Datasourceable

public protocol Datasourceable<Item> : Interactable

This protocol represents a datasource Interactor. Datasources are designed to provide data models to a Destination based on requests, such as requesting objects from a server for display in a navigation stack. For more information on Interactors, please see the documentation for Interactable.

Note

If you need your datasource Interactor to run in an async context, please instead conform it to the AsyncDatasourceable protocol.

  • This type represents the type of data model this datasource handles.

    Declaration

    Swift

    associatedtype Item : Hashable
  • startItemsRetrieval() Default implementation

    Tells the datasource to start retrieval of the items.

    Note

    This method is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. To start the retrieval of items for a datasource, please instead use Destinationable‘s prepareForPresentation() and call performInterfaceAction() with an interaction type which can initiate a retrieval request. If you need to configure an Interactor prior to making requests, please call the new prepareForRequests() method.
