Question 1

How do I install Curry in my Xcode project using Swift Package Manager?

Accepted Answer

In Xcode, go to File > Add Packages, enter 'https://github.com/thoughtbot/Curry', and select the version. Alternatively, add it as a dependency in your Package.swift file with .package(url:from:).

Question 2

What's the benefit of Curry over using Swift closures directly?

Accepted Answer

Curry standardizes function currying, making code more readable and reusable than manual closure wrapping. It simplifies partial application and composition, especially in functional programming workflows.

Question 3

Can I use Curry with Swift's async/await features?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't mention async/await support; you'll need to adapt curried functions for asynchronous code, as Curry focuses on synchronous transformations without built-in async handling.

Question 4

How do I create a partially applied function with Curry?

Accepted Answer

Use Curry's functions to transform a multi-parameter function into a chain, then apply some arguments to get a new function. Check the linked blog post for specific examples and syntax.

Question 5

Is Curry or RxSwift better for functional programming in Swift?

Accepted Answer

Curry is for function currying, while RxSwift is for reactive programming; they serve different purposes. Curry is lightweight and focused, whereas RxSwift is comprehensive but heavier. Choose based on whether you need currying or reactive streams.

Question 6

Does Curry handle errors in curried functions?

Accepted Answer

No, Curry doesn't provide built-in error handling; you must manage errors within the functions you curry, as the library only deals with function transformation without error management features.
