Hello @bdmoakley,
I’m starting to get the hang of protocols, but there is one thing I am not understanding with the ones we made in this course (thus far)
All our protocol methods are passing the ItemDetailViewController back to the CheckListViewController. I do not understand why we are passing the whole controller? I understand passing the ChecklistItem, as we make use of these to update the UITableView. However, as far as I can see, we never actually do anything with this ‘controller’ parameter
I tested deleting this parameter/argument from the protocols and methods, and everything works fine.
I apologize if I’m jumping the gun and we make use of this in a few lessons.
Often times, we’ll pass back a controller to make any additional alterations to it (if we need to). In our case, we’re just dismissing the controller but there may be a situation where you may need to do some clean-up operations or getting additional data from it. By passing back the controller, we have access to it. But, if we don’t need it, we can just disregard it.
Hello @bdmoakley
Everytime I’m refactoring the file gets deleted instead.
→ I make sure name is highlighted → control klik → refactor → rename → rename to new name → click refactor → everywhere it’s renamed but file itself is red and deleted.
Do you know why?
Xcode version 10.1
That sounds like a bug. Not sure what is going on. Honestly, I’ve found Xcode’s refactoring tools to be really twitchy overall. Sometimes the work. Sometimes they don’t. I would download the latest version of xcode and see how it behaves.
