mklbtz / Collection+random.swift
Last active November 3, 2018 17:33
Implements "random" properties for collections and ranges
import Darwin
extension RandomAccessCollection {
// Fails if collection is larger than UInt32.max
var randomIndex: Index {
guard !isEmpty else { return endIndex }
let fullDistance = UInt32(distance(from: startIndex, to: endIndex))
let randomDistance = IndexDistance(arc4random_uniform(fullDistance))
return index(startIndex, offsetBy: randomDistance)
}
/// Useful for maintaining a strong reference to
/// something which would otherwise be deinitialized.
public final class Token<A> {
public let id: A
private let dispose: (A) -> Void
/// Create a new token
///
/// - Parameters:
/// - id: A unique identifier for this token.

A DSL for safely building file paths
class AbsoluteDirectory < AbstractPath

AbsoluteDirectory.new(nodes: [])
end
def initialize(nodes:)
raise "Last node cannot be a file, got (#{nodes.last.class})" if nodes.last&.file?
if nodes.first&.root?
super(nodes: nodes)
elsif nodes.first&.current?

SE Proposal: New literal for Data from contents of file

New literal for Data from contents of file

  • Proposal: SE-NNNN
  • Authors: Michael Bates
  • Review Manager: TBD
  • Status: Awaiting implementation

Introduction

In Swift today, literals give us the ability to embed files, images, and colors directly into our programs. This proposes a new literal that will embed the contents of a file as Data. The proposed syntax is…

Image.new.tap { |img| img.url = url }
end

Some Unix-y command line tools written in Swift

In the course of time, I found myself wanting to run RSpec automatically in response to file changes. I found a nice tool called fswatch to handle the file events, but I wanted a "smarter" pipeline. Following the Unix philosophy, I wrote a few tiny command line tools which I've provided the source to.

  • specname — maps a file in a rails project to its corresponding spec file.
  • debounce — makes sure multiple rapid saves don't trigger as many RSpec runs.
  • throttle — could be used to collect multiple file changes into one RSpec run, but I haven't figured that last part out yet.

The core functions are fully generic and have no dependencies on anything but Foundation, so they could be easily incorporated into a larger project if there's a use for them.
