SwiftDesignPatterns

Implementations of various design patterns in Swift.

Key takeaways:

• Always begin designing a system with it's behavior rather than beginning with data. This approach adds clarity to identify components in the system. This is said otherwise in the famous saying Program to an interface not an implementation!

Swift specific inputs:

• Prefer defualt implementations in protocol over inheritence.
• Init could go on protocol. This'd enforce required initialization.
• Avoid concrete classes as much as your design allows. Leverage protocol extensions over concrete classes.
