Combining lazily evaluated sequences with the builder pattern
Combining lazily evaluated sequences with builder pattern-like properties can lead to some pretty sweet APIs for configurable sequences in Swift.
Also useful for queries and other things you "build up" and then execute.
// Extension adding builder pattern-like properties that return
// a new sequence value with the given configuration applied
extension FileSequence {
var recursive: FileSequence {
var sequence = self
sequence.isRecursive = true
return sequence
}
var includingHidden: FileSequence {
var sequence = self
sequence.includeHidden = true
return sequence
}
}
// BEFORE
let files = folder.makeFileSequence(recursive: true, includeHidden: true)
// AFTER
let files = folder.files.recursive.includingHidden
