Features

Requirements

Installation

Swift Packager Manager (SPM)

Use Xcode 11 to add Thingy as a package or update your Package.swift for manual setups:

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "HelloWorld",
    dependencies: [
        .Package(url: "https://github.com/bojan/Thingy.git", "3.0.0")
    ]
)

Carthage

Add this to your Cartfile:

github "bojan/Thingy"

Manually

Add the repository as a submodule to your project.

git submodule add https://github.com/bojan/Thingy.git Vendor/Thingy

Open the newly created folder in Finder and drag Thingy.xcodeproj to your project.

In your project's settings, select your target and under General > Embedded Binaries, add the framework depending on the target OS (iOS, watchOS or tvOS).

Usage

Import the module where needed:

import Thingy

Device properties

Inspect the current device:


let myDevice = Device()

// Compare models or product families
if myDevice.family == .tv {
    print("This is an Apple TV device.")
}

if myDevice.model != .iPhoneXSMax {
    print("This is NOT an iPhone XS Max.")
}

// Pretty printed device properties

print(myDevice.family.marketingName) // e.g. iPad
print(myDevice.model.marketingName) // e.g. iPhone 7 Plus
print(myDevice.productLine.marketingName) // e.g. Air

Model comparison

let myDevice = Device()

do {
    let result = try myDevice.isEqual(to: Thingy.iPadPro12Inch)
}
catch {
    print("The devices are incompatible.")
}

do {
    let result = try myDevice.isOlder(than: Thingy.iPadPro10Inch)
}
catch {
    print("The devices are incompatible.")
}

Device size

let myDevice = Device()

if myDevice.display == .screen10_5Inch {
    print("This is the 10.5in iPad Pro.")
}
