Protocol extension to struct and overwritable












1














I want to be able to decode different objects that come from the server with different date formats and for that I came up with this protocol:



public protocol DateFormatProtocol{
var dateFormat : String {get}
}

public protocol CodableWithDateFormat : Codable, DateFormatProtocol{
static var dateFormat: String {get}// = "DatFormat"
}

public extension CodableWithDateFormat{
public static var dateFormat: String { return "Base date format" }
}


So when I need to I could override the property in each struct that needs a different date format but I don't want eavery struct to override the default date format given on the extension of the protocol. Is there any way for me being able to write this? :



struct Struct1 : CodableWithDateFormat{
var dateFormat: String { return "Overwritten Date Format" }
let prop1 : String
let prop2 : Int
}

struct Struct2 : CodableWithDateFormat{ //Type 'Struct2' does not conform to protocol 'DateFormatProtocol'
let prop1 : String
let prop2 : Int
}

  • You forget to include DateFormatProtocol declaration that could help the readers to provide a better fix..

  • Is there a way that, when implementing the Protocol CodableWithDateFormat the compiler will force the struct to have dateFormat property?

  • Actually if you remove the default implementation from extension it will force then. Or if you use DateFormateProtocol then it is possible.

You need to match the declaration for dateFormat in DateFormatProtocol as below,



public protocol DateFormatProtocol {
static var dateFormat: String { get }
}

public protocol CodableWithDateFormat: Codable, DateFormatProtocol {}

public extension CodableWithDateFormat {
public static var dateFormat: String { return "Base date format" }
}

struct Struct1: CodableWithDateFormat {
public static var dateFormat: String { return "Overwritten Date Format" }
let prop1: String
let prop2: Int
}

struct Struct2: CodableWithDateFormat {
let prop1: String
let prop2: Int
}
