I built a Swift library called JustSugar to help new Swift developers coming from TypeScript. Just sugar does two things:

  1. Adds useful Array and String methods inspired by JS like .at, .slice, .join, etc.
  2. Adds all the most common JS Array and String methods to Swift, with a comment showing the Swift equivalent to use instead.
    • In this case we want to prefer the Swift method, so a deprecation warning will prompt you and shown the Swift equivalent to use instead. This is perfect for new Swift developers coming from TypeScript as a quick reference.
