⚠️ tl;dr: This package contains low-level C APIs. You probably want icu-swift instead.
This package defines a module named ICU4C
that exposes the C API of the
ICU library to Swift.
The APIs are exposed without renaming (that is, they do not contain the library version number as a suffix); see the ICU documentation on architectural design for more information about this.
This package exposes only the raw C API; because of Swift's stricter type
conversions compared to C, it's fairly verbose to use (see the example
below). If you're reading this, you probably want the companion
icu-swift package instead, which
imports ICU4C
but wraps it in a much more convenient Swift API to use ICU
functionality.
If you really want to use the bare C API:
-
Add this package as a dependency in your
Package.swift
file.let package = Package( ..., dependencies: [ .Package(url: "https://github.com/allevato/icu4c-swift.git", majorVersion: 1, minor: 0), ] ..., )
-
Import
ICU4C
and call the C functions.import ICU4C let x: UnicodeScalar = "x" let category = u_getIntPropertyValue(Int32(bitPattern: x.value), UCHAR_GENERAL_CATEGORY) print(UInt32(bitPattern: category) == U_LOWERCASE_LETTER.rawValue) // "true"
