Swift Alternative to Objective-C Macros

Read Original

This article discusses replacing Objective-C #define macros with Swift constants (let keyword) to avoid magic values. It covers organizing constants by scope: local to a function, within a class/struct, or globally in a separate file. The author provides examples like storyboard segue identifiers and iOS version checks, emphasizing using constants over enumerations for simpler cases. Targeted at iOS developers transitioning from Objective-C to Swift.
