This project is a collection of good to have tricks'n'tips and useful Xcode/Swift snippets. The framework-like parts are organised in the Dynamo group and should be easily copied to a new project. Remember to add #import "Dynamo-Bridging.h" to any bridging header in a new project.
The project contains the CodeSteps utility and a CodeSteps file that contains a number of code bookmarks.
The CodeSteps utility is in the codesteps folder. But you can also download the latest version from here. It is also described here http://dyna.mo/bookmarking-tool-for-code/
Various parts make use of a couple general convinient helpers.
Debug.info(..), Log messages that can be disabled fromAppConfig.swiftString.lookup(string: ..), Strings loaded fromStrings.jsonFloat.constantBy(name: ..), Constants loaded fromFloats.json- Logging on
deinit { .. }to see correct cleanups
- AnimatedCheckmarkView, can be used to make other animated symbols
- ResponseButton, alternative UIButton that will show border response on touches
- SlideSegue, 4 way slide segues
LaunchScreen will fade into Main screen after initial loading. See AppDelegate
In various places are IB Design fields in use.
Design, colorsDesign Title, text on buttons, labels and text fieldsDesign Placeholder, placeholder text for Text FieldsBorder Width, enable UIView bordersBorder Color, border colorRounded Corner Radius, radius of border
Strings and Floats lookup are also used for Design Title, Border Width and Rounded Corner Radius.
The download demo show a couple of different things.
- NetworkOperation, a OperationQueue based network class
- AnimatedCheckmarkView
The Context demo show a lean way to populate UI things like UILabel
The Context concept is a way to attach data on UIView elements and the IB Context field. The Context works like a dictionay. Accessing entries are handled through the Context field in IB. Things to notice in the code, setting context data with view.setFullContext([]). Also have a look at the 'Context' field in IB.
This part also make use of a simplified JSON parsing. See data?.JSON() (and Data.JSON([]))
The Associated demo show a simplified API for so called associated objects. This implementation access a single dictionary that in turn can hold and easily access more data entries .
Yet another State Machine class. Demo also generates a dot file which can be used to create a PDF of the state machine to be able to look at it. The demo is a simple 3 state SM with 3 events (here emitted by buttons).
QR Test is a small demo of using a simple html5 based QR code generator to supply ie. test or debug data into an app. Open the qrtest/index.html in a browser and point the iPhone standard camera at the QR Code. The Workbench app should open and the values should have been supplied. Colors can be either hexadecimal like 00ff00 or ie. a name like blue. The string field respond to big and small. Fast is the speed of the ball in the QR Test screen. The QR Test screen only updates when opening so if it is aleady opened, close and open again to apply any changes.

CSV is a small demo of using a Google Sheet to supply some data for the app. There is also a second usage of a Google Sheet supplied CSV file. Actually the second tab from the same sheet, which is used at compile time in a build phase step.
Callout is a small demo showing information callouts for the things on a page. The are created via a Callout propety in InterfaceBuilder. The field should contain a string with two part seperated by a colon. Before the colon there can be an id token which is used to track which callouts has already been presented. After the colon there can be the string, or a string lookup key to be used as the callout text.
