DocumentKit is an SDK that adds more capabilities to DocumentGroup
-based SwiftUI apps.
DocumentGroup
-based apps are in general quite limited when it comes to customization. For instance, you can't add custom items to the document browser toolbar.
Also, since a DocumentGroup
has no view until you open a document, you can't present any initial onboarding screens or modals from it.
DocumentKit makes it easy to do all these things, to let you create a better user experience for your document-based apps.
DocumentKit can be installed with the Swift Package Manager:
https://github.com/danielsaidi/DocumentKit.git
DocumentKit extends DocumentGroup
with modifiers that let you add custom toolbar items, customize the document browser etc.:
@main
struct MyApp: App {
var body: some Scene {
DocumentGroup(newDocument: DemoDocument()) { file in
ContentView(document: file.$document)
}
.additionalNavigationBarButtonItems(
leading: [...],
trailing: [...]
)
.allowsDocumentCreation(true)
.allowsPickingMultipleItems(true)
.showFileExtensions(true)
.onboardingSheet {
MyOnboardingScreen()
}
.splashSheet {
MySplashScreen()
}
}
}
DocumentKit also extends DocumentGroup
with modifiers that let you present onboarding modals and splash screens when the app launches, lets you inspect the underlying document browser, etc.
For more information, please see the getting started guide.
The online documentation has more information, articles, code examples, etc.
The demo app lets you explore the library with iOS. To try it out, just open and run the Demo
project.
