7 1
FaceCropper is an open source library that utilizes the new iOS 11 Vision API to automatically find images within a photo from Taejun Kim
.
FaceCropper will automatically create new images containing each face found within a given image.
This snippet shows basic usage of FaceCropper:
image.face.crop { result in
switch result {
case .success(let faces):
// When the <code>Vision</code> successfully find faces, and <code>FaceCropper</code> cropped it.
// <code>faces</code> argument is a collection of cropped images.
case .notFound:
// When the image doesn't contain any face, <code>result</code> will be <code>.notFound</code>.
case .failure(let error):
// When the any error occured, <code>result</code> will be <code>failure</code>.
}
}
This image from the readme shows an image with faces extracted:
You can find FaceCropper on Github here.
A nice example of using the new vision API.

Kuery – A Swift 4 Library For Better Core Data Queries Using Smart Keypaths
Kuery is an open source Swift library for Core Data from Kishikawa Katsumi that utilizes Swift 4’s Smart Keypaths.
With Kuery you have type safety, and code completion for your queries unlike when using NSPredicate directly.
These snippets from the readme show a couple of simple queries using NSPredicate:
NSPredicate(format: "age > %@", 20)
These are the same queries with Kuery:
Query(Person.self).filter(\Person.age > 20)
You can find Kuery on Github here.
A nice way to perform Core Data queries.
