Discussion: New structure for declarative programming about swift-request

[carson-katri]

Great suggestion. I think we'll have to avoid Self in the protocol so we can form an Array of the items. It would probably work well without being a static func:

protocol RequestParam {
  /// Here the param can modify the `URLRequest` in any way necessary.
  func buildParam(_ request: inout URLRequest)
}

struct Body: RequestParam {
  ...
  public func buildParam(_ request: inout URLRequest) {
    request.httpBody = data
  }
}

We may also want to pass the URLSession in case they need to modify that. This also opens the possibility for user-created params :)

You can work with opaque type but I don't know very much about that technique

Awesome suggestion! This will make request so much cleaner 👏🏻

I will keep this topic open so we can track PR and discuss at any time.

About URLSession, I guess that this could be pass to RequestParam or maybe to other protocol that extends RequestParam, so Request struct can call the function, for example, trackSession(_ session: URLSession), after request starts.
