AuthorAttribution
struct AuthorAttribution
extension AuthorAttribution : Copyable, CustomStringConvertible, Equatable, Escapable, Hashable, Sendable
-
Returns a Boolean value indicating whether two values are equal.
Equality is the inverse of inequality. For any values a and b,
a == b implies that a != b is false.
Declaration
Swift
static func == (lhs: AuthorAttribution, rhs: AuthorAttribution) -> Bool
Parameters
lhs
|
|
rhs
|
Another value to compare.
|
-
A textual representation of this instance.
Calling this property directly is discouraged. Instead, convert an
instance of any type to a string by using the String(describing:)
initializer. This initializer works with any type, and uses the custom
description property for types that conform to
CustomStringConvertible:
struct Point: CustomStringConvertible {
let x: Int, y: Int
var description: String {
return "(\(x), \(y))"
}
}
let p = Point(x: 21, y: 30)
let s = String(describing: p)
print(s)
// Prints "(21, 30)"
The conversion of p to a string in the assignment to s uses the
Point type’s description property.
Declaration
Swift
var description: String { get }
-
Returns the name of the author.
Declaration
Swift
var displayName: String { get }
-
Hashes the essential components of this value by feeding them into the
given hasher.
Implement this method to conform to the Hashable protocol. The
components used for hashing must be the same as the components compared
in your type’s == operator implementation. Call hasher.combine(_:)
with each of these components.
Important
In your implementation of hash(into:),
don’t call finalize() on the hasher instance provided,
or replace it with a different instance.
Doing so may become a compile-time error in the future.
Declaration
Swift
func hash(into hasher: inout Hasher)
-
The hash value.
Hash values are not guaranteed to be equal across different executions of
your program. Do not save hash values to use during a future execution.
Important
hashValue is deprecated as a
Hashable requirement. To
conform to
Hashable, implement the
hash(into:) requirement instead.
The compiler provides an implementation for
hashValue for you.
Declaration
Swift
var hashValue: Int { get }
-
Returns the AuthorAttribution with a displayName, URL, and author photoURL.
Declaration
Swift
init(displayName: String, url: URL? = nil, photoUrl: URL? = nil)
-
Returns the profile photo URL of the author.
Declaration
Swift
var photoUrl: URL? { get }
-
Returns the URL of the author.
Declaration
Swift
var url: URL? { get }
