ar_dispatch

Introduction

Welcome to the documentation for the ar_dispatch framework! Here, you will find comprehensive information on how to effectively use ar_dispatch in your projects.

Installation

1. Open the terminal and navigate to the project directory.
2. Run the following command to install ar_dispatch:

pod 'ar_dispatch', '~> 1.0'

Usage

Dispatch Queues

ar_dispatch provides a convenient way to perform tasks concurrently using dispatch queues.

Serial Queue

Use a serial queue when you want tasks to be executed one after another, in the order they are added.

// Create a serial queue
let serialQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.example.serialQueue")

// Add tasks to the serial queue
serialQueue.async {
    // Task 1
}

serialQueue.async {
    // Task 2
}

Concurrent Queue

Use a concurrent queue when you want tasks to be executed concurrently, without any specific order.

// Create a concurrent queue
let concurrentQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.example.concurrentQueue", attributes: .concurrent)

// Add tasks to the concurrent queue
concurrentQueue.async {
    // Task 1
}

concurrentQueue.async {
    // Task 2
}

Synchronous vs. Asynchronous

Synchronous Execution

Synchronous execution blocks the current queue until the task completes.

// Perform a synchronous task on a serial queue
serialQueue.sync { 
    // Task 
}

Asynchronous Execution

Asynchronous execution allows the current queue to continue without waiting for the task to complete.

// Perform an asynchronous task on a concurrent queue
concurrentQueue.async { 
    // Task 
}

Best Practices

• Choose the appropriate queue type depending on your task requirements.
• Use serial queues for tasks that need to be executed sequentially.
• Utilize concurrent queues for tasks that can be executed concurrently.
• Ensure synchronization when accessing shared resources across multiple queues.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully learned the fundamentals of using ar_dispatch in your projects. With this knowledge, you can efficiently utilize dispatch queues for concurrent and synchronized task execution.
