CachyKit: A Caching Library Is Written in Swift

CachyKit

Description

Nice threadsafe expirable cache management that can cache any object. Supports fetching from server, single object expire date, UIImageView loading etc.

Installation

Cocoapods

CachyKit is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'CachyKit'

then run

$ pod repo update

$ pod install

Features

•  Asynchronous data downloading and caching.
•  Asynchronous image downloading, caching and showing.
•  Expiry date/time for all the object individually.
•  Multiple-layer hybrid cache for both memory and disk.
•  Fine control on cache behavior. Customizable expiration date and size limit.
•  Force refresh if needed.
•  Independent components. Use the Cachy or CachyLoader system separately as you need.
•  Can save JSON, UIImage, ZIP or AnyObject.
•  View extensions for UIImageView.
•  Indicator while loading images.

Usage

import CachyKit

If you want to download and cache a file(JSON, ZIP, UIImage or any type) then simply call with a url

 let cachy = CachyLoader()

 cachy.loadWithURL(URL(string: "http://your_url_here")!) { [weak self] data, _ in
    // Do whatever you need with the data object
 }

You can also cache with URLRequest

let cachy = CachyLoader()

let request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "http://your_url_here")!)
cachy.loadWithURLRequest(request) { [weak self] data, _ in
    // Do whatever you need with the data object
 }

if you want set expiry date for each object

let cachy = CachyLoader()

//(optional) if isRefresh = true it will forcefully refresh data from remote server
//(optional) you can set **expirationDate** according to your need

cachy.loadWithURL(URL(string: "http://your_url_here")!,isRefresh = false,expirationDate = ExpiryDate.everyDay.expiryDate()) { [weak self] data, _ in
     // Do whatever you need with the data object
  }

Clear all cache

CachyLoaderManager.shared.clear()

CachyLoader has also UIImageView extension.

//(optional) if isShowLoading is true it will show a loading indicator
imageView.cachyImageLoad("your URL", isShowLoading: true, completionBlock: { _, _ in })

It will download, cache and load UIImage into your UIImageView CachyLoader is also configurable, by calling function CachyLoaderManager.shared.configure()

// All the parametre is optional
// Here if you want set how much much memory/disk should use set memoryCapacity, diskCapacity
// To cache only on memory set isOnlyInMemory which is true by default
// You may set expiry date for all the cache object by setting expiryDate
// Your objects may not be conforming to `NSSecureCoding`, set this variable to `false`

CachyLoaderManager.shared.configure(
     memoryCapacity: 1020,
     maxConcurrentOperationCount: 10,
     timeoutIntervalForRequest: 3,
     expiryDate: ExpiryDate.everyWeek,
     isOnlyInMemory: true,
     isSupportingSecureCodingSaving: false
)

expiryDate parametre takes

1. .never to never expire the cache object
2. .everyDay to expire at the end of the day
3. .everyWeek to expiry after a week
4. .everyMonth to set the expiry date each month
5. .seconds to set the expiry after some seconds

Without CachyLoader

To cache using CachyLoader is the easiest way to do, but if you want manage your caching, sycning and threading CachyKit also supports that.

Configuration

Here is how you can setup some configuration options

Cachy.countLimit = 1000 // setup total count of elements saved into the cache

Cachy.totalCostLimit = 1024 * 1024 // setup the cost limit of the cache

Cachy.shared.expiration = .everyDay // setup expiration date of each object in the cache

Cachy.shared.isOnlyInMemory = false // will be cached on Memory only or both

Adding/Fetching objects

If you want to add or fetch an object you just follow these simple steps:

//1. Create a CachyObject
let object = CachyObject(value: "HEllo, Worlds", key: "key")

// A given expiry date will be applied to the item
let object2 = CachyObject(value: "HEllo, Worlds", key: "key",expirationDate: ExpiryDate.everyDay.expiryDate())

//2. Add it to the cache
Cachy.shared.add(object: object)

//3. Fetch an object from the cache
let string: String? = Cachy.shared.get(forKey: "key")

Cache: Swift Caching Library

Cache

A generic caching library for Swift. Cache depends on Foundation.

This is still very much a work in progress.

Usage

Cache provides a simple Cache protocol:

protocol Cache {
  associatedtype Element

  func get(key key: String, completion: (Element? -> Void))
  func set(key key: String, value: Element, completion: (() -> Void)?)
  func remove(key key: String, completion: (() -> Void)?)
  func removeAll(completion completion: (() -> Void)?)
}

There are two (well actually three, but we'll get there) provided caches:

• MemoryCache — Backed by an NSCache
• DiskCache — Backed by files on disk using NSFileManager

Using both of these is exactly the same interface.

MultiCache

There is a third cache provided called MultiCache. This combines caches.

let cache = MultiCache(caches: [memoryCache, diskCache])
cache.set(key: "foo", value: "bar")

This will write to all caches in parallel. When accessing the multi cache, it will go in order. In this example, it will try the memory cache and if there's a miss it will try the disk cache. If it were to find it in the disk cache, it will write it to all previous caches for faster future reads.

Elegant Library to Manage The interactions Between View In Swift

An assistant to manage the interactions between view and model

ModelAssistant is a mediator between the view and model. This framework is tailored to work in conjunction with views that present collections of objects. These views typically expect their data source to present results as a list of sections made up of rows. ModelAssistant can efficiently analyze model objects and categorize them in sections. In addition it updates adopted view to its delegate, based on model objects changes.

Features

•  Inserting / Removing / Ordering / Updating model objects
•  Notifies changes to view
•  Full compatible with UITableView and UICollectionView
•  Supports Sections
•  Supports index titles
•  Compatible with Server data source
•  Compatible with all kind of persistent stores
•  Compatible with all design patterns
•  Easy to use
•  Thread safe
•  Fault Ability
•  Complete Documentation

What's New:

Version 1.1.3:

Now using modelAssitant is really easy with just two lines of codes, and delegates will be implement automatically to your collection view.

See Usage for new way of implementing modelAssistant.

Version 1.0.8.3:

Upgraded to Swift 5

Version 1.0.8:

• Fault Ability: Now you can make entities in an specific range fault or fire them. For more information see Advanced Usage

Requirements

• iOS 8.0+
• Xcode 8.3+
• Swift 3.1+

Installation

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

To integrate ModelAssistant into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!

target '<Your Target Name>' do

    pod 'ModelAssistant'
    
end

If you are not upgraded to Swift 4.2, use the last non-swift 4.2 compatible release:

If you are using swift 4, replace pod 'ModelAssistant' with this:

pod 'ModelAssistant', '1.0.1' #Swift 4

If you are using swift 3, replace pod 'ModelAssistant' with this:

pod 'ModelAssistant', '1.0.0' #Swift 3

Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

To integrate ModelAssistant into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "ssamadgh/ModelAssistant"

Run carthage update --platform iOS to build the framework and drag the built ModelAssistant.framework into your Xcode project.

Manually

If you prefer not to use any of the aforementioned dependency managers, you can integrate ModelAssistant into your project manually.

Embedded Framework

Open up Terminal, cd into your top-level project directory, and run the following command "if" your project is not initialized as a git repository:

$ git init

Add ModelAssistant as a git submodule by running the following command:

$ git submodule add https://github.com/ssamadgh/ModelAssistant.git

Open the new ModelAssistant folder, and drag the ModelAssistant.xcodeproj into the Project Navigator of your application's Xcode project.

It should appear nested underneath your application's blue project icon. Whether it is above or below all the other Xcode groups does not matter.

Select the ModelAssistant.xcodeproj in the Project Navigator and verify the deployment target matches that of your application target.

Next, select your application project in the Project Navigator (blue project icon) to navigate to the target configuration window and select the application target under the "Targets" heading in the sidebar.

In the tab bar at the top of that window, open the "General" panel.

Click on the + button under the "Embedded Binaries" section.

You will see two different ModelAssistant.xcodeproj folders each with a ModelAssistant.framework nested inside a Products folder.

It does not matter which Products folder you choose from.

Select the ModelAssistant.framework.

And that's it!

The ModelAssistant.framework is automagically added as a target dependency, linked framework and embedded framework in a copy files build phase which is all you need to build on the simulator and a device.

FAQ

What is the position of ModelAssistant in design patterns?

ModelAssistant is fully compatible with all kind of design patterns. It doesn't violate them, instead it finds its place and sit there! As a guide the position of ModelAssistant in some of famous design patterns is as follows:

Design Pattern	ModelAssistant Position
MVC	Controller
MVP	Presenter
MVVM	ViewModel
VIPER	Presenter
