Using property observers
Basics article available: PropertiesI really love using property observers in Swift — makes it easy to write much more reactive code, with objects that automatically react to changes in state and other values.
class ChartTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
var values: [CGFloat] = [] {
// Property observers let us easily react to changes
// in property values to, for example, re-render a
// part of our UI:
didSet { renderChart() }
}
// Superclass properties can also be observed, simply by
// overriding one and adding an observation:
override var accessoryView: UIView? {
// 'oldValue' is automatically available within
// didSet property observers:
didSet { accessoryViewDidChange(from: oldValue) }
}
}
