Then is a tiny Swift library providing syntactic sugar for object initialization via then(), with(), and do() closure-based helpers. It works with any NSObject subclass or custom types conforming to the Then protocol.

Use cases

  • initialize and configure swift objects in one expression
  • reduce boilerplate when setting up uikit views
  • copy and mutate value types concisely
  • cleaner view controller property setup
  • configure nsobject subclasses without temporary variables

When to choose

  • you write lots of UIKit/SwiftUI-adjacent view setup code in Swift
  • you want concise, readable initializer configuration
  • you need a tiny dependency with no other requirements

When to avoid

  • you don't write Swift
  • you prefer explicit multi-line initialization or already use builder patterns
