Bytes

Bytes is a [UInt8]-backed struct meant to represent small sequences of bytes and can be used for things like binary headers, identifiers, random bytes, etc. The string representation for Bytes is a hex encoded String.

Usage

struct Key: Hashable {
    let name: String
    let bytes: Bytes

    init(name: String) {
        self.bytes = Bytes.random()
        self.name = name
    }

    init(name: String, bytes: Bytes) {
        self.bytes = bytes
        self.name = name
    }
}

let important = Key(name: "Important", bytes: Bytes(rawValue: [101, 42, 101]))
let random = Key(name: "Random")

// ...
