# LeakDetector
## Introduction
`LeakDetector` is based on the implementation from [leakdetector](https://github.com/duyquang91/leakdetector) packge, which in turn is derived from the implementation of a leak detecktor in [UBER's RIB](https://github.com/uber/RIBs/tree/master/ios/RIBs/Classes/LeakDetector) framework.
In parallel to a RxSwift-based implementation, `LeakDetectorCombine` uses `Combine` framework to provide Combine-compatible APIs.
I accidently found another implementation of this `LeakDetector` from [LifeCycleKit](https://github.com/ashare80/LifecycleKit) which shares many similar ideas. The implementation in `LifeCycleKit` has much nicer APIs though. So I recommend you to take a look at the implementation of the `LeakDetector` in `LifeCycleKit` as well.
## Demo
There is a demo project to demostrate different use cases of the library.
This demo app focuses on common mistakes that could lead to retain cycles/memory leaks.
