SwiftRoutes

A URL Router for iOS, written in Swift, inspired by JLRoutes.

Requirements

iOS 8.0 or later.

Installation

Carthage

SwiftRoutes is compatible with Carthage. Add it to your Cartfile:

github "takecian/SwiftRoutes"

Cocoapods

SwiftRoutes is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod "SwiftRoutes"

Usage

1. Register route(URL) and handler.
2. Call routeUrl with URL.
3. SwiftRoutes fire a handler that matched.

SwiftRoutes.addRoute(URL(string: "http://yourdomain.com/users/")!) { (params) -> Bool in
	let viewController = SomeViewController()
	navigationController.pushViewController(viewController, animated: true)
    return true
}

SwiftRoutes.routeUrl(URL(string: "http://yourdomain.com/users/")!))

The Parameters Dictionary

SwiftRoutes provides parameters as Dictionary from following data.

• a part of url (Developer can specify name wit prefix :)
• Query String

SwiftRoutes.addRoute(URL(string: "http://yourdomain.com/users/:userid")!) { (params) -> Bool in
	let viewController = SomeViewController()
	let userId = params["userid"]   <- userId is "1234"
	let name = params["name"]   <- name is "testname"
	viewController.userid = userId
	navigationController.pushViewController(viewController, animated: true)
    return true
}

SwiftRoutes.routeUrl(URL(string: "http://yourdomain.com/users/1234?name=testname")!))

Practical example - Use SwiftRoutes for UIApplicationShortcutItem

This example shows how to perform UIApplicationShortcutItem using SwiftRoutes.

1. Define UIApplicationShortcutItem in info.plist

Here, two UIApplicationShortcutItems are defined. ShortcutItemType has url to be handled.

	...
	<key>UIApplicationShortcutItems</key>
	<array>
		<dict>
			<key>UIApplicationShortcutItemIconFile</key>
			<string>Home</string>
			<key>UIApplicationShortcutItemTitle</key>
			<string>Home</string>
			<key>UIApplicationShortcutItemType</key>
			<string>/home</string>
			<key>UIApplicationShortcutItemUserInfo</key>
			<dict>
				<key>key1</key>
				<string>value1</string>
			</dict>
		</dict>
		<dict>
			<key>UIApplicationShortcutItemIconFile</key>
			<string>Setting</string>
			<key>UIApplicationShortcutItemTitle</key>
			<string>Setting</string>
			<key>UIApplicationShortcutItemType</key>
			<string>/setting</string>
			<key>UIApplicationShortcutItemUserInfo</key>
			<dict>
				<key>key1</key>
				<string>value1</string>
			</dict>
		</dict>
	</array>
	...

2. Define Route Handler

Define route and handler at app launches.

class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
    func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {

    	// Define routing
 		SwiftRoutes.addRoute(URL(string: "/home")!) { (params) -> Bool in
            self.window.rootViewController.moveToHome()  // pseudo code
            return true
        }

        SwiftRoutes.addRoute(URL(string: "/setting")!) { (params) -> Bool in
            self.window.rootViewController.moveSetting() // pseudo code
            return true
        }
    }
}

3. Handle routes

Just put SwiftRoutes.routeUrl(_) in application(application:performActionForShortcutItem:completionHandler) and pass return value of SwiftRoutes.routeUrl(_) into completionHandler(_).

@available(iOS 9.0, *)
func application(application: UIApplication, performActionForShortcutItem shortcutItem: UIApplicationShortcutItem, completionHandler: (Bool) -> Void) {
        let val = SwiftRoutes.routeUrl(URL(string: shortcutItem.type)!)
        completionHandler(val)
}
