Robin is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile.

pod 'Robin', '~> 0.1.1'

For Swift 3, use:

pod 'Robin', '0.1.0'

import Robin

Before using Robin, you need to request permission to send notifications to users. The following requests badge, sound, and alert permissions.

Robin.shared.requestAuthorization(forOptions: [.badge, .sound, .alert])

Robin.shared.requestAuthorization()

Scheduling iOS notifications via Robin is carried over by manipulating RobinNotification objects. To create a RobinNotification object, simply call its initializer.

init(identifier: String = default, body: String, date: Date = default)

Example notification, with a unique identifier, to be fired an hour from now.

let notification = RobinNotification(body: "A notification", date: Date().next(hours: 1))

next(minutes:), next(hours:), and next(days:) are part of a Date extension.

The following table summarizes all RobinNotification properties.

[1] identifier is read-only after RobinNotification is initialized.

[2] To add and remove keys in userInfo, use setUserInfo(value: Any, forKey: AnyHashable) and removeUserInfoValue(forKey: AnyHashable) respectively.

After creating a RobinNotification object, it can be scheduled using schedule(notification:).

let scheduledNotification = Robin.shared.schedule(notification: notification)

Now scheduledNotification is a valid RobinNotification object if it is successfully scheduled or nil otherwise.

Simply retrieve a scheduled notification by calling notification(withIdentifier: String) -> RobinNotification?.

let scheduledNotification = Robin.shared.notification(withIdentifier: "identifier")

To cancel a notification, either call cancel(notification: RobinNotification) or cancel(withIdentifier: String)

Robin.shared.cancel(notification: scheduledNotification)

Robin.shared.cancel(withIdentifier: scheduledNotification.identifier)

Robin allows you to cancel all scheduled notifications by calling cancelAll()

Robin.shared.cancelAll()

Robin is preset to allow 60 notifications to be scheduled by iOS. The remaining four slots are kept for the app-defined notifications. These free slots are currently not handled by Robin; if you use Robin to utilize these slots, the notifications will be discarded. To change the maximum allowed, just update Robin.maximumAllowedNotifications.

Robin can handle multiple notifications, having the same identifier, scheduled on iOS versions prior to iOS 10 only. Scheduling multiple notifications with the same identifier on iOS 10+ is not allowed.
