How do I create custom Combine operators?

Creating custom Combine operators in Swift can allow for more expressive and reusable code when dealing with asynchronous events. Custom operators can encapsulate specific logic or behavior that can be reused across different publishers in your Combine pipeline.

Example of Creating a Custom Combine Operator

Below is an example of how to create a simple custom operator that filters even numbers from a stream of integers.

import Combine extension Publisher where Output == Int { func filterEven() -> Publishers.Filter { return self.filter { $0 % 2 == 0 } } } // Usage let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] let publisher = numbers.publisher let cancellable = publisher .filterEven() .sink(receiveValue: { print($0) }) // Output: 2, 4, 6
