dispatch_after - GCD in Swift?

Question

I\'ve gone through the iBook from Apple, and couldn\'t find any definition of it:

Can someone explain the structure of dispatch_after?

Answer 1

Swift 3 & 4:

You can create a extension on DispatchQueue and add function delay which uses DispatchQueue asyncAfter function internally

extension DispatchQueue {
    static func delay(_ delay: DispatchTimeInterval, closure: @escaping () -> ()) {
        let timeInterval = DispatchTime.now() + delay
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: timeInterval, execute: closure)
    }
}

use:

DispatchQueue.delay(.seconds(1)) {
    print("This is after delay")
}
