Pass function to completion handler

I have a function that performs an animation on a view. I would like to implement a completion handler for this function that would be called after the animation is complete.

In ViewController...

hudView.hide(animated: true, myCompletionHandler: {
    // Animation is complete
})

In HudView class...

func hide(animated: Bool, myCompletionHandler: () -> Void) {
    if animated {
        transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 0.7, y: 0.7)

        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, delay: 0, usingSpringWithDamping: 0.7, initialSpringVelocity: 0.5, options: [], animations: {
            self.alpha = 0
            self.transform = CGAffineTransform.identity
        }, completion: nil) // I want to run 'myCompletionHandler' in this completion handler
    }
}

I've tried a number of things but can't find the correct syntax:

}, completion: myCompletionHandler)

Passing non-escaping parameter 'myCompletionHandler' to function expecting an @escaping closure

}, completion: myCompletionHandler())

Cannot convert value of type 'Void' to expected argument type '((Bool) -> Void)?'

}, completion: { myCompletionHandler() })

Closure use of non-escaping parameter 'myCompletionHandler' may allow it to escape

As a swift novice these error messages don't mean very much to me and I cant seem to find any examples of the correct way to do this.

What is the correct way to pass myCompletionHandler to the .animate completion handler?

If you want to pass your own closure as an input argument to UIView.animate, you need to match the types of the closures, so myCompletionHandler has to have a type of ((Bool) -> ())?, just like completion.

func hide(animated: Bool, myCompletionHandler: ((Bool) -> ())?) {
    if animated {
        transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 0.7, y: 0.7)

        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, delay: 0, usingSpringWithDamping: 0.7, initialSpringVelocity: 0.5, options: [], animations: {
            self.alpha = 0
            self.transform = CGAffineTransform.identity
        }, completion: myCompletionHandler) // I want to run 'myCompletionHandler' in this completion handler
    }
}

This is how you can call it:

hudView.hide(animated: true, myCompletionHandler: { success in
    //animation is complete
})

This is how to use completion in UIView.animate :

func hide(animated: Bool, myCompletionHandler: () -> Void) {
    if animated {
        transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 0.7, y: 0.7)

        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, delay: 0, usingSpringWithDamping: 0.7, initialSpringVelocity: 0.5, options: [], animations: {
            self.alpha = 0
            self.transform = CGAffineTransform.identity
        }, completion: { (success) in
            myCompletionHandler()
        })
    }
}

You can create your function as,

func hide(_ animated:Bool, completionBlock:((Bool) -> Void)?){

}

And you can call it as,

self.hide(true) { (success) in
   // callback here     
}
