✍️ About

📱 Framework that allows to get extended information about an iOS device.

📚 Features

• Device Type information
  • Easily get a device’s identifier
  • Determine if an app running on a simulator or on an actual device
  • Includes information about an each iOS device
• Device Storage status such as:
  • Total space
  • Free space
  • Used space
  • You can format the data using various units (by using ByteCountFormatter.Units)
• Device Orientation information
  • Check whether the device is in .portrait or .landscape orientation without the need to make boilerplate UIDevice.current.orientation calls & if/else checks
  • You can use isPortrait property if you’d like
• Device’s Internet Connection status
  • Super easily check whether your device is connected to the internet
  • You can get the reachability status as well

✈️ Usage

Getting device’s identifier:

let identifiers = UIDevice.current.deviceType
// `identifiers` will hold the corresponding devices' identifiers depending on your `iOS` model

Determing how much storage has left:

UIDevice.current.storageStatus.getFreeSpace(.useMB)
// Will print something like this:
// 139,197.3 MB

UIDevice.current.storageStatus.getFreeSpace(.useGB)
// Or you can change the unit type to Gigabytes:
// 139.16 GB

UIDevice.current.storageStatus.getFreeSpace(.useGB, includeUnitPostfix: false)
// If you don't want to get GB, MB postfixes then specify an optional parameter for `includeUnitPostfix`:
// 139.16

Checking the device’s orientation:

let orienation = UIDevice.current.deviceOrientation

switch orientation {
  case .portrait:
    showDrawerView()
  case .landscape:
    hideDrawerView()
}

Getting the internet connection status:

let internet = UIDevice.current.internetConnection

guard internet.connection == .open else { 
  throw NetworkError.isNotAvailabe("Missing internet connection")
}

You can always use copy-paste the sources method 😄. Or you can compile the framework and include it with your project.

📝 ToDo

• Lightweight Network reachability (with NotificationCenter support or more safer approach in observing changes)
  • NotificationCenter observer support
• Device orientation
  • NotificationCenter observer support
• Interface orientation
  • NotificationCenter observer support

🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️Contributing

• There is just one main rule for contributors - please include your extensions in separete files. It’s important since such extension can be more easily referenced and reused.
• The other soft rule is - please include unit tests with your extensions.
