Import a Pod function - Cocoapods Swift

Question

I’m starting now with Swift (Xcode 7), I did the installation of cocoapods, but wanted to know how to import the functions that exist in the pod to a new project.

Answer 1

1. Create a new project in Xcode. Close Xcode.
2. Open the terminal and navigate to the project folder
3. Digital pod init and gives enter. This will create a file called Podfile. Open this file in any editor.

4. The file structure looks something like this:

   platform :ios, '9.0'
   use_frameworks!
   
   target 'MyApp' do
   
   end
   

5. Barter 'MyApp' by the name of your app project

6. Between the do and the end, puts the libraries you want to use this way (I’ll put 3 libraries as an example):

   target 'MyApp' do
       pod 'Alamofire'
       pod 'PKRevealController'
       pod 'SwiftyJSON'
   end
   

7. Close the file, go back to the terminal and type pod install
8. When the program finishes downloading and configuring everything, it will create a file called <NomeDoSeuProjeto>.xcworkspace. Open this file. From now on, just touch the project from this Workspace. If you open the project yourself (as is usually done), the libraries won’t be there and Xcode won’t be able to build your project. A Workspace is just a project that brings together several projects in one, to make our life easier.
9. On the left side, in the projects/files tab, your project and an extra project will appear, where the libraries you downloaded will be installed.
10. Cocoapods configures the link automatically, just import the libraries (this is very important, you need to explicitly import the libraries you have installed) into your code and use normally.
11. It may happen that the Xcode does not recognize the library and emit an error when you first import it. Just give build (Command-B) that this is corrected.
