String

public extension String

This set of extensions provides a variety of functionality for string manipulation and validation in Swift. It includes properties for obtaining modified versions of the string, properties for converting the string to coordinate or URL representations, and functions for appending or deleting path components and extensions. Additionally, there are functions for string manipulation, such as checking for digit or alphanumeric content, adding prefixes, and validating email addresses and phone numbers.

    Parameters

    ext

    The path extension to append.

    Return Value

  • Checks if the string contains only digits.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var containsOnlyDigits: Bool { get }

  • Checks if the string is alphanumeric.

  • Prepends a prefix to the string.

    Example:

      let word = "Swift"

  print(newWord) // Output: "Hello Swift"

    Parameters

    prefix

    The prefix to add.

    Return Value

    A new string with the specified prefix.

  • Checks if the string represents a valid email address.

    Return Value

    A boolean indicating whether the string is a valid email address.

  • Checks if the string represents a valid phone number.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func isPhoneNumberValid() -> Bool

    Return Value

  • Modifies the string by capitalizing its first letter.

    Example:

      var text = "hello world"
  text.capitalizeFirstLetter()
  print(text) // Output: "Hello world"

    Declaration

    Swift

    mutating func capitalizeFirstLetter()

  • To convert the words “true” or “false” to the boolean value

    Example:

     let testTrueBool = "true".boolValue // true
 let testFalseBool = "false".boolValue  // false
