# FZSwiftUtils

Swift Foundation extensions and useful classes & utilities.

**For a full documentation take a look at the included documentation located at */Documentation*. Opening the file launches Xcode's documentation browser.**

## Notable Extensions & Classes

### DataSize

A data size abstraction.

```swift
var dataSize = DataSize(gigabytes: 1.5)
dataSize.megabyte // 1500 megabytes
dataSize.terabyte += 1
dataSize.string(includesUnit: true) // "1tb, 1gb, 500mb"
dataSize.string(for: .terabyte, includesUnit: false) // "1,15"
```

### TimeDuration

A duration/time interval abstraction.

```swift
var duration = TimeDuration(seconds: 1)
duration.minutes += 2
duration.string(style: .full) // "2 minutes, 1 seconds"
duration.string(for: .seconds) = "121 seconds"

// Duration between two dates.
let dateDuration = TimeDuration(from: date1, to: date2)
```

### NSObject property observation

- Observe KVO properties of a `NSObject` using `observeChanges(for:)`.

It returns `KeyValueObservation` that you need to save as long as you want to observe the property.

```swift
let textField = NSTextField()

let stringObservation = textField.observeChanges(for \.stringValue) { oldStringValue, stringValue in
/// stringValue changed
}
```

- Observe multiple properties using `KeyValueObserver`:

```swift
let textFieldObserver = KeyValueObserver(textField)
textFieldObserver.add(\.stringValue) { oldStringValue, stringValue in
/// stringValue changed
}
textFieldObserver.add(\.font) { oldFont, font in
/// font changed
}
textFieldObserver.add(\.textColor) { oldTextColor, textColor in
/// textColor changed
}
```

### NSObject Associated Values

Associated Values allows you to add additional properties to a `NSObject`:

```swift
// Set
view.associatedValue["backgroundColor"] = NSColor.black

// get
if let backgroundColor: NSColor = view.associatedValue["backgroundColor"] {

}

// Or easily extend objects:
extension NSView {
var backgroundColor: NSColor? {
get { associatedValue["backgroundColor"] }
set {
associatedValue["backgroundColor"] = newValue

}
}
}
```

### Iterate directories & files

Addition `URL` methods for iterating the content of file system directories.

- Iterate sub folders:

```swift
for folderURL in downloadsDirectory.iterateFolders() {

}
```

- Iterate files:

```swift
for fileURL in downloadsDirectory.iterateFiles() {

}
```

- Iterate files recursively (including the files of sub folders) and include hidden files:

```swift
for fileURL in downloadsDirectory.iterateFiles().recursive.includingHidden {

}
```

- Iterate files by file extensions, file types or by predicate:

```swift
// Iterate multimedia files
for multimediaFileURL in downloadsDirectory.iterateFiles(types: [.video, .image, .gif]) {

}

// Iterates files with .txt extension
for txtFileURL in downloadsDirectory.iterateFiles(extensions: ["txt"]) {

}

// Iterates video files with file names that contain "vid_"
for fileURL in downloadsDirectory.iterate(predicate: { file in
return file.fileType == .video && file.lastPathComponent.contains("vid_")
}).recursive.includingHidden {

}
```

### File System URL Resources

Get properties of a file system resource (like creation date, file size or finder tags) using `URL.resources`:

```swift
let creationDate = fileURL.resources.creationDate
let fileSize = fileURL.resources.fileSize
let finderTags = fileURL.resources.finderTags
```

### MeasureTime

Meassures the time executing a block.

```swift
MeasureTime.printTimeElapsed() {
/// The block to measure
}
```

### NSObject Class Reflection

Reflects all properties, methods and ivars of a NSObject class including hidden ones.

```swift
/// All properties, methods and ivars of `NSView`:
Swift.print(NSView.classReflection())

/// All class properties of `UIView`:
Swift.print(UIView.classReflection().classProperties)
```

### OSHash

An implementation of the OpenSuptitle hash.

```swift

let hash = try? OSHash.hash(url: fileURL)
hash?.hashValue /// The hash value
```

### Progress extensions

- `autoUpdateEstimatedTimeRemaining`: Updates the estimted time remaining and throughput.
- `addFileProgress(url: URL)`: Shows the file progress in Finder.

```swift
progress.addFileProgress(url: fileURL, kind: .downloading)
```

- `MutableProgress`: A progress that allows to add and remove children progresses.

### Notification Observation Using Blocks

Observe `NotificationCenter` notifications using a block.

Use NotificationCenter`s `observe(name:object:block:)`. It returns `NotificationToken` that you need to save as long as you want to observe the notification.

```swift
let viewFrameNotificationToken = NotificationCenter.default.observe(NSView.frameDidChangeNotification, object: view) { _ in
}
```

### More…

- `AsyncOperation`: An asynchronous, pausable operation.
- `PausableOperationQueue`: A pausable operation queue.
- `SynchronizedArray`/`SynchronizedDictionary`: A synchronized array/dictionary.
- `Equatable.isEqual(_ other: any Equatable) -> Bool`: Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the value is equatable to another value.
- `Comparable.isLessThan(_ other: any Comparable) -> Bool`: Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the value is less than another value.
