If you want code to be able to insert, but not delete from or otherwise freely
change, the dictionary value, you could provide a wrapper type for myDict that
provides a restricted mutation API:
struct InsertOnlyDictionary {
private(set) var value = [String: String]()
mutating func insert(_ k: String, _ v: String) {
value[k] = v
}
}
// Code outside of InsertOnlyDictionary can read its `value`, but can only
modify it by its `insert` API
class MyClass {
private var myDict = InsertOnlyDictionary()
func addMember() {
self.myDict.insert("key", "value")
}
}
