I need to have custom logic in a Set that defines when a Hashable can be insert or not.
First I tried to solve this with a observer
var Tenants: Set<Tenant> = [] {
willSet {
// to the business logic here
// ...
But in an observer i can not return an error. So I tried to extend Set to overwrite the insert method.
extension Set where Element == Tenant {
@inlinable mutating func insert(_ newMember: Element) -> (inserted: Bool, memberAfterInsert: Element){
// .... do my logic here ...
return (true, newMember)
}
}
That works so far and the method will be called. I can return true and if my logic did not pass even a false. Ok, but how do I add the Element into the Set? super.insert(). The return is correct, but the Set is empty. How to add the elements into the concrete set?
Implementation so far
/// Global set of known tenants
var Tenants: Set<Tenant> = [] {
willSet {
let newTenants = newValue.symmetricDifference(Tenants)
guard let newTenant = newTenants.first else {
Logging.main.error("Can not find tenant to add.")
return
}
Logging.main.info("Will add new Tenant \(newTenant.name) [\(newTenant.ident)]")
}
}
extension Set where Element == Tenant {
@inlinable mutating func insert(_ newMember: Element) -> (inserted: Bool, memberAfterInsert: Element){
print("Check to add...")
// .... do my logic here ...
// ok
return (true, newMember)
}
}
The result is:
Check to add...
error : Can not find tenant to add.
Check to add...
error : Can not find tenant to add.
>Solution :
This seems to work for "do my logic here"
self = self.union([newMember])
