davidsteppenbeck / URL

A Swift macro that provides an unwrapped URL from a string literal.

URL

URL is a freestanding Swift macro that provides an unwrapped Foundation URL for the string literal argument. The macro checks the validity of the literal and throws an error if it does not represent a valid Foundation URL.

Usage

import URL

let url = #URL("https://www.apple.com")

This will automatically generate the following code:

URL(string: "https://www.apple.com")!

Installation
