Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Allows publish-subscribe-style communication between components without requiring the components to explicitly be aware of each other
- simplifies the communication between components
- decouples event senders and receivers
- avoids complex and error-prone dependencies and life cycle issues
- makes your code simpler
- is fast
- is tiny
- Thread-safe
pod 'SwiftEventBus', :tag => '5.1.0', :git => 'https://github.com/cesarferreira/SwiftEventBus.git'github "cesarferreira/SwiftEventBus" == 5.1.05.+forswift 53.+forswift 4.22.+forswift 31.1.0forswift 2.2
Subscribers implement event handling methods that will be called when an event is received.
SwiftEventBus.onMainThread(target, name: "someEventName") { result in
// UI thread
}
// or
SwiftEventBus.onBackgroundThread(target, name:"someEventName") { result in
// API Access
}Post an event from any part of your code. All subscribers matching the event type will receive it.
SwiftEventBus.post("someEventName")--
Post event
SwiftEventBus.post("personFetchEvent", sender: Person(name:"john doe"))Expecting parameters
SwiftEventBus.onMainThread(target, name:"personFetchEvent") { result in
let person : Person = result.object as Person
println(person.name) // will output "john doe"
}Quoting the official Apple documentation:
Regular notification centers deliver notifications on the thread in which the notification was posted
Regarding this limitation, @nunogoncalves implemented the feature and provided a working example:
@IBAction func clicked(sender: AnyObject) {
count++
SwiftEventBus.post("doStuffOnBackground")
}
@IBOutlet weak var textField: UITextField!
var count = 0
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
SwiftEventBus.onBackgroundThread(self, name: "doStuffOnBackground") { notification in
println("doing stuff in background thread")
SwiftEventBus.postToMainThread("updateText")
}
SwiftEventBus.onMainThread(self, name: "updateText") { notification in
self.textField.text = "\(self.count)"
}
}
//Perhaps on viewDidDisappear depending on your needs
override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
SwiftEventBus.unregister(self)
}--
Remove all the observers from the target
SwiftEventBus.unregister(target)Remove observers of the same name from the target
SwiftEventBus.unregister(target, "someEventName")
