Appwrite Swift SDK

This SDK is compatible with Appwrite server version 1.4.x. For older versions, please check previous releases.

This is the Swift SDK for integrating with Appwrite from your Swift server-side code. If you're looking for the Apple SDK you should check appwrite/sdk-for-apple

Appwrite is an open-source backend as a service server that abstract and simplify complex and repetitive development tasks behind a very simple to use REST API. Appwrite aims to help you develop your apps faster and in a more secure way. Use the Swift SDK to integrate your app with the Appwrite server to easily start interacting with all of Appwrite backend APIs and tools.

Installation

Xcode with Swift Package Manager

The Appwrite Swift SDK is available via Swift Package Manager. In order to use the Appwrite Swift SDK from Xcode, select File > Add Packages

In the dialog that appears, enter the Appwrite Swift SDK package URL in the search field. Once found, select sdk-for-apple.

On the right, select your version rules and ensure your desired target is selected in the Add to Project field.

Now click add package and you're done!

Swift Package Manager

Add the package to your Package.swift dependencies:

    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "[email protected]:appwrite/sdk-for-swift.git", from: "4.0.1"),
    ],

Then add it to your target:

    targets: [
        .target(
            name: "YourAppTarget",
            dependencies: [
                .product(name: "", package: "sdk-for-swift")
            ]
        ),

Getting Started

Init your SDK

Initialize your SDK with your Appwrite server API endpoint and project ID which can be found in your project settings page and your new API secret Key project API keys section.

import Appwrite

func main() {
    let client = Client()
        .setEndpoint("https://[HOSTNAME_OR_IP]/v1") // Your API Endpoint
        .setProject("5df5acd0d48c2") // Your project ID
        .setKey("919c2d184...a2ae413dad2") // Your secret API key
        .setSelfSigned() // Use only on dev mode with a self-signed SSL cert
}

Make Your First Request

Once your SDK object is initialized, create any of the Appwrite service objects and choose any request to send. Full documentation for any service method you would like to use can be found in your SDK documentation or in the API References section.

let users = Users(client)

do {
    let user = try await users.create(
        userId: ID.unique(), 
        email: "[email protected]", 
        password: "password"
    )
    print(String(describing: user.toMap()))
} catch {
    print(error.localizedDescription)
}

Full Example

import Appwrite

func main() {
    let client = Client()
        .setEndpoint("https://[HOSTNAME_OR_IP]/v1") // Your API Endpoint
        .setProject("5df5acd0d48c2") // Your project ID
        .setKey("919c2d18fb5d4...a2ae413da83346ad2") // Your secret API key
        .setSelfSigned() // Use only on dev mode with a self-signed SSL cert

    let users = Users(client)
    
    do {
        let user = try await users.create(
            userId: ID.unique(), 
            email: "[email protected]", 
            password: "password"
        )
        print(String(describing: user.toMap()))
    } catch {
        print(error.localizedDescription)
    }
}

Error Handling

When an error occurs, the Appwrite Swift SDK throws an AppwriteError object with message and code properties. You can handle any errors in a catch block and present the message or localizedDescription to the user or handle it yourself based on the provided error information. Below is an example.

import Appwrite

func main() {
    let users = Users(client)
    
    do {
        let users = try await users.list()
        print(String(describing: users.toMap()))
    } catch {
        print(error.localizedDescription)
    }
}
