To create a protocol in Swift, you can define it with the protocol
keyword followed by the name of the protocol. Inside the curly braces, you can define the methods or properties that you want conforming classes or structs to implement.
Here's an example protocol named MyProtocol
with one required method named myMethod
:
main.swift44 chars4 lines
To use this MyProtocol
in a class or struct, you need to implement the required methods by conforming to the protocol. Here's an example class MyClass
that adopts the MyProtocol
:
main.swift82 chars6 lines
You can also use the protocol as a type to create a variable or constant that can hold any object that conforms to the protocol. For example:
main.swift57 chars3 lines
In this example, myObject
is of type MyProtocol
, but it's actually an instance of MyClass
which conforms to MyProtocol
. Therefore, we can call the myMethod()
method on myObject
, which will call the implementation of the method in MyClass
.
