Kingfisher VS bypass-paywalls-chrome

The 3rd party library I use GRDB SwiftyUserDefaults Kingfisher SwiftDate Popovers

In native iOS, most people use Kingfisher, and i'd love to have something as good as that on our RN app. Perhaps just some pure JS library that you could plug on the existing image component, and that would handle the saving-to-disk and fetching of the image?

Kingfisher - Download and cache images

Make sure the proper target is selected in the Add to target in the dialog as shown above, then click Add Package button. The package should successfully be added to your project. Now following the same process, this time search for the Kingfisher package using the GitHub URL as the following https://github.com/onevcat/Kingfisher.

Kingfisher - A lightweight, pure-Swift library for downloading and caching images from the web. Language: Swift.

Urlsession is the native approach, but there are also libraries that asynchronously download and show the images like SDWebImage or Kingfisher

// swift-tools-version:5.3 // The swift-tools-version declares the minimum version of Swift required to build this package. import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "DogBreedsComponent", platforms: [.iOS(.v14)], products: [ .library( name: "DogBreedsComponent", targets: ["DogBreedsComponent"] ), ], dependencies: [ // 1. .package( name: "swift-composable-architecture", url: "https://github.com/pointfreeco/swift-composable-architecture.git", .exact("0.17.0") ), // 2. .package( name: "Kingfisher", url: "https://github.com/onevcat/Kingfisher", .exact("6.2.1") ) ], targets: [ .target( name: "DogBreedsComponent", dependencies: [ .product(name: "ComposableArchitecture", package: "swift-composable-architecture"), .product(name: "Kingfisher", package: "Kingfisher") ] ), .testTarget( name: "DogBreedsComponentTests", dependencies: [ "DogBreedsComponent", .product(name: "ComposableArchitecture", package: "swift-composable-architecture") ] ), ] )

Image loading, displaying and caching is a very similar problem and it seems there are some pretty good solutions available (e.g. Kingfisher), so I'm quite surprised that I'm struggling to find a popular/reliable/stable solution for (REST) API data.

https://github.com/onevcat/Kingfisher is one of many.

What's the relation between the Gitlab repository and the Github one? https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome

there is below extension for this purpose which I know of, I think there can be many more if we search for them

FWIW I am happy that magnolia1234 forked iamadamdev's repo. I wanted to report that barrons.com is not working with the original repo (https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome). But I could not. https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome/issues/... was giving the following notice.

An owner of this repository has limited the ability to open an issue to users that have contributed to this repository in the past.

barrons.com worked out of the box with the new repo (https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean).

It was MIT licensed until April 2020: https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome/commit/...

I don't know exactly when they forked, from the issue it looks like November 2020, so the portion of code that was unlicensed might just be their own contributions?

What a weird, overly-confrontational message from the fork's author! No need to call someone publishing work for free lazy, ignorant, not the sharpest tool in the shed etc.

Plus, the original repository isn't even licensed https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome . So magnolia1234 probably forked it illegally after copying the name (although it seems like iamadamdev doesn't mind too much).

If there's a basically what amounts to a harassment/spam campaign against iamadamdev on his own repo, no wonder the original author is not a fan of the drama and deletes irrelevant issues.
