swift - 无法推断通用参数 'Entity'

Question

我不确定为什么 Swift 无法推断出我作为参数显式传入的类型。

在下面的获取管理器上，当我尝试加载“Entity”类型的对象时，出现错误。

generic parameter 'Entity' could not be inferred

class EventsViewController: UIViewController {
  private let fetchManager = FetchManager()
  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    fetchManager.willPerformQuery = {}
    // generic parameter 'Entity' could not be inferred
    fetchManager.loadObjects(ofType: Event) { (outcome) in
      switch outcome {
      case .success(let events):
        print("Entities: \(events.count)")
      case .failure(let code):
        switch code {
        case .connectionUnavailable:
          print("1")
        case .notAuthenticated:
          print("2")
        case .retry:
          print("3")
        case .serviceUnavailable:
          print("4")
        case .unknown:
          print("5")
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

class FetchManager {
  private let database: ReadableDatabase = CloudKitDatabase()
  var willPerformQuery: () -> Void = {}
  func loadObjects<Entity: Queryable & CloudKitInitable>(ofType type: Entity, withCompletion completion: @escaping (FetchOutcome<Entity>) -> Void) {
    database.loadObjects(matching: Entity.query, willPerformQuery: { [weak self] (_) in
      self?.willPerformQuery()
    }, didPerformQuery: { (outcome) in
      switch outcome {
      case .success(let files):
        let entities: [Entity] = files.compactMap(Entity.init)
        completion(FetchOutcome<Entity>.success(entities))
      case .failure(let code):
        completion(FetchOutcome<Entity>.failure(code))
      }
    })
  }
}

引用类型本身(访问其“元类型”)的语法是TypeName.self。在这种情况下，您将使用 Event.self:

fetchManager.loadObjects(ofType: Event.self) { (outcome) in 
                                      ^~~~~

方法签名还应该使用 Entity.Type 进行更新，以便编译器可以知道它需要类型 information 而不是类型 instance :

func loadObjects<Entity: Queryable & CloudKitInitable>(ofType type: Entity.Type, ...) {
...
}
