Seamless Swift components
Empower your marketing team with dynamic landing pages that align perfectly with your Swift components.
Components are the essential building blocks of any Swift app, and ButterCMS handles them with ease.
Our drag and drop interface makes it simple to structure your content to match existing Swift components, and to create new reusable components whenever you need them.
One Swift CMS with everything you need
There’s a reason so many developers are choosing a headless Swift CMS. It’s easy to set up, offers flexible, customizable content modeling, and gives you access to our full Swift API.
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") butter.getPosts(parameters: [ .preview, .excludeBody, .page(value: 1), .pageSize(value: 10) ]) { result in switch result { case .success(let posts): //Do something on success print("Count: \(posts.meta.count)") posts.data.compactMap() { print("Post: \($0.title)") } case .failure(let error): //Do something on failure print("getPost failed with Error: \(error)") } }
4. Integrate into your application.
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.
