    .package(url: "https://github.com/JanyGee/JGString.git", from: "1.0.2")
]

Then add "JGString" to your target dependencies.

CocoaPods

pod "JGString"

Usage

import JGString

"<a>foo</a>".between(left: "<a>", "</a>")    // "foo"
"background-color".camelize()               // "backgroundColor"
"Crème brûlée".slugify()                    // "creme-brulee"
", ".join(elements: [1, 2, 3])              // "1, 2, 3"
"  hello   world  ".collapseWhitespace()    // "hello world"
"The Weekend &#8216;King&#8217;".decodeHTML() // "The Weekend ‘King’"

Available Helpers

The extension includes helpers for:

  • extracting content, searching, and prefix/suffix handling
  • casing, slug generation, whitespace cleanup, and punctuation stripping
  • initials, line splitting, padding, and repeated strings
  • numeric, boolean, and date conversion
  • HTML entity decoding

The most accurate behavioral reference is the test suite in Tests/JGStringTests/JGStringTests.swift.

Development

Run the package tests with:

swift test

"2.00".toDouble() // 2.0 "2".toDouble() // 2.0


**trimmedLeft()**
```swift
"        How are you? ".trimmedLeft() // "How are you? "

trimmedRight()

" How are you?   ".trimmedRight() // " How are you?"

trimmed()

"    How are you?   ".trimmed() // "How are you?"

slugify()

"Global Thermonuclear Warfare".slugify() // "global-thermonuclear-warfare"
"Crème brûlée".slugify() // "creme-brulee"

stripPunctuation()

"My, st[ring] *full* of %punct)".stripPunctuation() // "My string full of punct"

substring(startIndex, length)

"hello world".substring(startIndex: 0, length: 1) // "h"
"hello world".substring(startIndex: 0, length: 11) // "hello world"

[subscript]

""hello world"[0..<2] == "he"" // "he"
""hello world"[0..<1] == "h"" // "h"
""hello world"[0] == "h""
""hello world"[0..<11] == "hello world"" // "hello world"
