Meet Substring
🏵 Introduction
Substring is a tiny library allows you to substring without boilerplate, verbose and complex code.
The strings management of Swift is one of the most painful feature ever:
let string = "Substring API sucks!"
let start = string.index(string.startIndex, offsetBy: 1)
let end = string.index(string.startIndex, offsetBy: 6)
let substring = String(string[start..<end])No! Stop it!
Now with this tiny library called Substring, you can simplly do this:
let substring = string[1..<6].stringOr this, if you prefer:
let substring = string.substring(in: 1..<6).stringLearn more.

print(string.substring(at: 1).string, string[1].string) // "_"
print(string.substring(to: 4).string, string[...4].string) // "A_Exa"
print(string.substring(from: 2).string, string[2...].string) // "Example_String"
print(string.substring(before: 5).string, string[..<5].string) // "A_Exa"
print(string.substring(in: 2...5).string, string[2...5].string) // "Exam"
print(string.substring(in: 2..<5).string, string[2..<5].string) // "Exa"
// ...
