swift-server-foundation

W3-SHELL (TEMPORARY). swift-server-foundation is dissolved (decomposition W3, 2026-07-14). This package survives as a marked re-export shell ONLY so existing manifests and the app resolve unchanged until the E-program app cutover. Do not add new consumers.

A foundation library for server-side Swift development that consolidates essential packages for building server applications.

Overview

swift-server-foundation provides a unified interface to commonly-used server development packages. Instead of managing multiple dependencies individually, this foundation package re-exports and integrates type safety, authentication, infrastructure, and utility libraries into a single import.

Features

• Type-safe domain models for email addresses, domains, and JWT
• Password validation with customizable security policies
• Cryptographic operations via Apple's Crypto framework
• Rate limiting and request throttling
• HTTP client with async/await support
• Structured logging with Apple's unified logging API
• Environment variable handling with type safety
• URL routing with internationalization support
• Declarative content builders

Installation

Add swift-server-foundation to your Package.swift dependencies:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/coenttb/swift-server-foundation.git", from: "0.0.1")
]

Quick Start

Import the foundation to access all included packages:

import ServerFoundation

// Logging
let logger = Logger(label: "com.example.app")

// HTTP Client
let client = HTTPClient(eventLoopGroupProvider: .shared(eventLoopGroup))

// JWT
let jwt = try JWT(
    payload: ["user_id": "12345"],
    signedBy: key
)

Usage

Type Safety & Domain Modeling

• EmailAddress - Type-safe email address handling
• Domain - Type-safe domain models
• JWT - JSON Web Token implementation
• PasswordValidation - Password validation policies

Security

• Crypto - Cryptographic operations and key management
• Throttling - Rate limiting for API protection

Server Infrastructure

• AsyncHTTPClient - Non-blocking HTTP client
• Logging - Unified logging API

Configuration

• EnvironmentVariables - Type-safe environment variable handling
• ServerFoundationEnvVars - Environment-specific configuration

Date & Time

• DateParsing - RFC 2822, RFC 5322, and Unix epoch parsing
• FoundationExtensions - Date manipulation and validation

Routing & Localization

• URLRouting - Type-safe URL routing
• URLRoutingTranslating - Multi-language URL patterns
• Translating - Translation and localization framework

Utilities

• Builders - Result builders for declarative syntax
• Dependencies - Dependency management
• CasePaths - Key path-like functionality for enums
• IssueReporting - Runtime issue reporting

Environment Variables

The ServerFoundationEnvVars module provides type-safe access to environment configuration:

import ServerFoundationEnvVars

// Access with defaults
let port = EnvVars.PORT.value ?? 8080

// Require value (throws if missing)
let apiKey = try EnvVars.API_KEY.require()
