  • Is Combine the best way of keeping UI updated in UIKit?

    There is also CombineCocoa library with couple of bindings for UIKit https://github.com/CombineCommunity/CombineCocoa

    There is a CombineCocoa library available. I haven't use Combine much yet mainly because until recently, I had to support iOS versions previous to 13 and even now, there are several reactive operators that I use extensively that don't exist in Combine. CombineExt is slowly filling in the gaps though.
  • Combine from RxSwift - Highlights for smooth adaption

    Backpressure is an advanced topic and as Apple keeps their implementations of publishers and subscribers private, the complexity of this management is hidden from developers. Understanding the principle of backpressure makes customization for publishers and subscribers possible. One particular use case for this is CombineCocoa by CombineCommunity, which makes integration of Combine when using UIControls much more convenient. However, Apple strongly encourages that developers use the built-in convenience publishers and subjects instead of implementing custom ones, so it is important to look for simple solutions before tempting to overengineer to avoid bringing complexity and potential bugs to your projects.

  • new to Combine and struggling with the best way to launch multiple requests

    To take the result of one publisher and return another publisher, you'll probably want to use flatMap-3k7z5). However, based on your use case, I do believe that flatMapLatest is the way to go from CombineExt. I'll explain below.

    Other frameworks that are important for me are ones that add missing functionality, like CombineExt, or abstractions like Moya.
