Live Edit
In its simplest form you click a button and it loads a css and recursively calls setSkin on the UI.

Singleton In Swift
Examples of singletons
class SingletonA {
static let sharedInstance = SingletonA()
init() {
println("AAA");
}
}
class TheOneAndOnlyKraken {
static let sharedInstance = TheOneAndOnlyKraken()
private init() {} //This prevents others from using the default '()' initializer for this class.
func test(){
print("hello world")
}
}
let singleton = TheOneAndOnlyKraken.sharedInstance
singleton.test()
Another singleton example:
// Creating our Singleton
class Manager {
// Declare our 'sharedI' property
static let shared = SomeManager()
// Set an initializer -
// it will only be called once
init() {
print("SomeManager initialized")
}
// Add a test function
func doSth() {
print("I'm doing something")
}
}
// The 'init' function will
// only be called the first time
Manager.shared.doSth()
Cvdisplaylink
CVDisplayLink is a timer object that allows your application to synchronize its drawing to the refresh rate of the display. ==It’s highly useful when you want to combine animation with user interactions==, something that is not easily handled by transitions or stock animations.

Asserting Class And Protocol
Great method that asserts if an instance is of a class type or of a protocol type
Chromeless Window
Customize a window with any design and behavior, everything is also animatable.
My Jekyll Workflow
As a programmer I sort and collect a lot of research, my problem has always been were do I store all this research?

Swift Regex Has No Conditional Backref
When you want to assert if a digit is a digit i used to use a simple conditional back referencing pattern.
Graphic Framework For Osx
A graphics framework built on Quartz
Dynamic Instance Creation
NOTE: it does require that each class extends the same protocol and that they have similar init method
Equality Between Protocols
Drop this in playground and your on your way:
Extracting Rgba Values From Nscolor
Extracting RGBA values from NSColor
Casting Arrays
**Casting Array to Array**
Printable Classes
This is a great way to add context to “data container classes” as it is then easy to debug all the variables in the instance
Equatable Protocol
My notes on the Equatable protocol in swift
Hand Cursor On Hover
Drop this code into any subclass of NSView, to enable the hand cursor
Dynamic Class Types In Swift
Here is a pure swift implementation of dynamic class types. It does require the classes to extend the same protocol.
Swift Doesn't Do Named Capturing Groups In Regexp
But if you combine a swift enum with RegExp matches and add ($n ) to your capture groups you can simulate named capturing groups.
A Better Drawing Routine For Quartz
In order to support GradientLine it was necessary to go all the way down to the core , namely Quartz which is part of CoreGraphics. So currently implementing a routine to support GradientLine Directly.
Drawing A Gradient Line In Osx
There are a couple of ways to do it
