SafeTypesMacros is a Swift package that extends SafeTypes by adding macro literal initializers for its types.
By ensuring conditions at compile time, SafeTypes allows developers to write safer, more robust and expressive code with reduced boilerplate, increased performance, and improved documentation through its constrained types.
SafeTypes is awesome and Macros makes it even more so.
-
Macros for non optional initializers for SafeTypes custom data types through literals (values checked at compile time).
-
Type-safe containers that prevent invalid states
-
Enforced runtime constraints at compile time
-
Enhanced code readability and maintainability
-
Simplified method interfaces and APIs
-
Streamlined unit testing by eliminating redundant unhappy-path checks
Add the following to your Package.swift
file's dependencies:
.package(url: "https://github.com/lucaswkuipers/SafeTypesMacros.git", from: "1.0.0")
Or File
> Add Package Dependencies
, and enter the following URL:
https://github.com/lucaswkuipers/SafeTypesMacros.git
If you are manipulating the resulting data type it's recommended installing the SafeTypes base library too:
.package(url: "https://github.com/lucaswkuipers/SafeTypes.git", from: "1.0.0")
or File
> Add Package Dependencies
, and enter the following URL:
https://github.com/lucaswkuipers/SafeTypes.git
And then import wherever needed:
import SafeTypesMacros
import SafeTypes // Optionally
Below are some of the Macros provided for SafeTypes
and brief examples of their usage:
Macro for string that's guaranteed to contain at least one character (can be blank or invisible character).
// ✅ Compiles
#NonEmptyString("Alice") // NonEmptyString
#NonEmptyString(" Bob ") // NonEmptyString
#NonEmptyString(" ") // NonEmptyString
// ❌ Fails
#NonEmptyString("") // String can't be empty
#NonEmptyString() // No argument
Where number is:
typealias Number = Numeric & Comparable
Macro for a number that is guaranteed to be greater than zero (value > 0)
// ✅ Compiles
#Positive(123) // Positive<Int>
#Positive(42.69) // Positive<Double>
// ❌ Fails
#Positive(-1) // Can't be negative
#Positive(0) // Can't be zero
#Positive() // No argument
Macro for A number that is guaranteed to be less than zero (value < 0)
// ✅ Compiles
#Negative(-123) // Negative<Int>
#Negative(-42.69) // Negative<Double>
// ❌ Fails
#Negative(1) // Can't be positive
#Negative(0) // Can't be zero
#Negative() // No argument
Macro for a number that is guaranteed to be less than or equal to zero (value <= 0)
// ✅ Compiles
#NonPositive(-123) // NonPositive<Int>
#NonPositive(-42.69) // NonPositive<Double>
#NonPositive(0) // NonPositive<Int>
#NonPositive(0.0) // NonPositive<Double>
// ❌ Fails
#NonPositive(1) // Can't be positive
#NonPositive() // No argument
Macro for number that is guaranteed to be greater than or equal to zero (value >= 0)
// ✅ Compiles
#NonNegative(123) // NonNegative<Int>
#NonNegative(42.69) // NonNegative<Double>
#NonNegative(0) // NonNegative<Int>
#NonNegative(0.0) // NonNegative<Double>
// ❌ Fails
#NonNegative(-273.15) // Can't be negative
#NonNegative() // No argument
Macro for a number that is guaranteed to be different than zero (value != 0)
// ✅ Non Optional Initializers
#NonZero(123) // NonZero<Int>
#NonZero(42.69) // NonZero<Double>
#NonZero(-123) // NonZero<Int>
#NonZero(-42.69) // NonZero<Double>
// ❌ Fails to compile
#NonZero(0) // Can't be zero
#NonZero(0.0) // Can't be zero
#NonZero() // No argument
Macro for number that's within the range of -1 to 1, inclusive. ([-1, 1])
// ✅ Compiles
#MinusOneToOne(-1) // MinusOneToOne<Int>
#MinusOneToOne(-1.0) // MinusOneToOne<Double>
#MinusOneToOne(-0.314159) // MinusOneToOne<Double>
#MinusOneToOne(0) // MinusOneToOne<Int>
#MinusOneToOne(0.0) // MinusOneToOne<Double>
#MinusOneToOne(0.1234) // MinusOneToOne<Double>
#MinusOneToOne(1) // MinusOneToOne<Double>
// ❌ Fails
#MinusOneToOne(-1.1) // Can't be less than -1
#MinusOneToOne(42.1) // Can't be greater than 1
#MinusOneToOne() // No Argument
Macro for number from 0 to 1, inclusive.
// ✅ Compiles
#ZeroToOne(0) // ZeroToOne<Int>
#ZeroToOne(0.0) // ZeroToOne<Double>
#ZeroToOne(0.1234) // ZeroToOne<Double>
#ZeroToOne(1) // ZeroToOne<Double>
// ❌ Fails
#ZeroToOne(-0.5) // Can't be less than 0
#ZeroToOne(42.1) // Can't be greater than 1
#ZeroToOne() // No argument
Each type guarantees compliance with its stated constraints so that your functions and methods can rely on those qualities and pass them on (preserving information).
