Installation

Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

To integrate WeTransfer into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "WeTransfer/WeTransfer-Swift-SDK" ~> 2.0

Run carthage update to build the framework and drag the built WeTransfer.framework into your Xcode project.

Swift Package Manager

The Swift Package Manager is a tool for automating the distribution of Swift code and is integrated into the swift compiler.

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

Swift 4

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/Alamofire/WeTransfer-Swift-SDK.git", from: "2.0")
]

Note: Running swift test doesn’t work currently as Swift packages can’t have resources in their test targets.

Cocoapods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects.

To integrate the WeTransfer Swift SDK into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!

target '<Your Target Name>' do
    pod 'WeTransfer-Swift-SDK', '>= 2.0'
end

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Usage

Before the SDK can do anything with the WeTransfer API, it needs to be authenticated with an API key. You can create an API key at the developer portal

1. Configure the client Create a configuration with your API key

let configuration = WeTransfer.Configuration(apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY")
WeTransfer.configure(with: configuration)

2. Uploading files with a new transfer Creating a transfer and uploading files to it can be done with one method call, WeTransfer.uploadTransfer. Files in the SDK are represented by File objects, but this convenience methods expects an array of URLs pointing to files on your device. In the stateChanged closure you’re updated about things like the upload progress or whether is has completed or failed

let files = [...]
WeTransfer.uploadTransfer(saying: "Transfer Name", containing: files) { state in
    switch state {
    case .created(let transfer):
        print("Transfer created")
    case .uploading(let progress):
        print("Transfer uploading")
    case .completed(let transfer):
        print("Upload completed")
    case .failed(let error):
        XCTFail("Transfer failed: \(error.localizedDescription)")
    }
}

Sample Application

Included with the project is a neat little sample application that shows a possible use case for the SDK. It allows for photos and videos to be added to a transfer and shows the upload progress for the whole transfer, aAfter which the URL can be shared.
