Question 1

How to create a repeating timer with Each in Swift?

Accepted Answer

Use Each(interval).seconds.perform { return .continue } where .continue keeps the timer active, as detailed in the usage section. For memory safety, consider perform(on:) or weak self checks.

Question 2

Each vs GCD timers (DispatchQueue) which is better?

Accepted Answer

Each offers a simpler, more readable API for basic timer tasks, while GCD timers provide higher precision and better background handling. Choose Each for code clarity over raw performance.

Question 3

How to handle memory leaks with Each library?

Accepted Answer

The README suggests workarounds: use perform(on:) to tie timer to object lifecycle, add weak self checks in closures, or manually call stop() in deinit. No automatic leak prevention is built-in.

Question 4

Can Each be used with SwiftUI for animations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it wraps NSTimer and may not integrate seamlessly with SwiftUI's state management; for smooth animations, consider native SwiftUI timers or Combine publishers instead.

Question 5

How to install Each using Carthage step by step?

Accepted Answer

Add 'github "dalu93/Each"' to your Cartfile, run carthage update, and link the framework in Xcode. Refer to the README for exact commands and platform requirements.

Question 6

Each timer stopping and restarting how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Call timer.stop() to invalidate immediately, then timer.restart() to resume with the same closure. Note that restart only works after stopping, per the usage examples.
