iOS Dev Nugget 291 Implicit Member Expressions

.

Need to run a code review on your codebase? Hire me

You have probably used Implicit Member Expressions without knowing what it's called:

var color: UIColor?
color = .white

i.e. the member of a type can be accessed from an inferred type.

You can access static functions:

foo(i: .createInstance())

Did you know that it works with .init() too?

class C {
    static func foo() -> C {
        return .init()
    }
}
func bar(c: C) {}

bar(c: .init())

Notice the 2 calls to init() above.
