Patterns

Simplifying pattern building in Swift

Patterns is a framework for building regular-expression-like matchers with native Swift data types.

Features

  • [x] Enables developers to work with Swift-friendly data types to construct and test patterns.
  • [x] Empowers developers to build readable Patterns using descriptive elements instead of raw string format.
  • [x] Gives developers the capability to use Boolean operators to combine simple patterns to form complex ones.
  • [x] Packages commonly used pattern types, including regular expressions, glob expressions, prefix matcher, suffice matcher, and everyone’s favorite XCode’s open-quickly command filter.
  • [x] Provides reusable base functionality (via protocol extensions) which can be leveraged to build your own custom pattern types.
  • [x] Facilitates describing complex patterns in easy-to-read steps
