⏰🇬🇧 Telling the time in a British English way

This package contains two libraries that converts a clock time like "7:00" to its spoken British version, like "It's sevent o'clock.".

Usage

import SwiftPastTen

var britishTime: String?

// O'clock hours
britishTime = try? SwiftPastTen.live(time: "7:00")
print(britishTime) // Optional("It's seven o'clock.")

// O'clock in the afternoon
britishTime = try? SwiftPastTen.live(time: "14:00")
print(britishTime) // Optional("It's two o'clock in the afternoon.")

// To/Past Fivish minutes like Five, Ten, Twenty and Twenty-five minutes
britishTime = try? SwiftPastTen.live(time: "6:40")
print(britishTime) // Optional("It's twenty to seven AM.")

// Non fivish minutes is read X (hours) Y (minutes) AM/PM
britishTime = try? SwiftPastTen.live(time: "19:19")
print(britishTime) // Optional("It's seven nineteen PM.")

// To/Past Quarter and Half
britishTime = try? SwiftPastTen.live(time: "9:15")
print(britishTime) // Optional("It's quarter past nine AM.")

// Midnight
britishTime = try? SwiftPastTen.live(time: "00:00")
print(britishTime) // Optional("It's midnight.")
britishTime = try? SwiftPastTen.live(time: "23:45")
print(britishTime) // Optional("It's quarter to midnight.")

You can easily convert a Date to a formatted time that could be converted with formattedDate

import Foundation
import SwiftPastTen

// 01:11
let date = Date(timeIntervalSince1970: 4300)
var calendar = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian)
calendar.timeZone = TimeZone(secondsFromGMT: 0) ?? calendar.timeZone

let time = SwiftPastTen.formattedDate(date, calendar: calendar)
let tellTime = try? SwiftPastTen.live(time: time)
print(tellTime) // Optional("It's one eleven")

Point-Free Dependencies usage

Add @Dependency(\.tellTime) var tellTime in your Reducer, you will have access to all functions mentioned above.

Example

import ComposableArchitecture
import Foundation
import SwiftPastTenDependency

public struct BritishTime: ReducerProtocol {
    public struct State: Equatable {
        public var tellTime = ""
        
        public init(tellTime: String = "") {
            self.tellTime = tellTime
        }
    }

    public enum Action: Equatable {
        case tellTime(Date)
    }

    @Dependency(\.calendar) var calendar
    @Dependency(\.tellTime) var tellTime

    public init() {}

    public var body: some ReducerProtocol<State, Action> {
        Reduce { state, action in
            switch action {
            case let .tellTime(date):
                let time = SwiftPastTen.formattedDate(date, calendar: calendar)
                state.tellTime = (try? tellTime(time: time)) ?? ""
                return .none
        }
    }
}

Installation

Xcode

You can add SwiftPastTen to an Xcode project by adding it as a package dependency.

  1. From the File menu, select Swift Packages › Add Package Dependency...
  2. Enter "https://github.com/renaudjenny/swift-past-ten" into the package repository URL test field
  3. Select one of the library that you are interested in. See above

As package dependency

Edit your Package.swift to add one of the library you want among the two available.

let package = Package(
    ...
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/renaudjenny/swift-past-ten", from: "1.1.0"),
        ...
    ],
    targets: [
        .target(
            name: "<Your project name>",
            dependencies: [
                .product(name: "SwiftPastTen", package: "swift-past-ten"), // <-- Basic version
                .product(name: "SwiftPastTenDependency", package: "swift-past-ten"), // <-- Point-Free Dependencies library wrapper
            ]),
        ...
    ]
)
