✨ Super sweet syntactic sugar for Swift initializers.

## At a Glance

Initialize UILabel **then** set its properties.

```swift
let label = UILabel().then {
$0.textAlignment = .center
$0.textColor = .black
$0.text = "Hello, World!"
}
```

This is equivalent to:

```swift
let label: UILabel = {
let label = UILabel()
label.textAlignment = .center
label.textColor = .black
label.text = "Hello, World!"
return label
}()
```

## Tips and Tricks

- You can use `then()` to all of `NSObject` subclasses.

```swift
let queue = OperationQueue().then {
$0.maxConcurrentOperationCount = 1
}
```

- Want to use with your own types? Just make extensions.

```swift
extension MyType: Then {}

let instance = MyType().then {
$0.really = "awesome!"
}
```

- Use `with()` when copying the value types.

```swift
let newFrame = oldFrame.with {
$0.size.width = 200
$0.size.height = 100
}
newFrame.width // 200
newFrame.height // 100
```

- Use `do()` to do something with less typing.

```swift
UserDefaults.standard.do {
$0.set("devxoul", forKey: "username")
$0.set("[email protected]", forKey: "email")
$0.synchronize()
}
```

## Real World Example

Here's an example usage in an UIViewController subclass.

```swift
final class MyViewController: UIViewController {

let titleLabel = UILabel().then {
$0.textColor = .black
$0.textAlignment = .center
}

let tableView = UITableView().then {
$0.backgroundColor = .clear
$0.separatorStyle = .none
$0.register(MyCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "myCell")
}

override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.view.addSubview(self.titleLabel)
self.view.addSubview(self.tableView)
}

}
```
