Using Swift 5's Custom String Interpolation in Practice @basthomas, Copenhagen
Cocoa, 06-02-2020 1
Who am I • Swift Weekly Brief • Contravariance (stickers)
• RayWenderlich tech editor • iOS Platform at XING @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 2
Where do we come from? @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 3
! @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 4
NSString *name = @"Bas"; [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Hello, %@", name]; [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.2f",
9.0234]; [NSString stringWithFormat: @"Hello %@, how are you doing this %@? %@", @"Bas", @"evening", @"Great!" ]; @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 5
✨ @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 6
let name = "Bas" "Hello, \(name)" String(format: "%.2f", 9.0234) //
"Hello \(name), how are you doing this \(timeOfDay)?" @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 7
It is very good. @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 8
Interlude @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 9
Swift Evolution @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 10
Multiline String Literals (SE-0168) """ Hello, how are you doing
this \(timeOfDay)? """ @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 11
String Literal Delimiters (SE-0200) // before "\"Did you put your
name into the Goblet of Fire, Harry?\" he asked calmly." // after #""Harry! Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?!""# @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 12
And then... @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 13
Custom String Interpolation (aka Fix ExpressibleByStringInterpolation) @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020
14
Localization @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 15
let message: LocalizableString = #"The document "\(name)" could not be
saved."# alert.messageText = String(localized: message) @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 16
Errors @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 17
extension String.StringInterpolation { mutating func appendInterpolation(_ error: Error) { appendLiteral(error.localizedDescription)
} } fatalError( "Something went wrong: \(ConnectionError.invalidRequest)" ) @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 18
Number formatting @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 19
extension String.StringInterpolation { mutating func appendInterpolation( number: Double, formatter: NumberFormatter
) { appendInterpolation( ifNotNil: formatter.string(from: NSNumber(value: number)) ) } } let priceFormatter = NumberFormatter() priceFormatter.numberStyle = .currency "\(number: 100.1234, formatter: priceFormatter)" @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 20
Logging and privacy @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 21
extension String.StringInterpolation { mutating func appendInterpolation(private: String) { #if DEBUG
appendLiteral(`private`) #else appendLiteral("@@@") #endif } } let name = "Bas" let password = "Broek" print("User \(name) has password \(private: password)") @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 22
Other instances @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 23
"\(properties == nil ? "nil" : String(describing: properties ?? [:]))"
@basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 24
extension String.StringInterpolation { mutating func appendInterpolation( dictionary: Dictionary<AnyHashable, Any>?, default:
@autoclosure () -> String = "nil" ) { if let dictionary = dictionary { appendLiteral(String(describing: dictionary)) } else { appendLiteral(`default`()) } } } "\(dictionary: properties)" @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 25
123 > maxBadgeCount ? String("\(maxBadgeCount)+") : String(123) @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa,
06-02-2020 26
extension String.StringInterpolation { mutating func appendInterpolation( number: Int, maximum: @autoclosure
() -> Int ) { let max = maximum() if number > max { appendLiteral("\(max)+") } else { appendLiteral("\(number)") } } } "\(number: number, maximum: maxBadgeCount)" @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 27
! @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 28
Polluting a namespace @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 29
Code, documentation, tests @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 30
struct BadgeCount: CustomStringConvertible { let value: Int var maximum =
99 var description: String { if value > maximum { return "\(maximum)+" } else { return "\(value)" } } } "\(BadgeCount(value: 123, maximum: 99))" "\(BadgeCount(value: 123))" @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 31
Going all in @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 32
struct HTMLComponent: ExpressibleByStringLiteral, ExpressibleByStringInterpolation, CustomStringConvertible { struct StringInterpolation: StringInterpolationProtocol {
var output = "" init(literalCapacity: Int, interpolationCount: Int) { output.reserveCapacity(literalCapacity * 2) } mutating func appendLiteral(_ literal: String) { output.append(literal) } mutating func appendInterpolation(twitter: String) { output.append("<a href=\"https://twitter.com/\(twitter)\">@\(twitter)</a>") } mutating func appendInterpolation(email: String) { output.append("<a href=\"mailto:\(email)\">\(email)</a>") } } let description: String init(stringLiteral value: String) { description = "<p>\(value)</p>" } init(stringInterpolation: StringInterpolation) { self.init(stringLiteral: stringInterpolation.output) } } @basthomas, Copenhagen Cocoa, 06-02-2020 33
