Waiting for multiple asynchronous download tasks

by

In Swift 4,

func executeMultiTask() {
     //1. Create group
     let taskGroup = DispatchGroup()

     //2. Enter group
     taskGroup.enter()
     myTask1.execute(completeHandler: {
         // ...
         //3. Leave group
         taskGroup.leave() //< balance with taskGroup.enter()
     })

     /* Add more tasks ...
     //2. Enter group
     taskGroup.enter()
     myTask2.execute(completeHandler: {
         //3. Leave group
         defer {
            // Use `defer` to make sure, `leave()` calls are balanced with `enter()`.
            taskGroup.leave() 
         }
         // ... more
     })
     */

     //4. Notify when all task completed at main thread queue.
     taskGroup.notify(queue: .main) { 
         // All tasks are done.
         // ...   
     }

}
