# Swift Patterns
> This file extends [common/patterns.md](../common/patterns.md) with Swift specific content.
## Protocol-Oriented Design
Define small, focused protocols. Use protocol extensions for shared defaults:
```swift
protocol Repository: Sendable {
associatedtype Item: Identifiable & Sendable
func find(by id: Item.ID) async throws -> Item?
func save(_ item: Item) async throws
}
```
## Value Types
- Use structs for data transfer objects and models
- Use enums with associated values to model distinct states:
```swift
enum LoadState<T: Sendable>: Sendable {
case idle
case loading
case loaded(T)
case failed(Error)
}
```
## Actor Pattern
Use actors for shared mutable state instead of locks or dispatch queues:
```swift
actor Cache<Key: Hashable & Sendable, Value: Sendable> {
private var storage: [Key: Value] = [:]
func get(_ key: Key) -> Value? { storage[key] }
func set(_ key: Key, value: Value) { storage[key] = value }
}
```
## Dependency Injection
Inject protocols with default parameters — production uses defaults, tests inject mocks:
```swift
struct UserService {
private let repository: any UserRepository
init(repository: any UserRepository = DefaultUserRepository()) {
self.repository = repository
}
}
```
