Referring to enum cases with associated values as closures
Basics article available: EnumsJust like you can refer to a Swift function as a closure, you can do the same thing with enum cases with associated values:
enum UnboxPath {
case key(String)
case keyPath(String)
}
struct UserSchema {
static let name = key("name")
static let age = key("age")
static let posts = key("posts")
private static let key = UnboxPath.key
}
