Conditional assignment operator
Very often developers need to build dictionaries from optional values. Sure, it’s pretty easy to do it in Swift, right? It’s just [String: Any?] , so why write a blog post about it? We will use it as one of our use cases for our handy conditional assignment operator. (more…)
