删除NotificationCenter的观察器-“变量在其自身的初始值内使用”

Question

I do not understand how to remove an observer for a notification using a block.

var block = NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: .notifName, object: obj, queue: OperationQueue.current, using: { notification in
            NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(block)

            // Do stuff
        })

This presents a compiler error "Variable used within its own initial value". How can I remove this observer?

Answer 1

The compiler complains because it does not "know" that the closure is executed only after the observer has been created and assigned to the variable.

You can declare the observer variable as an implicitly unwrapped optional because it is guaranteed to have a value when the block is executed:

var observer: NSObjectProtocol!
observer = NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: ..., object: ..., queue: ...,
                                                  using: { notification in

    NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(observer)

    // Do stuff
})
