About DocumentKit

DocumentKit is an SDK that adds more capabilities to DocumentGroup-based SwiftUI apps.

DocumentGroup-based apps are in general quite limited when it comes to customization. For instance, you can't add custom items to the document browser toolbar.

Also, since a DocumentGroup has no view until you open a document, you can't present any initial onboarding screens or modals from it.

DocumentKit makes it easy to do all these things, to let you create a better user experience for your document-based apps.

Installation

DocumentKit can be installed with the Swift Package Manager:

https://github.com/danielsaidi/DocumentKit.git

Getting started

DocumentKit extends DocumentGroup with modifiers that let you add custom toolbar items, customize the document browser etc.:

@main
struct MyApp: App {

    var body: some Scene {
        DocumentGroup(newDocument: DemoDocument()) { file in
            ContentView(document: file.$document)
        }
        .additionalNavigationBarButtonItems(
            leading: [...],
            trailing: [...]
        )
        .allowsDocumentCreation(true)
        .allowsPickingMultipleItems(true)
        .showFileExtensions(true)
        .onboardingSheet {
            MyOnboardingScreen()
        }
        .splashSheet {
            MySplashScreen()
        }
    }
}

DocumentKit also extends DocumentGroup with modifiers that let you present onboarding modals and splash screens when the app launches, lets you inspect the underlying document browser, etc.

For more information, please see the getting started guide.
