ManipulationPlus

Manipulation+

The Manipulation+ provide a set of Swift operators to simplify object manipulation operations.

Usage

Chain Use Operator ..

The .. operator allows you to use the given object as an argument to a closure and returns the same object. This is particularly useful during initialization or when chaining multiple operations.

// Example Usage:
UIWindow(rootViewController: MyViewController() .. { vc in
    vc.customProperty = "Some Value"
})

Without the .. operator, you would typically initialize the object first, then modify its properties separately:

// Traditional Approach:
let vc = MyViewController()
vc.customProperty = "Some Value"
UIWindow(rootViewController: vc)

You may also use the $0 notation to omit the argument:

// Omitting Argument:
MyViewController() .. { $0.customProperty = "Some Value" }

Transform Operator >->

The >-> operator allows you to use the given object as an argument to a closure and optionally return a different object. This is particularly useful when you need to transform the object or obtain specific properties from it.

// Example Usage:
let side = UIScreen.main.bounds >-> { min($0.width, $0.height) }

By using the >-> operator, you can reduce chaining and variable creation, making your code more concise and readable.
