Array of weak in Swift

Array of weak references in Swift.
Create a generic wrapper as:

class Weak<T: AnyObject> {
weak var value : T?
init (value: T) {
self.value = value
}
}

Add instances of this class to your array.

class Stuff {}
var weaky: [We…

Array of weak references in Swift.
Create a generic wrapper as:

class Weak<T: AnyObject> {
  weak var value : T?
  init (value: T) {
    self.value = value
  }
}

Add instances of this class to your array.

class Stuff {}
var weaky: [Weak<Stuff>] = 
  [Weak(value: Stuff()), Weak(value: Stuff())]

When defining Weak you can use either struct or class.
Also, to help with reaping array contents, you could do something along the lines of:

extension Array where Element:Weak<AnyObject> {
  mutating func reap () {
    self = self.filter { nil != $0.value }
  }
}

The use of AnyObject above should be replaced with T - but I don't think the current Swift language allows an extension defined as such.

I have a clear focus on time-to-market and don't prioritize technical debt. And I took part in the Pre-Sale/RFX activity as a System Architect, assessment efforts for Mobile (iOS-Swift, Android-Kotlin), Frontend (React-TypeScript) and Backend (NodeJS-.NET-PHP-Kafka-SQL-NoSQL). And I also formed the work of Pre-Sale as a CTO from Opportunity to Proposal via knowledge transfer to Successful Delivery.
