SwiftHooks is a little module for plugins, in Swift
A Hook represents a “pluggable” point in a software model. They provide a mechanism for “tapping” into such points to get updates, or apply additional functionality to some typed object.
Variety of built in hook types
| Type | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Basic | Executes the taps with no return value |
| Waterfall | “Reduce” the result through all the taps |
| Bail | Retrieve the result of the first tap that handles the calling value |
| Loop | Execute taps until no taps request the loop be restarted |
Inspiration
At Intuit, we’re big fans of tapable, and plugin architecture. This package is the Swift companion to the Kotlin hooks. These are packages we use to enable extensible software, keeping extensions isolated to those that need them, avoiding bloat in primary projects.
