swift-artifact-parser

Overview

ArtifactParser is a Swift library designed to utilize .binaryTargets from an artifact bundle file. This library enables executable targets to run compiled binaries, a capability currently only built for Swift plugins.

Features

• Artifact Parsing: Seamlessly leverage artifact bundles for your Swift executables using the ArtifactParser library.
• Binary Target Integration: Enhance the functionality and efficiency of your Swift packages by utilizing binary targets.
• Ease of Use: Simplified integration with clear, concise documentation to help you get started quickly.

Installation

To integrate swift-artifact-parser into your project, add it to your Package.swift file:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/21-DOT-DEV/swift-artifact-parser", exact: "0.0.1")
]

Usage

To use the ArtifactParser library in your Swift package, follow these steps:

1. Import the Library: Import the ArtifactParser module in your Swift files where you need to use its functionality.

   import ArtifactParser

2. Add the Binary Target: Update your Package.swift file to include the .binaryTarget definition for the binary you want to use. Here’s an example setup:

   // swift-tools-version: 5.6
   import PackageDescription
   
   let package = Package(
       name: "ExamplePackage",
       products: [
           .executable(name: "ExampleCLI", targets: ["ExampleCLI"])
       ],
       dependencies: [
           .package(url: "https://github.com/21-DOT-DEV/swift-artifact-parser", exact: "0.0.1")
       ],
       targets: [
           .executableTarget(
               name: "ExampleCLI",
               dependencies: [
                   .product(name: "ArtifactParser", package: "swift-artifact-parser")
               ]
           ),
           .binaryTarget(
               name: "lefthook",
               url: "https://github.com/csjones/lefthook-plugin/releases/download/1.6.18/lefthook.artifactbundle.zip",
               checksum: "4feb5c77ce2375bfecddeefc51a0f5ada270257a0904605721c7fc374ffb26c6"
           )
       ]
   )

3. Get the Path to the Binary: Use the ArtifactParser to get the path to the binary in your executable target.

   import ArtifactParser
   import Foundation
   
   @main
   struct ExampleCLI {
       static func main() {
           // Get arguments that were passed into this executable and will be forwarded to lefthook as args.
           let lefthookArgs = Array(ProcessInfo.processInfo.arguments.dropFirst())
   
           // Get the current directory name to use as the repository name for finding the binary.
           guard let currentDirectory = FileManager.default.currentDirectoryPath.components(separatedBy: "/").last,
                 let binaryPath = ArtifactParser.getPathToBinary(
                   binaryName: "lefthook",
                   repositoryName: currentDirectory
                 ) else {
               print("Error: Unable to find lefthook binary. Unable to run lefthook.")
               exit(1)
           }
   
           // Run lefthook binary with the arguments that were passed into this executable.
           let process = Process()
           process.executableURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/usr/bin/env")
           process.arguments = [binaryPath] + lefthookArgs
   
           do {
               try process.run()
               process.waitUntilExit()
           } catch {
               print("Error running process: \(error)")
           }
       }
   }

4. Refer to Examples: Check the "Examples" directory in the repository for a complete package that integrates the ArtifactParser library. This will help you understand how to set up and use the library effectively in a real-world scenario.

Example Project

You can find a complete example project in the "Examples" directory of the repository. This example demonstrates how to set up a Swift package that uses the ArtifactParser library to manage and execute binaries from an artifact bundle.

To get started with the example:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/21-DOT-DEV/swift-artifact-parser

2. Navigate to the "Examples" directory:

   cd swift-artifact-parser/Examples

3. Open the example project:

   open Package.swift

4. Follow the instructions in the example project's README to build and run the example.
