YouTils is a powerful Android library designed to streamline and simplify app development for Kotlin developers. It provides a collection of utility extension functions for various components commonly used in Android apps. With YouTils, you can perform complex operations effortlessly, saving time and effort during the development process.

To use YouTils in your Android project, follow these steps:

1. Add the following repository to your settings.gradle file:

   settings.gradle

   dependencyResolutionManagement {
       repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
       repositories {
           google()
           mavenCentral()
           maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } // Add this line
       }
   }

2. Add the dependency to your app-level build.gradle file:

   dependencies {
       implementation 'com.prabhatpandey:youtils:1.1.0'
   }

YouTils offers an array of utility functions that can be easily accessed via Kotlin extension functions. Here's a quick example:

// Import the YouTils extensions
import dev.prabhatpandey.youtils.views.view.hide
import dev.prabhatpandey.youtils.views.view.showIf

class MyActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        // Use YouTils extension functions
        val textView = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.textView)
        
        // change the visibility of the textview to gone
        textView.hide()

        // change the visibility based on condition
        val isLoading = false
        textView.showIf(isLoading)
    }
}
