“Unlike stored instance properties, you must always give stored type properties a default value. This is because the type itself does not have an initializer that can assign a value to a stored type property at initialization time.”
Excerpt From: Apple Inc. “The Swift Programming Language.” iBooks.
You could use a type property which default value is a closure. So the code in the closure would be executed when the type property(or class variable) is set.
But class stored properties not yet supported (tested in Xcode 8).
One answer is to use static
code>, it is the same as class final.
Good link for that is
Setting a Default Property Value with a Closure or Function
Excerpt From: Apple Inc. “The Swift Programming Language.” iBooks.
Code exampl e:
Prints
start
setting default property value with a closure
So it is lazy evaluated.
