ExCodable - Key-Mapping Extensions for Swift Codable.

Contents

Features

  • Extends Swift Codable - Encodable & Decodable;
  • Supports Key-Mapping via KeyPath and Coding-Key:
    • ExCodable did not read/write memory via unsafe pointers;
    • No need to encode/decode properties one by one;
    • Just requires using var to declare properties and provide default values;
    • In most cases, the CodingKey type is no longer necessary, because it will only be used once, String literals may be better.
  • Supports multiple Key-Mappings for different data sources;
  • Supports multiple Alternative-Keys via Array for decoding;
  • Supports Nested-Keys via String with dot syntax;
  • Supports customized encode/decode via subscripts;
  • Supports builtin and custom Type-Conversions;
  • Supports struct, class and subclass;
  • Uses JSON encoder/decoder by default, and supports PList;
  • Uses Type-Inference, supports JSON Data, String and Object;
  • Returns Optional values instead of throwing errors, to avoid frequent use of try?.

Usage

1. Key-Mapping for struct:

Requires using var to declare properties and provide default values.

struct TestStruct: Equatable {
    private(set) var int: Int = 0
    private(set) var string: String = ""
}
extension TestStruct: ExCodable {
    
    static var keyMapping: [KeyMap<Self>] = [
        KeyMap(\.int, to: "int"),
        KeyMap(\.string, to: "string")
    ]
    
    init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
        decode(with: Self.keyMapping, using: decoder)
    }
    func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws {
        encode(with: Self.keyMapping, using: encoder)
    }
    
}

2. Key-Mapping for class:

Cannot adopt ExCodable in extension of classes.

class TestClass: ExCodable, Equatable {
    
    var int: Int = 0
    var string: String? = nil
    init(int: Int, string: String?) {
        self.int = int
        self.string = string
    }
    
    static var keyMapping: [KeyMap<TestClass>] = [
        KeyMap(ref: \.int, to: "int"),
        KeyMap(ref: \.string, to: "string")
    ]
    
    required init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
        decodeReference(with: Self.keyMapping, using: decoder)
    }
    func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws {
        encode(with: Self.keyMapping, using: encoder)
    }
    
    static func == (lhs: TestClass, rhs: TestClass) -> Bool {
        return lhs.int == rhs.int && lhs.string == rhs.string
    }
}

3. Key-Mapping for subclass:

Requires declaring another static Key-Mapping for subclass.

class TestSubclass: TestClass {
    var bool: Bool = false
    required init(int: Int, string: String, bool: Bool) {
        self.bool = bool
        super.init(int: int, string: string)
    }
    
    static var keyMappingForTestSubclass: [KeyMap<TestSubclass>] = [
        KeyMap(ref: \.bool, to: "bool")
    ]
    
    required init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
        try super.init(from: decoder)
        decodeReference(with: Self.keyMappingForTestSubclass, using: decoder)
    }
    override func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws {
        try super.encode(to: encoder)
        encode(with: Self.keyMappingForTestSubclass, using: encoder)
    }
    
    static func == (lhs: TestSubclass, rhs: TestSubclass) -> Bool {
        return lhs.int == rhs.int
            && lhs.string == rhs.string
            && lhs.bool == rhs.bool
    }
}

4. Alternative-Keys:

static var keyMapping: [KeyMap<Self>] = [
    KeyMap(\.int, to: "int", "i"),
    KeyMap(\.string, to: "string", "str", "s")
]

5. Nested-Keys:

static var keyMapping: [KeyMap<Self>] = [
    KeyMap(\.int, to: "nested.int"),
    KeyMap(\.string, to: "nested.nested.string")
]

6. Custom encode/decode handlers:

static var keyMapping: [KeyMap<Self>] = [
    KeyMap(\.int, to: "int"),
    KeyMap(\.string, to: "string", encode: { (encoder, stringKeys, test, keyPath) in
        encoder[stringKeys.first!] = "dddd" 
    }, decode: { (test, keyPath, decoder, stringKeys) in
        switch test.int {
            case 100: test.string = "Continue"
            case 200: test.string = "OK"
            case 304: test.string = "Not Modified"
            case 403: test.string = "Forbidden"
            case 404: test.string = "Not Found"
            case 418: test.string = "I'm a teapot"
            case 500: test.string = "Internal Server Error"
            case 200..<400: test.string = "success"
            default: test.string = "failure"
        }
    })
]

7. Encode/decode constant properties with subscripts:

Using let to declare properties without default values.

struct TestSubscript: Equatable {
    let int: Int
    let string: String
}
extension TestSubscript: Codable {
    
    enum Keys: CodingKey {
        case int, string
    }
    
    init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
        int = decoder[Keys.int] ?? 0
        string = decoder[Keys.string] ?? ""
    }
    func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws {
        encoder[Keys.int] = int
        encoder[Keys.string] = string
    }
    
}

8. Custom Type-Conversions:

Extends KeyedDecodingContainer with protocol KeyedDecodingContainerCustomTypeConversion and implement its method, decode values in alternative types and convert to target type.

extension KeyedDecodingContainer: KeyedDecodingContainerCustomTypeConversion {
    public func decodeForTypeConversion<T, K>(_ container: KeyedDecodingContainer<K>, codingKey: K, as type: T.Type) -> T? where T: Decodable, K: CodingKey {
        
        if type is Double.Type || type is Double?.Type {
            if let bool = try? decodeIfPresent(Bool.self, forKey: codingKey as! Self.Key) {
                return (bool ? 1.0 : 0.0) as? T
            }
        }
        
        else if type is Float.Type || type is Float?.Type {
            if let bool = try? decodeIfPresent(Bool.self, forKey: codingKey as! Self.Key) {
                return (bool ? 1.0 : 0.0) as? T
            }
        }
        
        return nil
    }
}

9. Encode/decode with Type-Inference:

let test = TestStruct(int: 100, string: "Continue")
let data = test.encoded() as Data?
let copy1 = data?.decoded() as TestStruct?
let copy2 = TestStruct.decoded(from: data)
XCTAssertEqual(copy1, test)
XCTAssertEqual(copy2, test)
