Bow is a library for Typed Functional Programming in Swift.

Modules

Bow is split in multiple modules that can be consumed independently. These modules are:

• Bow: core library. Contains Higher Kinded Types emulation, function manipulation utilities, Typeclasses, Data Types, Monad Transformers and instances for primitive types.
• BowOptics: module to work with different optics.
• BowRecursionSchemes: module to work with recursion schemes.
• BowFree: module to work with Free Monads.
• BowGeneric: module to work with generic data types.
• BowEffects: module to work with effects.
• BowBrightFutures: module to provide an integration with BrightFutures.
• BowRx: module to provide an integration with RxSwift.

There are also some modules for testing:

• BowLaws: laws for type classes in the core module.
• BowOpticsLaws: laws for optics.
• BowEffectsLaws: laws for effects.
• BowGenerators: generators for Property-based Testing for data types in the core module.
• BowFreeGenerators: generators for Property-based Testing for data types in BowFree.
• BowEffectsGenerators: generators for Property-based Testing for data types in BowEffects.
• BowRxGenerators: generators for Property-based Testing for data types in BowRx.
• BowBrightFuturesGenerators: generators for Property-based Testing for data types in BowBrightFutures.

Bow is available using CocoaPods, Carthage and Swift Package Manager.

CocoaPods

You can consume each Bow module as a separate pod. You can add these lines to your Podfile at your convenience:

pod "Bow",                 "~> {version}"
pod "BowOptics",           "~> {version}"
pod "BowRecursionSchemes", "~> {version}"
pod "BowFree",             "~> {version}"
pod "BowGeneric",          "~> {version}"
pod "BowEffects",          "~> {version}"
pod "BowRx",               "~> {version}"
pod "BowBrightFutures",    "~> {version}"

Testing laws:

pod "BowLaws",        "~> {version}"
pod "BowOpticsLaws",  "~> {version}"
pod "BowEffectsLaws", "~> {version}"

Generators for property-based testing with SwiftCheck:

pod "BowGenerators",              "~> {version}"
pod "BowFreeGenerators",          "~> {version}"
pod "BowEffectsGenerators",       "~> {version}"
pod "BowRxGenerators",            "~> {version}"
pod "BowBrightFuturesGenerators", "~> {version}"

Carthage

Carthage will download the whole Bow project, but it will compile individual frameworks for each module that you can use separately. Add this line to your Cartfile:

github "bow-swift/Bow" ~> {version}

Swift Package Manager

Create a Package.swift file similar to the next one and use the dependencies at your convenience.

// swift-tools-version:5.0

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "BowTestProject",
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/bow-swift/bow.git", from: "{version}")
    ],
    targets: [
        .target(name: "BowTestProject",
                dependencies: [
                    "Bow",
                    "BowOptics",
                    "BowRecursionSchemes",
                    "BowFree",
                    "BowGeneric",
                    "BowEffects",
                    "BowRx",
                    "BowBrightFutures"]),
        .testTarget(name: "BowTestProjectTests",
                    dependencies: [
                        // Type class laws
                        "BowLaws",
                        "BowOpticsLaws",
                        "BowEffectsLaws",

                        // Generators for PBT with SwiftCheck
                        "BowGenerators",
                        "BowFreeGenerators",
                        "BowEffectsGenerators",
                        "BowRxGenerators",
                        "BowBrightFuturesGenerators"])
    ]
)

To build it, just run:

$ swift build

How to run the project

If you don't have carthage, install it first:

brew install carthage

After this, grab all the project dependencies running:

carthage bootstrap

Now, you can open Bow.xcodeproj with Xcode and run the test to see that everything is working.
