SDGCornerstone

SDGCornerstone forms the foundation of the SDG module family; it establishes design patterns and provides general‐use extensions to the Swift Standard Library and Foundation.

הִנְנִי יִסַּד בְּצִיּוֹן אָבֶן אֶבֶן בֹּחַן פִּנַּת יִקְרַת מוּסָד מוּסָד׃

Behold, I establish in Zion a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation.

―⁧יהוה⁩/Yehova

Features:

• Localization tools compatible with the Swift Package Manager and Linux. (SDGLocalization)
• User preferences compatible with Linux. (PreferenceSet, Preference)
• Platform‐independent access to best‐practice file system locations. (url(for:in:at:))
• Shared instances of value types. (Shared<Value>)
• Generic pattern matching. (SearchableCollection, Pattern<Element>)
• Customizable randomization. (SDGRandomization)
• Arbitrary‐precision arithmetic. (SDGPrecisionMathematics)
• A simple API for running shell commands on desktop platforms. (SDGExternalProcess)

…and much more.

Example Usage

// ••••••• Localization •••••••

enum ApplicationLocalization: String, Localization {
  case english = "en"
  case français = "fr"
  static let fallbackLocalization = ApplicationLocalization.english
}

// Define
let text = UserFacing<StrictString, ApplicationLocalization>({ localization in
  switch localization {
  case .english:
    return "Hello, world!"
  case .français:
    return "Bonjour, le monde !"
  }
})

// Use
XCTAssertEqual(
  text.resolved(),
  "Hello, world!"
)

// ••••••• Preferences •••••••

let preferences = PreferenceSet.applicationPreferences

// Save
preferences["name"].value.set(to: "John Doe")
// Load
let loaded: String? = preferences["name"].value.as(String.self)

XCTAssertEqual(
  loaded,
  "John Doe"
)

// ••••••• File System •••••••

let url = FileManager.default.url(in: .applicationSupport, at: "folder/file.txt")
do {
  // Save
  try "Contents".save(to: url)
  // Load
  let loaded = try String(from: url)

  XCTAssertEqual(
    loaded,
    "Contents"
  )
} catch {
  XCTFail(error.localizedDescription)
}

// ••••••• Shared Values •••••••

class Owner {
  @SharedProperty var property: String = ""
}

let originalOwner = Owner()
originalOwner.property = "original"
let anotherOwner = Owner()
anotherOwner.$property = originalOwner.$property

anotherOwner.property = "changed"
XCTAssertEqual(
  originalOwner.property,
  "changed"
)

// ••••••• Pattern Matching •••••••

let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
let patternFirstPart =
  [1]  // 1
  + ConditionalPattern({ $0.isEven })  // 2
  + ([30, 40]  // (∅)
    ∨ [3, 4])  // 3, 4
let pattern =
  patternFirstPart
  + RepetitionPattern(¬[5, 7])  // 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (...)
  + [10]  // 10

XCTAssertEqual(
  numbers.firstMatch(for: pattern)?.range,
  numbers.startIndex..<numbers.endIndex
)

// ••••••• Arbitrary Precision Arithmetic •••••••

let tenDuotrigintillion: WholeNumber =
  "10 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000"
XCTAssert(tenDuotrigintillion.isDivisible(by: 10))

// ••••••• Shell Commands •••••••

#if !PLATFORM_LACKS_FOUNDATION_PROCESS
  XCTAssertEqual(
    try? Shell.default.run(command: ["echo", "Hello, world!"]).get().suffix(13),
    "Hello, world!"
  )
#endif

Some platforms lack certain features. The compilation conditions which appear throughout the documentation are defined as follows:

.define("PLATFORM_HAS_COCOA", .when(platforms: [.macOS, .tvOS, .iOS, .watchOS])),
.define("PLATFORM_LACKS_FOUNDATION_FILE_MANAGER", .when(platforms: [.wasi])),
.define(
  "PLATFORM_LACKS_FOUNDATION_PROCESS",
  .when(platforms: [.wasi, .tvOS, .iOS, .watchOS])
),
.define("PLATFORM_LACKS_FOUNDATION_RUN_LOOP", .when(platforms: [.wasi])),
.define("PLATFORM_LACKS_FOUNDATION_USER_DEFAULTS", .when(platforms: [.wasi])),
.define("PLATFORM_LACKS_FOUNDATION_PROPERTY_LIST_ENCODER", .when(platforms: [.wasi])),
.define("PLATFORM_LACKS_FOUNDATION_XML", .when(platforms: [.wasi, .android])),
.define(
  "PLATFORM_LACKS_FOUNDATION_XML_XML_DOCUMENT",
  .when(platforms: [.wasi, .tvOS, .iOS, .android, .watchOS])
),
.define("PLATFORM_LACKS_SWIFT_FLOAT_16", .when(platforms: [.macOS])),
.define(
  "PLATFORM_LACKS_SWIFT_FLOAT_80",
  .when(platforms: [.windows, .wasi, .tvOS, .iOS, .android, .watchOS])

Importing

SDGCornerstone provides libraries for use with the Swift Package Manager.

Simply add SDGCornerstone as a dependency in Package.swift and specify which of the libraries to use:

let package = Package(
  name: "MyPackage",
  dependencies: [
    .package(
      name: "SDGCornerstone",
      url: "https://github.com/SDGGiesbrecht/SDGCornerstone",
      from: Version(10, 1, 3)
    ),
  ],
  targets: [
    .target(
      name: "MyTarget",
      dependencies: [
        .product(name: "SDGControlFlow", package: "SDGCornerstone"),
        .product(name: "SDGLogic", package: "SDGCornerstone"),
        .product(name: "SDGLogicTestUtilities", package: "SDGCornerstone"),
        .product(name: "SDGMathematics", package: "SDGCornerstone"),

        .product(name: "SDGRandomization", package: "SDGCornerstone"),
        .product(name: "SDGRandomizationTestUtilities", package: "SDGCornerstone"),
        .product(name: "SDGLocalization", package: "SDGCornerstone"),
        .product(name: "SDGLocalizationTestUtilities", package: "SDGCornerstone"),
        .product(name: "SDGGeometry", package: "SDGCornerstone"),
        .product(name: "SDGGeometryTestUtilities", package: "SDGCornerstone"),
        .product(name: "SDGCalendar", package: "SDGCornerstone"),
        .product(name: "SDGPrecisionMathematics", package: "SDGCornerstone"),
        .product(name: "SDGConcurrency", package: "SDGCornerstone"),

        .product(name: "SDGXCTestUtilities", package: "SDGCornerstone"),
      ]
    )
  ]
)
