Dollar is a Swift library that provides useful functional programming helper methods without extending any built in objects. It is similar to Lo-Dash or Underscore.js in Javascript.
Cent is a library that extends certain Swift object types using the extension feature and gives its two cents to Swift language.

Using Carthage
Add github "ankurp/Dollar.swift" ~> 3.0.0 to your Cartfile and run carthage update. If unfamiliar with Carthage then checkout their Getting Started section or this sample app
Using cocoapods version 0.36.1
Add pod 'Dollar' to your Podfile and run pod install. Add use_frameworks! to the end of the Podfile. Also checkout this sample app. Requires cocoapod version 0.36.1.
- If you are using git then add Dollar as a submodule using
git submodule add https://github.com/ankurp/Dollar.swift.git. If not using git download the project usinggit clone https://github.com/ankurp/Dollar.swift.gitin your project folder. - Open the Dollar.swift folder. Drag Dollar.xcodeproj, inside the Dollar folder, into the file navigator of your Xcode project.
- In Xcode, navigate to the target configuration window by clicking on the blue project icon, and selecting the application target under the "Targets" heading in the sidebar.
- In the tab bar at the top of that window, open the "Build Phases" panel.
- Expand the "Link Binary with Libraries" group, and add Dollar.framework.
- In your project file
import Dollarand you can call all of the helper functions.
Still stuck. Then checkout this screencast on how to import
Use version 2.2.0 or older for Xcode 6.1 and 6.2.

(1...5).eachWithIndex { (a: Int) -> () in print("\(a)") }
=> 12345For each index in the range invoke the callback
(1...5).each { print("Na") }
=> "NaNaNaNaNa"If you are interested in contributing checkout CONTRIBUTING.md
- Add more extention functions to the Cent library
- Benchmark and improve performance if applicable
If you are interested only in pure functional programming import Dollar otherwise import Cent which includes extensions for certain object type such as Array for now but more will be added.
