Let's assume that we have:
Person
is an example of a struct that contains information about the person.MyService
is an example of a class that serves as an entry point to the model. Works in a background.MyViewController
is an example of a class that manages UI-related instances. Works on the main queue.
extension MyViewController {
func present(personWithID identifier: String) {
myService.fetch(personWithID: identifier) {
(person, error) in
/* do not forget to dispatch to the main queue */
DispatchQueue.main.async {
/* do not forget the [weak self] */
[weak self] in
guard let strongSelf = self
else { return }
if let person = person {
strongSelf.present(person: person)
} else if let error = error {
strongSelf.present(error: error)
} else {

}

Let's assume that we have function that finds all prime numbers lesser than n
func primeNumbers(to n: Int) -> [Int] { /* ... */ }
let futurePrimeNumbers: Future<[Int]> = future { primeNumbers(to: 10_000_000) }
let futureSquaredPrimeNumbers = futurePrimeNumbers
.map { (primeNumbers) -> [Int] in
return primeNumbers.map { (number) -> Int
return number * number
}
}

print("Number of prime numbers is \(fallibleNumbers.success?.count)")
} else {
print("Did not calculate prime numbers yet")

let futureB: Future<B> = /* ... */

/* implementation */

let promise = Promise<Person>()
self.fetchPerson(withID: personID, callback: promise.complete)

Let's assume we have function that returns channel of prime numbers: sends prime numbers as finds them and sends number of found numbers as completion
func makeChannelOfPrimeNumbers(to n: Int) -> Channel<Int, Int> { /* ... */ }
let channelOfSquaredPrimeNumbers = channelOfPrimeNumbers
.map { (number) -> Int in
return number * number
}
for number in channelOfPrimeNumbers {
print(number)
}
if let fallibleNumberOfPrimes = channelOfPrimeNumbers.wait(seconds: 1.0) {
print("Number of prime numbers is \(fallibleNumberOfPrimes.success)")
} else {
print("Did not calculate prime numbers yet")
}
let (primeNumbers, numberOfPrimeNumbers) = channelOfPrimeNumbers.waitForAll()
channelOfPrimeNumbers.onUpdate { print("Update: \($0)") }
channelOfPrimeNumbers.onComplete { print("Completed: \($0)") }
func makeChannelOfPrimeNumbers(to n: Int) -> Channel<Int, Int> {
return channel { (update) -> Int in
var numberOfPrimeNumbers = 0
var isPrime = Array(repeating: true, count: n)
for number in 2..<n where isPrime[number] {
numberOfPrimeNumbers += 1
update(number)
// updating seive
var seiveNumber = number + number
while seiveNumber < n {
isPrime[seiveNumber] = false
seiveNumber += number
}
}
return numberOfPrimeNumbers
}
}
