Eureka: What about adding Swift Package Manager support?

[funkenstrahlen]

Xcode 11 allows adding swift packages very easily. Have you thought about adding SPM support to Eureka? I could not find any old discussion about this here, therefore I would like to start one!

I personally would love to use Eureka via swift package manager. It does not support assets though. However as far as I can tell this should not be an issue for Eureka.

It is good to have this discussion. It might be worth it if several people request it. I do not have an idea of how many projects are using SPM compared to Cocoapods or Carthage.

For now, since SPM support in Xcode and for iOS/tvOS/watchOS projects has only been added in Xcode 11 beta 1, there aren't many developers using SPM, but I guess more and more are trying to adopt it since it's easy to manage and keep up-to-date.

So in short: SPM is used way less than Carthage or Cocoapods _for now_, but I think it'll change soon!

[thebluepotato]

Based on the Podspec, the main if not only obstacle is the Eureka.bundle file which can't be used with SwiftPM. I've written the Package.swift file in approximately 2 minutes, builds and tests perfectly. I just expect it to complain when the chevrons are used. PR available soon for discussion.

+1 for wanting SPM support and agree with @thebluepotato that very soon SPM will take over Carthage and Cocoapods.

[dan-hart]

I agree with @kostyan5, It's only a matter of time, and then SPM will be the dominant dependency manager.

SPM is way easier as it is integrated to Xcode, definitely needs the support for this lib

[NathanFallet]

I’m already adding my libs with SPM so it would be great to add support for it. I don’t succeed using Carthage or CocoaPods...

Any news on this?

[txaiwieser]

I saw that #1877 implements all the basic functionality, its just missing the bundle

[DanTheColoradan]

I tried Swift Package Manager today. It looks pretty good and would use if for eureka (instead of Carthage). Did this get resolved?

[nidegen]

I'd love to have it too. Couldn't we just draw the chevrons in the .bundle instead of using image files?

For me even a version without the .bundle would be ok:)

[macblazer]

Since it's just the six image files, how about base64 encoding the image data? Include the string in a source file, and base64 decode the string back into the image at runtime only when it's needed.

[nidegen]

totally agree, base64 encoding would be the easiest:)

Swift Package Manager should have resource support soon, as there was a recent swift proposal that was accepted to support resources in SPM.

Awesome if SPM gets native support. Do you have a link to the accepted proposal?

[waterskier2007]

Sorry, I was replying through email before. Here is the link to the proposal - https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0271-package-manager-resources.md

I will find the link to the acceptance post and edit this post.

on second thoughts: We don't know how long it goes until Xcode supports the newest SPM and as the drawing is fairly lightweight, I would still go for the drawing option..

[flannerykj]

Any updates on this? Would love to use SPM for Eureka.

[AndrewBennet]

I've implemented the drawing option in https://github.com/xmartlabs/Eureka/pull/1976, which removes the bundle, and makes SPM support simple.
