Using "then" as an external parameter label for closures
I've started using "then" as an external parameter label for completion handlers. Makes the call site read really nicely (Because I do love conversational API design) regardless of whether trailing closure syntax is used or not.
protocol DataLoader {
// Adding type aliases to protocols can be a great way to
// reduce verbosity for parameter types.
typealias Handler = (Result<Data>) -> Void
associatedtype Endpoint
func loadData(from endpoint: Endpoint, then handler: @escaping Handler)
}
loader.loadData(from: .messages) { result in
...
}
loader.loadData(from: .messages, then: { result in
...
})
