What are dependency injection approaches for Keychain in Swift?

Dependency injection is a design pattern used in Swift to promote loose coupling and enhance testability in your applications. When working with the Keychain, there are several approaches you can take to implement dependency injection effectively. Below are some common methods:

1. Constructor Injection

In this approach, the Keychain service is passed as a parameter to the class that needs it during initialization.

class KeychainService { func save(key: String, value: String) { /* Implementation */ } func retrieve(key: String) -> String? { /* Implementation */ } } class UserService { private let keychain: KeychainService init(keychain: KeychainService) { self.keychain = keychain } func saveUserToken(token: String) { keychain.save(key: "userToken", value: token) } }

2. Property Injection

With property injection, the Keychain service is assigned to a property of the class after it is initialized.

class UserService { private var keychain: KeychainService! func injectKeychain(keychain: KeychainService) { self.keychain = keychain } func saveUserToken(token: String) { keychain.save(key: "userToken", value: token) } }

3. Method Injection

In method injection, the Keychain service is passed directly to the method that requires it.

class UserService { func saveUserToken(token: String, keychain: KeychainService) { keychain.save(key: "userToken", value: token) } }
