let remoteModule = RemoteP2PModule(baseUrl: NSURL(string: "http://www.example.com")!, dispatchQueue: DispatchQueue.main)
// 2. Create a LocalPeer and pass an array of modules
let localPeer = LocalPeer(modules: [wlanModule], dispatchQueue: DispatchQueue.main)
// 3. Start the LocalPeer
localPeer.start(
  onPeerDiscovered: { peer in 
    print("Discovered peer: \(peer)") 
  },

Caching / Networking

KingFisher

Moya

Network abstraction layer written in Swift https://moya.github.io

provider = MoyaProvider<GitHub>()
provider.request(.zen) { result in
    switch result {
    case let .success(moyaResponse):
        let data = moyaResponse.data
        let statusCode = moyaResponse.statusCode
        // do something with the response data or statusCode
    case let .failure(error):
        // this means there was a network failure - either the request
        // wasn't sent (connectivity), or no response was received (server
        // timed out).  If the server responds with a 4xx or 5xx error, that
        // will be sent as a ".success"-ful response.
    }
}

// Reactive Extensions
provider = MoyaProvider<GitHub>()
provider.reactive.request(.userProfile("ashfurrow")).start { event in
    switch event {
    case let .value(response):
        image = UIImage(data: response.data)
    case let .failed(error):
        print(error)
    default:
        break
    }
}

provider = MoyaProvider<GitHub>()
provider.rx.request(.userProfile("ashfurrow")).subscribe { event in
    switch event {
    case let .success(response):

    case let .error(error):
        print(error)
    }
}

let home = Path("~")
let drive: Path = "/Volumes/Macintosh HD"
let file:  Path = "~/Desktop/file\(1)"

try Path(".gitignore").createFile()

// You can find all paths with the ".txt" extension five folders deep into the Desktop with:
let textFiles = Path.userDesktop.find(searchDepth: 5) { path in
    path.pathExtension == "txt"
}

// Iterating Through Paths

for download in Path.userDownloads {
    print("Downloaded file: \(download)")
}

extension DefaultsKeys {
    static let username = DefaultsKey<String?>("username")
    static let launchCount = DefaultsKey<Int>("launchCount")
}

// Get and set user defaults easily
let username = Defaults[.username]
Defaults[.hotkeyEnabled] = true

// Modify value types in place
Defaults[.launchCount] += 1
Defaults[.volume] -= 0.1
Defaults[.strings] += "… can easily be extended!"

// Use and modify typed arrays
Defaults[.libraries].append("SwiftyUserDefaults")
Defaults[.libraries][0] += " 2.0"

Coding Patterns

        if query.isEmpty {
            return .just([])

}.then {

    return animate()
}.ensure {
    cleanup()
}.catch {
    handle(error: $0)
}
class MyRestAPI {
    func avatar() -> Promise<UIImage> {
        let bgq = DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated)

        return firstly {
            user()
        }.then(on: bgq) { user in
            URLSession.shared.dataTask(.promise, with: user.imageUrl)
        }.compactMap(on: bgq) {
            UIImage(data: $0)
        }
    }
}
