One of my developer quirks, (i.e. a sign that you're looking at my code) is that I avoid 'default' in switch statements. If a new enum case is added, I want my code to break. For example, I don't do this:
switch format {
case .date: // Handle date
case .dateTime: // Handle dateTime
default: break
}
If a new kind of date format is added, (e.g. dateTimeLocal), this will continue to compile. This is bad. I want the compiler to direct my attention to this switch so that I know I need to support the new case. My code would look like this:
switch format {
case .date: // Handle date
case .dateTime: // Handle dateTime
case .text, .richText, .number:
break
}
If a new type is added (date or otherwise), I’ll be forced to revisit this switch.
