BLFixedThreadOperations

[](https://travis-ci.org/Bell App Lab/BLFixedThreadOperations)

A wrapper around NSThread to mimic NSOperationQueues, but make them work with a single thread. The main purpose of this library is to create a familiar interface (based on NSOperations) to handle NSThreads. This is particularly handy when dealing with other non-thread-safe libraries that cannot be handled by dispatch queues or NSOperationQueues.

Usage

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

Installation

CocoaPods

BLFixedThreadOperations is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod "BLFixedThreadOperations"

Git Submodules

Why submodules, you ask?

Following this thread and other similar to it, and given that Cocoapods only works with Swift by adding the use_frameworks! directive, there's a strong case for not bloating the app up with too many frameworks. Although git submodules are a bit trickier to work with, the burden of adding dependencies should weigh on the developer, not on the user. 😉

To install BLFixedThreadOperations using git submodules:

cd toYourProjectsFolder
git submodule add -b Submodule --name BLFixedThreadOperations https://github.com/BellAppLab/BLFixedThreadOperations.git

Navigate to the new BLFixedThreadOperations folder and drag the Pods folder to your Xcode project.
