UICocoa ☕️

Just a bunch of typealeases for the AppKit in Cocoa.

Usage

Just import UICocoa instead of import Cocoa (or AppKit).

In OSX development:

Gives an abitily to use UI prefixed equivalents of NS prefixed classes from the AppKit.

(Only for classes, with UIKit equivalents)

In iOS development

Includes CoreData export, just like Cocoa, so import UICocoa already contains import CoreData and there is no need to code twice.

In frameworks development

Makes the development of cross-platform UI frameworks a little bit easier, reduces the amount of boilerplate code.

Example

Replace this

#if os(iOS)
import UIKit

extension UIView {
  
    func roundCorners(by value: CGFloat) {
        layer.cornerRadius = value
    }
  
}

#elseif os(OSX)
import AppKit // or Cocoa

extension NSView {
  
    func roundCorners(by value: CGFloat) {
        layer.cornerRadius = value
    }
  
}

#endif

with this

import UICocoa

extension UIView {
  
    func roundCorners(by value: CGFloat) {
        layer.cornerRadius = value
    }
  
}
