Passing functions as parameters in Swift

Question

I have the following function working as I expect, in iOS 8:

func showConfirmBox(msg:String, title:String,
    firstBtnStr:String,
    secondBtnStr:String,
    c

Just in case anyone else stumbles upon this. I worked out an updated simple solution for Swift 5.1 while I was working through this for while building a global alert utility for a project.

Swift 5.1

Function with Closure:

func showSheetAlertWithOneAction(messageText: String, dismissButtonText: String, actionButtonText : String, presentingView : NSWindow, actionButtonClosure: @escaping () -> Void) {
        let alert = NSAlert()
        alert.messageText = messageText
        alert.addButton(withTitle: actionButtonText)
        alert.addButton(withTitle: dismissButtonText)
        alert.beginSheetModal(for: presentingView) { (response) in
            if response == .alertFirstButtonReturn {
                actionButtonClosure()
            }
        }
    }

Function Called:

showSheetAlertWithOneAction(messageText: "Here's a message", dismissButtonText: "Nope", actionButtonText: "Okay", presentingView: self.view.window!) {
                                            someFunction()
                                }
