Question 1

How to handle retries with Kommander in Swift?

Accepted Answer

Use the retry method on a Kommand object with a closure that specifies conditions based on error and execution count, allowing custom logic for automatic retries after failures or cancellations.

Question 2

Kommander vs Grand Central Dispatch: which is better for async tasks?

Accepted Answer

Kommander abstracts GCD and OperationQueue with a higher-level API for task management, making it better for structured operations with retries and cancellations, while raw GCD offers more low-level control for performance-critical scenarios.

Question 3

Can I use Kommander with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Kommander is compatible with SwiftUI via its Swift 4 support, but it doesn't leverage SwiftUI's native concurrency features, so you'll need to manage state updates manually on the main thread.

Question 4

How to cancel multiple kommands at once?

Accepted Answer

Kommander provides methods to create and manage multiple kommands through arrays, allowing batch cancellation by iterating over and calling cancel on each kommand, as shown in the feature list.

Question 5

Does Kommander support async/await in Swift 5.5?

Accepted Answer

No, Kommander does not natively support async/await as it targets Swift versions 2-4; you would need to wrap its closures or consider alternatives for modern Swift concurrency.

Question 6

Is Kommander compatible with Objective-C projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there's a specific Objective-C version available via CocoaPods with a tagged release, but it may lack some Swift-only features and require careful integration.

Question 7

Best practices for error handling in Kommander?

Accepted Answer

Specify error types in closures to catch specific errors, use retry logic for transient failures, and always handle errors in dedicated closures to prevent crashes in asynchronous workflows.
