VaporExt

VaporExt is a collection of Swift extensions, with handy methods, syntactic sugar, and performance improvements for wide range of Vapor types and classes.

Requirements:

• Swift 4.1+

Installation

You can use <a href="https://swift.org/package-manager">The Swift Package Manager</a> to install <code>VaporExt</code> by adding the proper description to your <code>Package.swift</code> file:

What is included?

The extensions are grouped in 3 modules, AsyncExt, FluentExt and ServiceExt, and the VaporExt which acts as a helper to export the extensions included in the previous packages.

AsyncExt

• New Future methods:
  • true(or error:)
  • false(or error:)
  • greater(than value:)
  • greater(than value:, or error:)
  • greaterOrEqual(to value:)
  • greaterOrEqual(to value:, or error:)
  • less(than value:)
  • less(than value:, or error:)
  • lessOrEqual(to value:)
  • lessOrEqual(to value:, or error:)
  • equal(to value:)
  • equal(to value:, or error:)
  • notEqual(to value:)
  • notEqual(to value:, or error:)

FluentExt

• New Model functions:
  • query(by:, on:, withSoftDeleted:) to create a query for the model and apply a filter of criteria.
  • findAll(sortBy:, on:, withSoftDeleted:) to find all models and apply some sorting criteria.
  • find(by:, sortBy:, on:, withSoftDeleted:) to find models and apply some filters and sorting criteria.
  • findOne(by:, on:, withSoftDeleted:) to find first model that matches the filters criteria.
  • count(on:, withSoftDeleted:) to count the number of registers of the model.
  • count(by:, on:, withSoftDeleted:) to count the number of registers of the model that matches some criteria.
• New Binary operators:
  • !~= for not has suffix comparison.
  • !=~ for not has prefix comparison.
  • !~~ for not contains comparison.
• New filter methods:
  • filter(keyPath:, at parameter:, on req:) to handle automatic filters based in query params.
• New sort methods:
  • sort(keyPath:, at queryParam:, as parameter:, default direction:, on req:) to handle automatic sorting based in query params.
  • sort(keyPath:, as parameter:, default direction:, on req:) to handle automatic sorting based in query params.
  • sort(by:) to apply some sorting criteria.
• New Request extensions to build FilterOperator and QuerySort from query params (Usefull if you use a Repository system):
  • filter(keyPath:, at parameter:) to build FilterOperator based in query params.
  • sort(keyPath:, at queryParam:, as parameter:) to build QuerySort based in query params.
  • sort(keyPath:, at queryParam:, as parameter:, default direction:) to build QuerySort based in query params.
  • sort(keyPath:, as parameter:) to build QuerySort based in query params.
  • sort(keyPath:, as parameter:, default direction:) to build QuerySort based in query params.

Query params syntax for filters:

You can set the filter method with this format parameter=method:value and the new filter method will build the filter based on the method, example:

• username=example@domain.com or username=eq:example@domain.com will use equal comparison.
• username=neq:example@domain.com will use not equal comparison.
• username=in:example@domain.com,other@domain.com will use in comparison.
• username=nin:example@domain.com,other@domain.com will use not in comparison.
• price=gt:3000 will use greater than comparison.
• price=gte:3000 will use greater than or equal comparison.
• price=lt:3000 will use less than comparison.
• price=lte:3000 will use less than or equal comparison.
• username=sw:example will filter using starts with comparison.
• username=nsw:example will filter using not starts with comparison.
• username=ew:domain.com will filter using ends with comparison.
• username=new:domain.com will filter using not ends with comparison.
• username=ct:domain.com will filter using contains comparison.
• username=nct:domain.com will filter using not contains comparison.

return try User.query(on: req)
            .filter(\User.username, at: "username", on: req)
            .filter(\User.enabled, at: "enabled", on: req)
            .filter(\User.createdAt, at: "created_at", on: req)
            .filter(\User.updatedAt, at: "updated_at", on: req)
            .filter(\User.deletedAt, at: "deleted_at", on: req)

Query params syntax for sorting:

You can set the sorts methods with this format sort=field:direction,field:direction and the new sort method will build the query based on that configuration, for example

• With sort=username:asc,created_at:desc you can get you users sorted by username with ASC direction and firstname in DESC direction

return try User.query(on: req)
            .sort(\User.username, as: "username", on: req)
            .sort(\User.createdAt, as: "created_at", default: .ascending, on: req) // if created_at is not present in the url, then the sort is applied using the default direction

Request extensions example:

func index(_ req: Request) throws -> Future<[User]> {
    let repository = try req.make(UserRepository.self)

    let criteria: [FilterOperator<User.Database, User>] = try [
        req.filter(\User.name, at: "name"),
        req.filter(\User.username, at: "username"),
        req.filter(\User.enabled, at: "enabled")
    ].compactMap { $0 }

    var sort: [User.Database.QuerySort] = try [
        req.sort(\User.name, as: "name"),
        req.sort(\User.username, as: "username"),
        req.sort(\User.createdAt, as: "created_at"),
    ].compactMap { $0 }

    if sort.isEmpty {
        let defaultSort = try req.sort(\User.name, as: "name", default: .ascending)
        sort.append(defaultSort)
    }

    return repository.findBy(criteria: criteria, orderBy: sort, on: req)
}

ServiceExt

• New Enviroment methods:
  • New method dotenv(filename:) to add .envsupport!
  • New generic get(_ key:) method to get values as Int and Bool
  • New generic get(_ key:, _ fallback:) method to get values as Int and Bool and String, with a fallback values

VaporExt

• New Future methods:
  • new toResponse(on req:, as status:, contentType:) to transform a Future<Encodable> to a Future<Response>
