstance:

This class comes out of an answer I wrote on Stack Overflow: Intercept Objective-C delegate messages within a subclass. But as the original code was written in Objective-C and Swift's code-level-safety makes it become impossible that assign an object of any type to a pointer, I rewrote it in Swift and added some additional code to make it work in Swift now.

Introduction:

NSProtocolInterceptor is an object which masquerade itself as the protocol type(s) which you assigned at the initialization time, and intercepts message to the middle man if it could respond which originally intended to send to the receiver.

Examples:

Initialization

• NSProtocolInterceptor(aProtocol: Protocol)

• NSProtocolInterceptor(protocols: [Protocol])

• NSProtocolInterceptor(protocols: Protocol ...)

Intercept messages within a subclass

• MyScrollView.swift

class MyScrollView: UIScrollView, UIScrollViewDelegate { let delegateInterceptor: NSProtocolInterceptor func scrollViewDidScroll(scrollView: UIScrollView) { if self.delegate?.respondsToSelector("scrollViewDidScroll:") == true { self.delegate?.scrollViewDidScroll?(scrollView) } } required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) { delegateInterceptor = NSProtocolInterceptor(aProtocol: UIScrollViewDelegate.self) super.init(coder: aDecoder) delegateInterceptor.middleMan = self super.delegate = delegateInterceptor as? UIScrollViewDelegate } override init(frame: CGRect) { delegateInterceptor = NSProtocolInterceptor(aProtocol: UIScrollViewDelegate.self) super.init(frame: frame) delegateInterceptor.middleMan = self super.delegate = delegateInterceptor as? UIScrollViewDelegate } } 

For UIKit bridging header claims UIScrollView's delegate property as unowned(unsafe) and doesn't mark UIScrollViewDelegate up as a class only protocol, we cannot override the delegate property in Swift for now. So let's override it in Objective-C.

• MyScrollView+OverrideDelegate.h

@import UIKit; #import "ProductModuleName-Swift.h" @interface MyScrollView (OverrideDelegate) @end 

• MyScrollView+OverrideDelegate.m

@import Nest; #import "MyScrollView+OverrideDelegate.h" @implementation MyScrollView (OverrideDelegate) - (id <UIScrollViewDelegate>)delegate { return (id <UIScrollViewDelegate>)self.delegateInterceptor.receiver; } - (void)setDelegate:(id <UIScrollViewDelegate>)delegate { super.delegate = nil; self.delegateInterceptor.receiver = delegate; super.delegate = (id <UIScrollViewDelegate>)self.delegateInterceptor; } @end 

NSReuseCenter & NSReusable

Circumstance:

Reusing is an usual way to optimize a program's performance. This class it designed for making reusing simpler.

Introduction:

NSReuseCenter offers an enqueue and dequeue mechanism for objects conform to the NSReusable protocol.

Examples:

Initializations

let theReuseCenter = NSReuseCenter<AParticularReusable>() 

Enqueue an unused object

theReuseCenter.enqueueUnused(anUnusedObject) 

Dequeue a reusable object for a particular reuse identifier

theReuseCenter.dequeueReusableWithReuseIdentifier(aReuseIdentifier) 

Query all reusable objects for a particular reuse identifier

theReuseCenter.reusableForReuseIdentifier(aReuseIdentifier) 

Collection Functions

Circumstance:

There might be a situation you had encountered before where you wanted to find an NSObjectProtocol conformed object in a protocol-constrained collection and Swift didn't suppose your NSObjectProtocol conformed object implements the Equatable protocol which made you unable to use the find function in Swift standard library. These collection of functions assume that any NSObjectProtocol conformed object has a clear understand on isEqual: function and use that function to evaluate equality between objects.

Functions:

• Check an NSObjectProtocol conformed object is contained in a collection of NSObjectProtocol conformed objects.

  NSContains<C where C: CollectionType, C.Generator.Element: NSObjectProtocol>(domain: C, element: C.Generator.Element) -> Bool

• Find the index of an NSObjectProtocol conformed object in a collection of NSObjectProtocol conformed objects.

  NSFind<C : CollectionType where C.Generator.Element: NSObjectProtocol>(domain: C, value: C.Generator.Element) -> C.Index?

• Calculate intersected objects in two collections of NSObjectProtocol conformed objects.

  NSIntersected<C : ExtensibleCollectionType where C.Generator.Element : NSObjectProtocol>(collectionA: C, collectionB: C) -> C

• Evaluate differences between two collections of NSObjectProtocol conformed objects.

  NSDiff<Seq: SequenceType where Seq.Generator.Element: NSObjectProtocol>(from fromSequence: Seq?, to toSequence: Seq?, differences: SequenceDifference, unchangedComparator: ((Seq.Generator.Element, Seq.Generator.Element)->Bool) = default, usingClosure changesHandler: (change: SequenceDifference, fromElement: (index: Int, element: Seq.Generator.Element)?, toElement: (index: Int, element: Seq.Generator.Element)?) -> Void)

• Remove an NSObjectProtocol conformed object in a collection of NSObjectProtocol conformed objects.

  NSRemove<C : RangeReplaceableCollectionType where C.Generator.Element : NSObjectProtocol, C.Index: protocol<Comparable, BidirectionalIndexType>> (inout collection: C, elements: C) -> C

Runtime Functions

Functions:

• Check if selector belongs to a protocol.

  sel_belongsToProtocol(aSelector: Selector, aProtocol: Protocol) -> Bool

• Swizzle a selector with an implementation on a class. The original implementation would be connected with a selector which consists of the given prefix and its original selector.

  class_swizzleClass(aClass: AnyClass, selector: Selector, withImplementation: IMP, selectorPrefix: String) -> Bool

Conformity of NSDate to Comparable

Circumstance:

I made NSDate conforms to Comparable to get avoid of comparing two NSDate objects by using its compare: function.

Example:

let now = NSDate() let tenSecondsBefore = now.dateByAddingTimeInterval(-10) if now > tenSecondsBefore { println("Now is later than ten seconds before") } 

Search All Occurrence for Given String in NSString

Circumstance:

Search all occurrence for given string in an NSString without using regular expression.

Example:

Search string in the whole string with the current locale

let aString = "This is a string" let aStringInNSString = aString as NSString let occurrences = aStringInNSString.rangesOfString("s", options: NSStringCompareOptions.CaseInsensitiveSearch, range: nil, locale: nil) 

NSRangeMake

Example:

let anNSRange = NSRangeMake(location: 0, length: 10) 

NSError Initialization Conveniences for Using CoreData

Example:

Combine two errors

let anError = NSError(error: anError, anotherError: anOtherError) 

Combine an error in a pointer with another error

let anError = NSError(errorPointer:anErrorPointer, secondError: secondError) 

Combine an array of errors

let anError = NSError(errors: errors)
