Dictionify

Dictionify want to solve the needs of convert objects to dictionary with simple step. By using Dictionify, you don’t have to write boring code for each class like

dictionary["myPropertyA"] = self.myPropertyA
dictionary["myPropertyB"] = self.myPropertyB
. . .

(or by overriding decode/encode(withCoder))

When you subclass Dictionify, and tag your property with “dynamic”, you gain the power of calling toDictionary() to get your dictionary that contain all properties in your class. Also, we allow you to init a object with dictionary. Even more, Dictionify can recorgnize properties in dictionary those are also Dictionify subclass(Included in an Array),instantiate them and put right back in. For example:

    class Person :Dictionify {
        dynamic var name :String
        dynamic var likedBook :[Book]
        init(name:String){
            self.name = name
            likedBook = []
        }
    }
    class Book :Dictionify{
        dynamic var name :String
        dynamic var content :String
    }
    var ben = Person(name:Ben)
    var book = Book("I love",content:"Bla Bla Bla...")
    ben.likedBook = [book]
    var benDict = ben.toDictionary(withClassName: true) /// when with class name, Dictionify can instantiate archived property with proper class.
    var anotherBen = Person(benDict)
    var anotherBook = anotherBen.likedBook.first
