Swift mutable structs in closure of class and struct behave differently

Question

I have a class(A) that has a struct variable (S). In one function of this class I call a mutating function on struct variable,this function takes a closure. Body of this closure

Answer 1

How about this?

import Foundation
import XCPlayground


protocol ViewModel {
  var delegate: ViewModelDelegate? { get set }
}

protocol ViewModelDelegate {
  func viewModelDidUpdated(model: ViewModel)
}

struct ViewModelStruct: ViewModel {
  var data: Int = 0
  var delegate: ViewModelDelegate?

  init() {
  }

  mutating func fetchData() {
    XCPlaygroundPage.currentPage.needsIndefiniteExecution = true
    NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithURL(NSURL(string: "http://stackoverflow.com")!) {
       result in
      self.data = 20
      self.delegate?.viewModelDidUpdated(self)
      print("viewModel.data in fetchResponse : \(self.data)")

      XCPlaygroundPage.currentPage.finishExecution()
      }.resume()
  }
}

protocol ViewModeling {
  associatedtype Type
  var viewModel: Type { get }
}

typealias ViewModelProvide = protocol

class ViewController: ViewModelProvide {
  var viewModel = ViewModelStruct() {
    didSet {
      viewModel.delegate = self
      print("ViewModel in didSet \(viewModel)")
    }
  }

  func viewDidLoad() {
    viewModel = ViewModelStruct()
  }

  func changeViewModelStruct() {
    print(viewModel)
    viewModel.fetchData()
  }
}

extension ViewModelDelegate where Self: ViewController {
  func viewModelDidUpdated(viewModel: ViewModel) {
    self.viewModel = viewModel as! ViewModelStruct
  }
}

var c = ViewController()
c.viewDidLoad()
c.changeViewModelStruct()

In your solution 2, 3, it need to assign new View Model in ViewController. So I wanna make it automatically by using Protocol Extension. didSet observer works well! But this need to remove force casting in delegate method.
