Swift lazy observe and mutate pattern for arrays
$begingroup$
I am using the following pattern in my code.
It works. But, it feels as though it is on the edge of what should work!
Should I consider an alternative?
I have an array in my class that maps an underlying data array. This is the sort of thing for which I could use a lazy sequence. However, I don't want to re-evaluate every time an element is accessed. So, I lazily load my array, then track the data array with KVO. I also want my top-level array to be observable. I mutate that with a mutableArrayValue.
I have mocked up a simple working example of the pattern below.
mutableArrayValue would usually cause a lazy var to initialise, but it seems OK to call it during an initialisation.
Setting up an observation on a lazy var does not cause it to initialise. I don't get a call here even though the effective setting of the array comes after the observation is created.
import Cocoa
class LazyData: NSObject
{
@objc dynamic lazy var units: [Int] = {
print("Loading units")
return [1,2,3,4,5,6] }()
}
class Lazy: NSObject
{
let data: LazyData
init(with data: LazyData) {
self.data = data
}
var unitsObservation: NSKeyValueObservation?
func tenTimes(_ input: Int) -> Int { return 10 * input }
@objc dynamic lazy var tens: [Int] = {
print("Loading tens")
let tenProxy = mutableArrayValue(forKeyPath: #keyPath(Lazy.tens))
unitsObservation = data.observe(.units) { object, change in
if change.kind == .insertion {
for insertionIndex in change.indexes! {
let ten = self.tenTimes(object.units[insertionIndex])
tenProxy.insert(ten, at: insertionIndex)
}
}
}
return data.units.map { tenTimes($0) }
}()
}
var lazyData = LazyData()
var lazy = Lazy(with: lazyData)
print(lazy.tens)
let lazyDataProxy = lazyData.mutableArrayValue(forKeyPath: #keyPath(LazyData.units))
lazyDataProxy.insert(9, at: 0)
print(lazy.tens)
