I must admit my knowledge of swift is limited, and I cannot wrap my head around this problem.
I've defined this protocol, so I can use different auth providers in my app.
protocol AuthRepository {
associatedtype AuthData
associatedtype AuthResponseData
associatedtype RegistrationData
associatedtype RegistrationResponseData
func login(with data: AuthData) async throws -> AuthResponseData?
func register(with data: RegistrationData) async throws -> RegistrationResponseData?
}
and an implementation for my server
struct MyServerAuthData {
let email: String
let password: String
}
struct MyServerAuthResponseData {
let token: String
}
struct MyServerRegistrationData {
let email: String
let password: String
let name: String
}
actor AuthRepositoryImpl: AuthRepository {
func login(with data: MyServerAuthData) async throws -> MyServerAuthResponseData? {
...
}
func register(with data: MyServerRegistrationData) async throws -> Void? {
...
}
}
To use across the app, I've created this ViewModel
@MainActor
final class AuthViewModel<T: AuthRepository>: ObservableObject {
private let repository: T
init(repository: T) {
self.repository = repository
}
func login(data: T.AuthData) async throws -> T.AuthResponseData? {
try await repository.login(with: data)
}
func register(with data: T.RegistrationData) async throws {
try await repository.register(with: data)
}
}
defined in the app as
@main
struct MyApp: App {
@StateObject var authViewModel = AuthViewModel(repository: AuthRepositoryImpl())
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
.environmentObject(self.authViewModel)
}
}
}
and consumed as
@EnvironmentObject private var authViewModel: AuthViewModel<AuthRepositoryImpl>
But with this code, the whole concept of having a generic implementation for the auth repository is useless, because changing the AuthRepostory will need to search and replace AuthViewModel<AuthRepositoryImpl>
across all the app.
I've experienced this directly creating a MockAuthImpl to use with #Preview, and the preview crashed because it defines AuthViewModel(repository: MockAuthImpl()) but the view expects AuthViewModel.
There is a better way to do that?
