Is sink() preferred over assign()?

[simensol]

In all the examples in the documentation, the sink() subscriber is used. For example:

let cancellable = publisher.sink(
    receiveCompletion: { completion in ... },
    receiveValue: { (players: [Player]) in
        print("Fresh players: \(players)")
    })

Are there any reasons we should not use assign() with GRDBCombine?

Hello again @simensol,

GRDBCombine publishers are regular Combine publishers, and they can feed any Combine Subscriber. You can dump them into sink, assign, and process them in any possible way.

So one can argue that all the sink examples in the documentation are unnecessary. And even, as your question reveals, confusing.

I'll try to find a better balance in the way documentation is written. Until then, please dump those publishers wherever you want to :-)

Alright, thanks for answering (again)! And thanks for making this fabulous package!

You're welcome! We're all learning about Combine :-)
