LeftPad

This is a sample package to demonstrate adding additional metadata to a Package.swift file. It should never be used in production. I implemented a leftPad extension to String purely because of a little piece of internet history.

Implementation

The algorithm used to pad the left hand side of a string with spaces is highly complex and delicate. If you must look, please treat the information in the source file with care. With great power comes great responsibility.

Revision History

• 1.0.0 - The original, and what many consider to be the best release.
• 1.0.1 - Added a testimonial to the README file, increasing padding performance by 0%.
• 1.1.0 - Oh my, what a release this was. Swift 4.2 support, bug fixes (yes, really), and so much more.
• 2.0 - The "not really a release", release to test partial semantic version numbers.
• 2.1.0 - The "let's get LeftPad back on a semantic version" release. Also added a .spi.yml for DocC generation.
