Example

let server = try Socket.tcpListening(port: 8090) //start socket listening at localhost:8090

let client = try Socket(.inet, type: .stream, protocol: .tcp)
try client.connect(port: 8090) //connecting to the socket at localhost:8090
let clientAtServerside = try server.accept()

let bytes = ([UInt8])("Hello World".utf8)
try clientAtServerside.write(bytes) //sening bytes to the client socket
clientAtServerside.close()

while let byte = try? client.read() { //reading bytes sent by server socket
    print(byte)
}
client.close()
server.close()

Installation

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

To integrate Socket.swift into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
target '<Your Target Name>' do
    pod 'Socket.swift', '~> 2.0'
end

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Swift Package Manager

The Swift Package Manager is a tool for automating the distribution of Swift code and is integrated into the swift compiler. It is in early development, but Socket.swift does support its use on supported platforms.

Once you have your Swift package set up, adding Socket.swift as a dependency is as easy as adding it to the dependencies value of your Package.swift.

dependencies: [
    .Package(url: "https://github.com/BiAtoms/Socket.swift.git", majorVersion: 2)
]

Manually

Just drag and drop the files in the Sources folder.
