quick protocol for creating dictionaries from types
// simple alternative to using swift 4's encodable protocol when you just need to quickly create a dictionary
// usage:
// struct SomeData: DictionaryEncodable {
// enum Key: String {
// case someValue
// }
//
// let someValue = 5
//
// func encode(_ encoder: DictionaryEncoder) {
// encoder.encode(someValue, key: Key.someValue)
// }
// }
// let encoder = DictionaryEncoder()
// let dict = encoder.encode(someEncodableType)
class DictionaryEncoder {
var result: [String: Any]
init() {
result = [:]
}
func encode(_ encodable: DictionaryEncodable) -> [String: Any] {
encodable.encode(self)
return result
}
func encode<T, K>(_ value: T, key: K) where K: RawRepresentable, K.RawValue == String {
result[key.rawValue] = value
}
}
protocol DictionaryEncodable {
func encode(_ encoder: DictionaryEncoder)
}
