Using variadic parameters
Using variadic parameters in Swift, you can create some really nice APIs that take a list of objects without having to use an array:
extension Canvas {
func add(_ shapes: Shape...) {
shapes.forEach(add)
}
}
let circle = Circle(center: CGPoint(x: 5, y: 5), radius: 5)
let lineA = Line(start: .zero, end: CGPoint(x: 10, y: 10))
let lineB = Line(start: CGPoint(x: 0, y: 10), end: CGPoint(x: 10, y: 0))
let canvas = Canvas()
canvas.add(circle, lineA, lineB)
canvas.render()
