Minions

Meet "minions", single-file helpers written in Swift, reusable across multiple projects.

• each minion is a single file focused on a certain concept or utility
• duty of every minion is to provide a simple & flexible way to solve a problem
• minions are best suited for quick prototyping, learning, or making small apps

Intro

Here's a simple example:

import Minions

/// Type which encapsulates current environment info.
struct Env: CustomStringConvertible {

    /// Build configuration and custom config
    @Dependency(\.buildConfig) var buildConfig

    /// A collection of information about current device
    @Dependency(\.device) var device

    /// A mechanism to track current app version state
    @Dependency(\.version) var version
    
    /// String describing custom environment
    var description: String {
        """
        + build config \n\(buildConfig)\n
        + device info \n\(device)\n
        + app version \n\(version)\n
        """
    }

}

logWrite(Env())

which would output something like this:

+ build config
product name: MyProduct
bundle id: dev.my-product.app
bundle version: 0.1.1
bundle build: 3

+ device info
model: iPhone15,2
kind: iPhone
platform: iOS
os version: 16.2.0
simulator: true

+ app version
version: 0.1.1
history: [0.1.0]
state: update(from: 0.1.0, to: 0.1.1)

Hint: in order to use minions (or any other types) with @Dependency property wrapper as shown above, you'll need to register them first, as explained in a Dependencies minion. See also swift-greenfield project for more examples of the various minions in use.
