AkvcExtension

• An extension of KeyPath for KVC.
• Describe complex logic with less code in KeyPath.Reduce programmer doing work.
  1. Access structural value in the KeyPath.
  2. Using Predicate in the KeyPath
  3. Implementing custom function or @NSKeyValueOperator(@avg, @count, ...).
  4. Perform type-safe checks directly in the KeyPath.
  5. One start, more length.
• 用较少的代码描述复杂的逻辑，减少程序员做功
  1. 在KVC中直接访问结构体成员
  2. 在KVC中使用谓词
  3. 实现自定义函数或@NSKeyValueOperator(@avg, @count, ...)
  4. 在KVC中直接进行类型安全的检查
  5. 随手一赞，好运百万

Import

• Drag all source files under folder AkvcExtension to your project.

#import "AkvcExtension.h"

• Or use CocoaPods.

pod 'AkvcExtension'

• iOS & macOS

Overview

Examples

[... akvc_setValue:@(100) forExtensionPath:@"....frame->size->width"];

[... akvc_setValue:@(YES) forExtensionPath:@"...dogs.@:age<1!.smallDog"];

[... akvc_valueForExtensionPath:@"view.subviews.@:hidden == YES!.@removeFromSuperview"];

///myStarts is outlet collections
myStarts
.akvcSetValueForExtensionPath(@(NO), @"seleced")
.akvcSetValueForExtensionPathWithFormat(@(YES), @"@:tag <= %ld!.seleced", sender.tag);

ExtensionPath

All features

Name                   Representation
-------------------------------------
StructPath         :   NSKeyPath->StructKey
Indexer            :   @[...]
PathFunction       :   @PathFunction
Subkey             :   <...>
Regkey             :   <$...$>
SELInspector       :   SEL(...)?
ClassInspector     :   Class(...)?
KeysAccessor       :   {KeyPath,KeyPath, ...}
PredicateFilter    :   @:...!
PredicateEvaluate  :   @:...?
-------------------------------------

StructPath

StructPath can access the structure.

• Accessing properties in a structure using the accessor ->.结构体访问符

@"...NSKeyPath->StructKey->StructKey";

Indexer

Provides a simple way to access array elements in key path.

Provides a simple way to access array elements in key path.
@[0] ; @[0,1] ;

Use the index symbol 'i' to find elements within the array range.
@[i <= 3 , i > 5];

Use the index symbol '!' You can exclude elements from an array.
@[!0,!1] ; @[i != 0 , i != 1] ; @[i<5 , 9] ; @[i<5 , !3] ;

Confirm elements and deny elements cannot exist at the same time.真假不能同时存在！
It's wrong : @[0,!1] ;

PathFunction

PathFunction is a custom NSKeyValueOperator.自定义路径函数

[... akvc_valueForExtensionPath:@"...friendList.@sortFriends..."];

Regist PathFunction

[AkvcExtension registFunction:@"sortFriends" withBlock:^id(id  _Nullable target) {

    //... ...
    //return result;
}];

Default PathFunction 默认路径函数

name
--------------------
@nslog
@isNSNull
@isAllEqual
@isAllDifferent
--------------------

Default behavior

• When an unregistered method is called, the function name is called as selector name. Returns if there is a return value, if no returns the target itself.

id viewThatRemoved = [... akvc_valueForExtensionPath:@"view.@removeFromSuperview"];

• It is legal to use a method with parameters, but it is not recommended. All parameters are the default values.

id mulArraySelf = [mulArray akvc_valueForExtensionPath:@"@removeObjectAtIndex:.@removeObjectAtIndex:"];

Equivalent ==> 

[mulArray removeObjectAtIndex:0];
[mulArray removeObjectAtIndex:0];
id mulArraySelf = mulArray;

Subkey

Sub string of property key.

• Expressions :<...>

`time` can match 'createTime' and 'modifyTime'.

[... akvc_valueForExtensionPath:@"...<time>.@isAllEqual"];

Regkey

Expressions of property key.

• Expressions :<$...$>

`button\\d+` can match 'button0','button1', ...

[... akvc_setValue:@(YES) forExtensionPath:@"...<button\\d+>.hidden"];

SELInspector

If iSELInspector is the last component, it is equivalent to - respondsToSelector: .

• Expressions :SEL(...)?

NSNumber *value = [... akvc_valueForExtensionPath:@"...SEL(addObject:)?"];

If SELInspector is not the last component, it is a condition for whether execute next path.

[... akvc_setValue:@"Trump" forExtensionPath:@"...friend.SEL(setNickName:)?.nickName"];

ClassInspector

If ClassInspector is the last component, it is equivalent to isKindOfClass: .

• Expressions :Class(...)?

[... akvc_valueForExtensionPath:@"...Class(NSArray)?"];

If ClassInspector is not the last component, it is a condition for whether execute next path.

[... akvc_setValue:@"Trump" forExtensionPath:@"...friend.Class(AkvcPerson)?.nickName"];

KeysAccessor

Use Keysaccessor to access multiple paths at once.The returned results are placed sequentially in the array.多键访问，返回按顺的数组

• Discussion : Predicate, Subkey, Regkey are disable in KeysAccessor!In addition,and the nil value will be replaced by NSNull.

• Expressions :{...}

[... akvc_valueForExtensionPath:@"{Breakfast.name, lunch.name, dinner.name}.@isAllEqual"];

PredicateFilter

PredicateFilter equates to - filteredArrayUsingPredicate:

• Expressions :@:PredicateString!

• Discussion : Symbol !. or ?. is forbidden to use, but ?, ! , . are available.

[... akvc_valueForExtensionPath:@"...users.@:age>18 && sex == 0!"];

Use placeholders in ExtensionPath for predicate component

• Discussion : The parameter list accepts only boxed values.Use AkvcBoxValue(...) to wrap scalar.只接受装箱参数

[... akvc_valueForExtensionPathWithPredicateFormat:@"...@:@K == %@!...@:SELF == %@?", object0, object1, object2];

PredicateEvaluate

PredicateEvaluate equates to - evaluateWithObject: . Refert to PredicateFilter

• Expressions :@:PredicateString?

Component ...?

• Class(...)?(ClassInspector), SEL(...)?(SELInspector),@:...? (PredicateEvaluate)
  -All this component has this feafure : If it's not the last component, it will as a condition for whether to execute next path.While false it return nil or do noting, else execute next path.
  • 在路径中时这类组件表示是否执行的条件，false时返回nil或者什么也不做，true时执行之后。

Regist custom struct

• Register a custom struct need 2 method : + registStruct:getterMap: and + registStruct:setterMap:
  • Key of getter map or setter map is member name of structural
  • Value of getter map is a block like __kindof NSValue*(^GetBlockType)(NSValue* value)

@{
    @"size"   :   ^(NSValue* value){
    
        return [NSValue valueWithCGSize:[value CGRectValue].size];
    } ,
    ... ...
}

• Value of setter map is a block like __kindof NSValue*(^SetBlockType)(NSValue* value , id newValue)

@{
    @"size"   :   ^(NSValue* value , id newValue){

        CGRect rect = [value CGRectValue];
        rect.size = [newValue CGSizeValue];
        return [NSValue valueWithCGRect:rect];
    } ,
    ... ...
}

Clean cache

[AkvcExtension cleanCache];

Chain programming

• NSObject+AkvcExtensionChain.h defines the API for chained programming.The return value of all setter is target itself.

_NonnullObject.akvcSetValueForExtensionPath(...)akvcSetValueForExtensionPath(...)...
