Can i make a duplicate class as i can with functions - swift

Question

So i have this code where i'm trying to make an task handler for requests. But in some cases the request doesn't get an model in response and therefor i don't want it to process any data. Hard to explain, but code shown below:
class UserTask<T: Codable>: ExecuteProtocol {
let userType: UserRequests
init(userType: UserRequests) {
self.userType = userType
}
var request: URLRequest {
return userType.build
}
public func run(completion: #escaping ((Response<T, NAError>) ->())) {
executeRequest(request: request) { (response) in
switch response {
case .success(let data):
completion(NADecoder<T>.decode(data: data).model)
break
case .failure(let error):
completion(.failure(error))
break
}
}
}
}
class UserTask: ExecuteProtocol {
let userType: UserRequests
init(userType: UserRequests) {
self.userType = userType
}
var request: URLRequest {
return userType.build
}
public func run(completion: #escaping ((Response<Any?, NAError>) ->())) {
executeRequest(request: request) { (response) in
switch response {
case .success(let data):
completion(.success(nil))
break
case .failure(let error):
completion(.failure(error))
break
}
}
}
}
This of course say Invalid redeclaration of 'UserTask' But can i do this in any smooth way? I have tried making the Codable optional and then unwrapping it. But as i want to keep the type of it in Decodable purpose it doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions?

There is no need to create multiple classes for same functionality. You simply need to make some changes to a single class to support both your use-cases.
Instead of adding generic <T> to the class UserTask, add it to method run(completion:), i.e.
class UserTask: ExecuteProtocol {
let userType: UserRequests
init(userType: UserRequests) {
self.userType = userType
}
var request: URLRequest {
return userType.build
}
public func run<T: Codable>(type: T.Type, completion: #escaping ((Response<T?, NAError>) ->())) {
//your code here...
}
}
Call it like,
task.run(type: YourType.self) { (response) in
//add your code here...
}
