CiboKit

A simple and lightweight resturant finder using the Yelp API

What is CiboKit?

CiboKit is used in our app, Allike, to find nearby restaurants using Swift’s concurrency. It is built modularly to support alternative APIs and makes searching these APIs for resturants super simple and easy. In just a few lines of code, you can search for dozens of nearby restaurants asynchronously (non-asynchronous functions are also available).

Cibo comes from the Italian word for food.

Usage

Initialize the framework using the Yelp API. You can create an app and get credentials for Yelp here.

let cibo = Cibo(.yelp(clientID: "INSERT_CLIENT_ID",
                            apiKey: "INSERT_API_KEY"))

This is a variadic function, so you can supply multiple credentials at once.

WARNING: Do not supply multiple credentials for the same service

You can use multiple services with the same Cibo instance. Just go through the specific service you want, for example, with Yelp you would use cibo.yelp?.search.

Available services

• Yelp – yelp?
• Default – default! (if you aren't sure the Cibo instance has any credentials, be sure to unwrap this)

Then you can use this object to search.

Asynchronously

try await cibo.default.search(.food,
                      coordinates: Coordinates(latitude: 0,
                                               longitude: 0),
                      radius: 40000,
                      limit: 50)
// or to use default values based on the API
try await cibo.default.search(coordinates: Coordinates(latitude: 0,
                                               longitude: 0))

Synchronously

cibo.default.search(coordinates: Coordinates(latitude: 0,
                                     longitude: 0)) { result in
    switch result {
    case .success(let locations):
        // Got locations
    case .failure(let error):
        // Failed somewhere
    }
}

Use in SwiftUI

You can add the Cibo object as an environment variable to SwiftUI views.

@Environment(\.cibo) var cibo

view.environment(\.cibo, cibo)

Installation

Add it as a Swift Package
