How to implement two inits with same content without code duplication in Swift?

Question

Assume a class that is derived from UIView as follows:

class MyView: UIView {
    var myImageView: UIImageView

    init(frame: CGRect) {
               


        

Answer 1

What we need is a common place to put our initialization code before calling any superclass's initializers, so what I currently using, shown in a code below. (It also cover the case of interdependence among defaults and keep them constant.)

import UIKit

class MyView: UIView {
        let value1: Int
        let value2: Int

        enum InitMethod {
                case coder(NSCoder)
                case frame(CGRect)
        }

        override convenience init(frame: CGRect) {
                self.init(.frame(frame))!
        }

        required convenience init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
                self.init(.coder(aDecoder))
        }

        private init?(_ initMethod: InitMethod) {
                value1 = 1
                value2 = value1 * 2 //interdependence among defaults

                switch initMethod {
                case let .coder(coder): super.init(coder: coder)
                case let .frame(frame): super.init(frame: frame)
                }
        }
}
