Cancel a timed event in Swift?

Question

I want to run a block of code in 10 seconds from an event, but I want to be able to cancel it so that if something happens before those 10 seconds, the code won\'t run after

Answer 1

You need to do this:

class WorkItem {

private var pendingRequestWorkItem: DispatchWorkItem?

func perform(after: TimeInterval, _ block: @escaping VoidBlock) {
    // Cancel the currently pending item
    pendingRequestWorkItem?.cancel()

    // Wrap our request in a work item
    let requestWorkItem = DispatchWorkItem(block: block)

    pendingRequestWorkItem = requestWorkItem

    DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + after, execute: 
    requestWorkItem)
}
}

// to use

lazy var workItem = WorkItem()

private func onMapIdle() {

    workItem.perform(after: 1.0) {

       self.handlePOIListingSearch()
    }
}
