Usage Example

Using KeyPath

let allTaxes = [
    TaxAmount(name: "Import Tax", amount: 3.00),
    TaxAmount(name: "Sales Tax", amount: 1.75),
    TaxAmount(name: "Import Tax", amount: 2.30)
]

let consolidatedTaxes = allTaxes.consolidated(by: \.name) {
    TaxAmount(tax: $0.name, amount: $0.amount + $1.amount)
}

// Would result in:

let consolidatedTaxes = [
    TaxAmount(name: "Import Tax", amount: 5.30),
    TaxAmount(name: "Sales Tax", amount: 4.10)
]

Using Closures

let allTaxes = [
    TaxAmount(name: "Import Tax", amount: 3.00),
    TaxAmount(name: "Sales Tax", amount: 1.75),
    TaxAmount(name: "Import Tax", amount: 2.30)
]

let consolidatedTaxes = allTaxes.consolidated(by: { $0.name == $1.name }) {
    TaxAmount(tax: $0.name, amount: $0.amount + $1.amount)
}

// Would result in:

 let consolidatedTaxes = [
    TaxAmount(name: "Import Tax", amount: 5.30),
    TaxAmount(name: "Sales Tax", amount: 4.10)
]

Using Consolidatable Protocol

struct TaxAmount: Consolidatable {

    let name: String
    let amount: Decimal

    var consolidationGroup: AnyHashable {
        return name
    }

    func consolidate(with other: Self) -> Self {
        return .init(name: name, amount: amount + other.amount)
    }
}

The above implementation would consolidate like this:

let taxes = [
    TaxAmount(name: "Import Tax", amount: 3.00),
    TaxAmount(name: "Sales Tax", amount: 1.75),
    TaxAmount(name: "Import Tax", amount: 2.30)
].consolidated()

// Results in:

let taxes = [
    TaxAmount(name: "Import Tax", amount: 5.30),
    TaxAmount(name: "Sales Tax", amount: 4.10)
]

Consolidate into single item (throws if unable to)

There may be times where you want to consolidate a collection of elements into a single element. For this, there exists the array extension consolidatedIntoSingle. It is functionally similar to the other consolidation methods, except its return type is of type Element rather than [Element]. This means that the collection has to be consolidatable to a single element. If the collection can’t be consolidated to a single element, then the method will throw the error ConsolidationError.couldNotBeConolidatedIntoSingleElement.

let allTaxes = [
    TaxAmount(name: "Import Tax", amount: 3.00),
    TaxAmount(name: "Sales Tax", amount: 1.75),
    TaxAmount(name: "Import Tax", amount: 2.30)
]

// The line below would throw `ConsolidationError.couldNotBeConolidatedIntoSingleElement`,
// since the taxes can't be consolidated into a single tax when using the name key-path.

let consolidatedTax = try allTaxes.consolidatedIntoSingle(by: \.name) {
    TaxAmount(tax: $0.name, amount: $0.amount + $1.amount)
}

Whereas:

let allTaxes = [
    TaxAmount(name: "Import Tax", amount: 3.00),
    TaxAmount(name: "Import Tax", amount: 2.30)
]

let consolidatedTax = try allTaxes.consolidatedIntoSingle(by: \.name) {
    TaxAmount(tax: $0.name, amount: $0.amount + $1.amount)
}

// Since all taxes have the name "Import Tax", they can be consolidated into a single tax
// when using the name key-path. The result would be:

let consolidatedTax = [
    TaxAmount(name: "Import Tax", amount: 5.30)
]
