swift-strings-helper

A framework/library to make working with strings in Swift a bit easier. Because who can remember how to use String.Index and Substring?

How to use as a framework:

• select the scheme you want: StringsHelper-iOS or StringsHelper-Mac.
• build the scheme.
• from Products, drag the required framework into the Embedded Binaries section of the General settings for your project, selecting selecting "Copy items if needed" and "Create groups".
• In your swift files, using import StringsHelper_Mac or import StringsHelper_iOS
• Check out the playground in the framework project for details of the included functions.

How to use as plain Swift files:

• open this project folder in Finder.
• drag the Helpers folder into your own project, selecting "Copy items if needed" and "Create groups".
• Check out the playground in the framework project for details of the included functions.

CocoaPODs and Carthage support may come, depending on the level of interest. Or I may be able to skip straight to supporting Swift Package Manager.

September 2019: Updated to Swift 5.2
