Provide this git repository: https://github.com/ButterCMS/buttercms-swift.git.
Then set your version, e.g. 1.0.7
For CocoaPods:
Install CocoaPods if not installed already with $ brew install cocoapods
Create a Podfile in the root directory of your project with $ pod init and open your generated podfile. For example: $ open -a Xcode Podfile.
Update your podfile so it reads like the below snippet, then run $ pod install
target 'YourAppName' do
use_frameworks!
pod 'ButterCMSSDK', '1.0.7'
end
2. Initialize the SDK:
To get started with the Butter API, instantiate the ButterCMSClient with your ButterCMS API token.
// Initialize Butter client
import ButterCMSSDK
var butter = ButterCMSClient(apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY")
3. Fetch posts or pages:
All ButterCMS Single Pages and Page Types have a configurable Page schema. In order to fetch a Page via the Swift SDK, you'll need to model the Butter Page schema as a Codable Struct and pass it to the getPages API, which will allow the SDK to deserialize the page data for you.
This is different from Blog posts, which have a fixed data model. For example, to fetch all blog posts, you can use the SDK's getPosts() function:
import ButterCMSSDK
var butter = ButterCMSClient(apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY")
ButterCMSDK calls to the posts or pages API return JSON responses, like the below sample, which can be easily integrated into the framework of your choice.
