SwifterSwift is a collection of over 500 native Swift 3 extensions, with handy methods, syntactic sugar, and performance improvements for wide range of primitive data types, UIKit and Cocoa classes –over 500 in 1– for iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS.
v1.6.4 brings new extensions, improved tests and minor bug fixes
- iOS 8.0+ / tvOS 9.0+ / watchOS 3+ / macOS 10.10+
- Xcode 8.1+
- Swift 3.0+
CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:
$ gem install cocoapodsTo integrate SwifterSwift into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!
target '<Your Target Name>' do
pod 'SwifterSwift'
endThen, run the following command:
$ pod installCarthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.
You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:
$ brew update
$ brew install carthageTo integrate SwifterSwift into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:
github "SwifterSwift/SwifterSwift" ~> 1.5
Run carthage update to build the framework and drag the built SwifterSwift.framework into your Xcode project.
You can use The Swift Package Manager to install SwifterSwift by adding the proper description to your Package.swift file:
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "YOUR_PROJECT_NAME",
targets: [],
dependencies: [
.Package(url: "https://github.com/SwifterSwift/SwifterSwift.git", majorVersion: 1),
]
)Note that the Swift Package Manager is still in early design and development, for more information checkout its GitHub Page
Add the extensions folder to your Xcode project to use all extensions, or a specific extension.

SwifterSwift is a library of over 500 properties and methods, designed to extend Swift's functionality and productivity, staying faithful to the original API design guidelines of Swift 3.
Here are some examples:
// Remove duplicates from an array
[1, 2, 3, 1, 3].removeDuplicates() -> [1, 2, 3]
// Return all indexes of specified item
["h", "e", "l", "l", "o"].indexes(of: "l") -> [2, 3]
// Shuffle an array
["h", "e", "l", "l", "o"].shuffled = ["e", "l", "o", "l", "h"]
// Return random item from an array
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].randomItem -> 3
// and many others!// Get and set components from date with ease
date.hour = 14
// Check if date is in today
Date().isInToday -> true
// Add 1 month to current date
Date().add(.month, value: 1)
// Return date at the beginning of current day
Date().beginning(of: .day)

Date().end(of: .month)
// Check if date is in current calendar unit
Date().isInCurrent(.month) -> true
// Return iso8601 string for date

// Create date from DateComponents
let date = Date(year: 2016, month: 8, day: 15) // other components set to current
let date = Date(hour: 9, minute: 18, second: 1) // other components set to current
// Represent date as a string with ease
Date().dateString(ofStyle: .medium) -> "Aug 26, 2016"

// and many others!// Return count of substring in string
"hello world".count(of "o", caseSensitive: false) -> 2

// Reverse string
"123abc".reverse() -> "cba321"
// Return latinized string
"Hèllö Wórld!".latinize() -> "Hello World!"
// Create random string of length
String.random(ofLength: 10) -> "AhEju28kNl"
// Check if string contains one or more instance of substring
"Hello World!".contain("o", caseSensitive: false) -> true
// Check if string contains one or more emojis
"string👨with😍emojis✊🏿".containEmoji -> true
// Subscript strings easily
"Hello"[2] = "l"
// Slice strings
let s = "Hello world"
s.slicing(from: 6, length: 5) // -> "world"
s.slicing(from: 6, to: 11) // -> "world"
s.slicing(at: 6) // -> "world"
// Convert string to numbers
"12.12".toDouble -> 12.12
