How to use dependency injection for classes in Swift

Read Original

This technical article explains how to apply dependency injection to static methods and classes in Swift, a common challenge in untestable legacy code. It demonstrates using type references (e.g., `Foo.Type`) and a protocol-based pattern to mock dependencies, enabling unit testing without major refactoring. The post includes code examples and cautions about testing behavior over implementation details.
