Internally mutable protocol-oriented APIs
You can easily define a protocol-oriented API that can only be mutated internally, by using an internal protocol that extends a public one.
// Declare a public protocol that acts as your immutable API
public protocol ModelHolder {
associatedtype Model
var model: Model { get }
}
// Declare an extended, internal protocol that provides a mutable API
internal protocol MutableModelHolder: ModelHolder {
var model: Model { get set }
}
// You can now implement the requirements using 'public internal(set)'
public class UserHolder: MutableModelHolder {
public internal(set) var model: User
internal init(model: User) {
self.model = model
}
}
