Brandon from Kickstarter joins us and shows how the company uses view models to write highly testable code. We integrate Apple Pay payments and look at Kickstarter's open-source codebase.
A lot of code that we write relies on the current date in some way. Whether it’s cache invalidation, handling time sensitive data, or keeping track of durations, we usually simply perform comparisons against Date(). However, writing tests against code that uses such date comparisons can sometimes be a bit tricky.
If you’re mostly in the business of coding up closures to pass off to other functions as callbacks, you may not have run into the concept of an “escaping closure” yet.
