Operator details

materialize

Turns type <T, E: Error> events into MaterilEvent. The returned Publisher never errors, and does complete after observing all of the events of the underlying Publisher.

  URLSession.shared
    .dataTaskPublisher(for: url)
    .map { $0.data }
    .decode(type: [MyModel].self, decoder: JSONDecoder())
    .materialize()

methodInvoked

Works on any NSObject subclass by swizzling the invoked selector and providing a way to hook into it using a publisher of type <[Any], Error>. The [Any] array will contain any arguments that are passed in with the function (or it will be empty if none are passed).

  let vc = UIViewController()
  // Returns a AnyPublisher<[Any], Error> type that will emit and complete when viewDidLoad is called on the target view controller
  let viewDidLoadPublisher = vc.methodInvoked(#selector(UIViewController.viewDidLoad)) 

controlEvent(for:)

  let textField = UITextField()  
  let sink = textField.publisher(for: .valueChanged)
      .print()
      .sink { _ in }
  textField.sendActions(for: .valueChanged)
