SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Migrates RxSwift-based networking code to native Swift async/await, removing RxSwift dependencies and modernizing code paths to Swift Concurrency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Migrates protocol signatures from Observable-based APIs to async throws functions.
  • Replaces RxSwift URLSession extensions and reactive chains with native async/await calls.
  • Updates Repository and ViewModel layers to async/await patterns and yields clearer error handling.
  • Facilitates gradual migration and future-proofing for iOS 15+ and beyond.

Quick Start

Refactor your API client by replacing Observable-based methods with async/throws counterparts and removing RxSwift dependencies.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate RxSwift networking code to Swift async/await?

You can refactor RxSwift networking to async/await by replacing Observable-based methods with async throws counterparts across repository and view-model layers. This transition removes RxSwift dependencies and modernizes your code paths to Swift Concurrency.

What is the best way to replace RxSwift Observable chains with native Swift Concurrency?

The best way to replace RxSwift Observable chains is to transform them into native async throws functions within your API client. This yields clearer error handling and updates your architecture to use Swift Concurrency instead of reactive extensions.

Does migrating from RxSwift to async/await support gradual migration across existing ViewModels?

Yes, migrating from RxSwift to async/await supports gradual migration. You can update Repository and ViewModel layers incrementally to async/await patterns, facilitating future-proofing while maintaining compatibility with existing project architecture.

Can I use async/await to replace RxSwift URLSession extensions on iOS 15?

Yes, you can replace RxSwift URLSession extensions with native async/await calls on iOS 15+. This refactoring applies to networking layers and protocol definitions, satisfying modern Swift concurrency requirements for robust error handling.

Why does removing RxSwift dependencies improve error handling in Swift networking layers?

Removing RxSwift dependencies improves error handling by replacing complex reactive chains with native async throws functions. This pattern updates repository and view-model layers to yield clearer, more maintainable error handling within Swift Concurrency.
