Type Definitions

The following definitions are providing types for sort and filter blocks.

The following type definitions are available globally.

  • This type if being used when we need a boolean information of the elements of a collection, eg. filter or contains

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    typedef BOOL (^FunkyFilterPredicate)(id)

    Swift

    typealias FunkyFilterPredicate = (Any?) -> Bool

  • This type is used when filtering collections with bucket sort

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    typedef BOOL (^FunkySortingBucketFilterBlock)(id)

    Swift

    typealias FunkySortingBucketFilterBlock = (Any?) -> Bool

  • This is a protocol for comparing objects, but we’re only interested in their asending or descending information. It is usually used when comparing numbers in an array, like return obj1 < obj2 to have an ascending collection

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    typedef BOOL (^FunkySortBoolComparableBlock)(id, id)

    Swift

    typealias FunkySortBoolComparableBlock = (Any?, Any?) -> Bool

  • This is a protocol for comparing objects via a mapped value. In case of complex objects you can return a sub-property which implements the -compare: method, so the collection will be sorted by that computed property.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    typedef id (^FunkySortComparablePropertyProviderBlock)(id)

    Swift

    typealias FunkySortComparablePropertyProviderBlock = (Any?) -> Any?
