Add section on using library in Swift #26
Conversation
|
This is a starting point for documenting "Getting Started" with this library using Swift. The section is somewhat large, so I wonder if it wouldn't be better to include an entire demo project for Swift with this README content instead. Either way, let me know. |
- Contains a full working example that should work out of the box.

| This module can then be imported and used from inside the application. However, the only challenge is dealing with C-style strings that are typically utf8 and are null terminated, so they require a bit of extra support for translation in Swift. | ||

I guess it will get easier if we have a C++ binding header with std::string

@xtremekforever I will merge #27 once the build passes. If you could copy over the content to the Swift stub and reference it from README, it would be appreciated! |

@oleg-nenashev updated the pull request with the latest from testcontainers-c main and moved all the content for Swift to docs/swift/README.md! |
This adds some documentation on how to get started using the testcontainers-c library in Swift.
What does this PR do?
Describes with examples on how to setup a CTestContainers module in Swift that imports the
testcontainers-cheader and library, and shows off how to run the generic wiremock demo in Swift as well.Why is it important?
Users of Swift may be interested in using this library in the future as it develops. This gives a good idea of how to use it without having to be an expert in C interop.
