AnyTask

public class AnyTask<T> : Task

An AnyTask can be used as a generic Task object. You have to pass it a execute block when it’s initialized and that will be called when it’s time to execute the task.

AnyTasks schedules execution blocks on TaskManager.shared.

  • Alias of the “successful” return value of your execution block

    Declaration

    Swift

    public typealias SuccessValue = T

  • Initialize the AnyTask with an execution block that is given a “done” callback that must be called with a Task.CompletionCallback

    Declaration

    Swift

    @discardableResult
public init(timeout: DispatchTimeInterval? = nil, execute: @escaping (@escaping AnyTask.CompletionCallback) -> Void)

    Parameters

    timeout

    after how long the task timeout
    execute

    the execution block.

  • Initialize the AnyTask with an execution block that just returns a type T and may throw

    Declaration

    Swift

    @discardableResult
public convenience init(timeout: DispatchTimeInterval? = nil, execute: @escaping () throws -> T)

    Parameters

    timeout

    after how long the task timeout
    execute

    the execution block.

  • Initialize the AnyTask with an execution block that just returns a type T

    Declaration

    Swift

    @discardableResult
public convenience init(timeout: DispatchTimeInterval? = nil, execute: @escaping () -> T)

    Parameters

    timeout

    after how long the task timeout
    execute

    the execution block.

  • Initialize the AnyTask with another Task object. The Task.SuccessValue must match the type T of this AnyTask

    Declaration

    Swift

    @discardableResult
public convenience init<U>(fromTask task: U, timeout: DispatchTimeInterval? = nil) where T == U.SuccessValue, U : Task

    Parameters

    task

    The Task object that this will wrap
    timeout

    Specify if you wan to overwrites Task.timeout.

  • The timeout passed in the initializer

    Declaration

    Swift

    public let timeout: DispatchTimeInterval?

  • The Task.execute function calls the execution block was given to an initilzer

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func execute(completion: @escaping CompletionCallback)
