## What it is
A Swift framework that adds closure-based handlers to popular UIKit and Foundation classes, replacing delegation, data source, and target-action patterns with concise closure syntax. It supports method chaining and covers controls, gesture recognizers, table/collection views, pickers, text fields, and KVO.

## Use cases
- handle uibutton taps with closures instead of target-action
- replace uitableview delegate and datasource with closure handlers
- add gesture recognizers to views in one line
- configure uitextfield delegate callbacks using chained closures
- populate uipickerview with strings via closures
- observe kvo changes with closure handlers

## When to choose
- you prefer closure-based APIs over delegation patterns in iOS development
- you want concise, chainable syntax for common UIKit callbacks
- you want to reduce boilerplate for table views, collection views, and controls

## When to avoid
- your project targets newer Swift/UIKit versions and needs actively maintained dependencies
- your team follows strict delegation-based architecture conventions
- you need SwiftUI-first solutions rather than UIKit extensions
