dispatch(priority:_:)

Dispatches an async action from a @MainActor synchronous context (e.g. a SwiftUI button handler or a UIKit @objc action) into an unstructured Task.

@discardableResult @MainActor func dispatch(priority: TaskPriority? = nil, _ action: @escaping @Sendable () async -> Void) -> Task<Void, Never>

Parameters

priority: An optional TaskPriority for the spawned task. Pass nil (the default) to inherit the priority of the calling context.
action: The async work to run. Captured self references should be weak — the closure outlives the calling stack frame.

Return Value

The created unstructured Task. The result is discardable. If the view is destroyed before the action completes, the task continues running; cancel manually if you need that behaviour.

Discussion

Used to forward user events from views into actor-isolated interactors without blocking the view layer. The view stays synchronous; the dispatched task picks up the work and awaits the actor.

Usage

SwiftUI:

Button("Logout") {
    dispatch { await listener?.didTapLogout() }
}

UIKit @objc action:

@objc private func logoutButtonTapped() {
    dispatch { [weak self] in
        await self?.listener?.didTapLogout()
    }
}
