Classes

AsyncLoadable is a concrete implementation of AsyncLoadableProtocol, subclass from this class to make your own loadable, so you can avoid working with generics “down the line”.

MMMLoadableObserver that supports asynchronous closures as it’s callback.

Listen to an AsyncLoadable by using an AsyncStream. This allows you to iterate over the iterator, this will stream a new AsyncLoadableStreamObject on every change in the loadable.

For example:

class MyView: UIView {

    private let loadable: AsyncLoadable<MyData>

    // It's crucial that we call `finish()` somehow, this is also called upon deinit,
    // so storing it as a property is an easy way to accomplish this.
    private var stream: AsyncLoadableStream<MyData>?

    public init(loadable: AsyncLoadable<MyData>) {

        let stream = AsyncLoadableStream(loadable)

        self.loadable = loadable
        self.stream = stream

        for await obj in stream.iterator {
            // Do something with the stream object, e.g. update UI.
            updateUI()
        }
    }

    private func updateUI() {
        loader.isHidden = loadable.loadableState != .syncing
    }
}

Please note that due to the nature of async/await in swift it’s crucial to store the stream as a local (private) property to ensure that finish() get’s called upon deinit. This stops the stream. Otherwise your Actor will get blocked indefinitely, since it will keep on waiting for new values, causing a memory leak.
