Nimiq Swift Client

Swift implementation of the Nimiq RPC client specs.

Usage

Send requests to a Nimiq node with NimiqClient object.

let config = Config(
    scheme: "http",
    host: "127.0.0.1",
    port: 8648,
    user: "luna",
    password: "moon"
)

let client = NimiqClient(config: config)

Once the client have been set up, we can call the methodes with the appropiate arguments to make requests to the Nimiq node.

When no config object is passed in the initialization it will use defaults for the Nimiq node.

let client = NimiqClient()

// make rpc call to get the block number
let blockNumber = client.blockNumber()

print(blockNumber) // displays the block number, for example 748883

API

The complete API documentation is available in the /docs folder.

Installation

Swift Package Manager

The recommended way to install Nimiq Swift Client is via Swift Package Manager (SPM). SPM is a dependency management tool built-in in Xcode that allows you to add Swift packages as dependencies directly from the IDE.

From your project or workspace on Xcode Go to File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency. If it's a workspace select the project to include de package dependency in. Then enter this package's repository URL (like this https://github.com/rraallvv/NimiqClientSwift). Select a version number from thos available for the pacakge and click next. Then select the product target to include the dependency in.

CocoaPods

Alternatively, you can install Nimiq Swift Client using CocoaPods. CocoaPods is a command line interface dependency management tool for Xcode projects.

Install CocoaPods if you haven't done so:

# Install CocoaPods
$ sudo gem install cocoapods

To enable CocoaPods in your project, close Xcode and in your project directory run:

$ pod init

Then you can add Nimiq Swift Client as a dependency modifying the created Podfile. To open the file for editing run open -a Xcode Podfile from the command line and the edit the file like so:

target "MyApp" do
    pod 'NimiqClient'
end

Finally install all the dependencies using CocoaPods from the command line:

pod install

You can find out more on how to install CocoaPods and how to configure your Xcode project for installing dependencies at CocoaPods.org.
