Builder

✋ ✋ ✋ The super easy and generic builder pattern. It's easy if you try 💪 .

Introduction

Initialize UIView build set its properties. 👍 👍

let label:UIView = .build{
  $0.backgroundColor = .red
  $0.clipsToBounds = true
}

👇 👇 This is equivalent to: 👇 👇

let label: UIView = {
  let view = UIView()
  view.backgroundColor = .red
  view.clipsToBounds = true
  return view
}()

Tips and examples

• You can use build to all of NSObject subclasses.

  let view = UIView.build { // Example 1
    $0.color = .red
  }

   let view:UIView = .build { (view) in // Example 2
      view.color = .red
   }

   let view:UIView = .build { // Example 2
     $0.color = .red
   }

• You can use build to all of class and structure. Just make extensions. Init implementation is required for the class, not required for the structure

  extension UserType: EKBuilder {}
  
  let instance:UserType = .build{
    $0.value = "it's easy if you try!"
  }

• Example: Here's an example usage in an UIViewController subclass.

    class Tesla: EKBuilder {
           var type:String!
           var count:Int!
           required init() {}
    }
    
    struct Audi:EKBuilder {
           var type:String!
           var count:Int!
    }
   
   final class ViewController: UIViewController {
   
     let tesla:Tesla = .build {
       $0.type = "Model X"
       $0.count = 10
     }
   
     let audi = Audi.build {
        $0.type = "R8"
        $0.count = 10
     }
   
     override func viewDidLoad() {
       super.viewDidLoad()
       print(tesla.type, tesla.count)
       print(audi.type, audi.count)
     }
   
   }
