Delegated
A Swift package for closure-based delegation that automatically prevents retain cycles and memory leaks.
What is Delegated?
Delegated is a Swift package that provides a closure-based delegation system designed to prevent memory leaks and retain cycles automatically. It replaces traditional closure delegation patterns with a property-wrapper-based API that handles weak references implicitly, removing the need for manual `[weak self]` annotations. This helps developers write safer, more maintainable Swift code, particularly in iOS and macOS applications.
Swift developers, especially those building iOS, macOS, or other Apple platform applications who use delegation patterns and want to avoid common memory management issues. It's ideal for developers tired of manually managing weak references in closure-based callbacks.
Developers choose Delegated because it eliminates the boilerplate and error-prone nature of manual weak reference management in delegation, providing a type-safe, compile-time-checked alternative that automatically prevents retain cycles. Its minimal API and focus on safety make delegation both simpler and more reliable.
