Beagle Scaffold

It’s recommended for beginners.

Requirements

Getting started

This tutorial will configure Beagle from the Start.

Step 1: Create a new app project using Xcode.

Step 2: Use pod init command in your terminal to create a Podfile and add Beagle Scaffold as a dependency to your project:

• https://cocoapods.org/pods/BeagleScaffold

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'BeagleScaffold'
end

If you’re not familiar with CocoaPods, check their documentation.

BeagleScaffold has default implementations of a Network layer, Cache and Logger for you, embedded in BeagleDefaults.

Step 3: To add Beagle configurations to your application, import the lib BeagleScaffold and just call our function named start() from the class BeagleConfig, in your SceneDelegate inside the method scene():

func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {

    BeagleConfig.start()
    guard let _ = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }
}

Step 4: Now for the last step to run the application, we’re going to do our project initialization using View Code here.

Still in the method scene, give the name windowScene to the guard let already created for us by Xcode:

guard let windowScene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }

Initialize the variable window created outside the function scope, using our windowScene:

window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)

Make the window.rootViewController our BeagleScaffoldDemoViewController and call the method makeKeyAndVisible(). Your code should be like this:

func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
    BeagleConfig.start()
    guard let windowScene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }
    window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene)
    window?.rootViewController = BeagleScaffoldDemoViewController
    window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
}

Step 5: Run your project, and you should see a sample screen with all Beagle components on your simulator.
