How to create an interface in Swift


i want to create functionality like interface in swift, my goal is when i call another class suppose i'm calling API and the response of that class i want to reflect in to my current screen, in android interface is used to achieve but what should i use in swift for that? can anyone help me with example. the code for android is given below...

public class ExecuteServerReq {
    public GetResponse getResponse = null;

    public void somemethod() {
        getResponse.onResponse(Response);
    } 
    public interface GetResponse {
        void onResponse(String objects);
    }
}


ExecuteServerReq executeServerReq = new ExecuteServerReq();

executeServerReq.getResponse = new ExecuteServerReq.GetResponse() {
    @Override
    public void onResponse(String objects) {
    }
}

Solution

  • Instead of interface swift have Protocols.

    A protocol defines a blueprint of methods, properties, and other requirements that suit a particular task or piece of functionality. The protocol can then be adopted by a class, structure, or enumeration to provide an actual implementation of those requirements. Any type that satisfies the requirements of a protocol is said to conform to that protocol.

    lets take an exam .

    protocol Animal {
        func canSwim() -> Bool
    }
    

    and we have a class that confirm this protocol name Animal

    class Human : Animal {
       func canSwim() -> Bool {
         return true
       }
    }
