AutoPropertyInit

AutoPropertyInit is an NSObject category that simplifies the process of initialize properties that are subclasses of NSObject.

Overview

- (void)pp_autoPropertyInit initializes all object properties for that class. For instance NSString property returns an initialized NSString object that contains no characters. NSArray initializes a newly allocated array and so on.

Example usage

Directly in the designated initializer for the class. It is useful for e.g. in data parser, otherwise is better to use lazy loading.

#import "AutoInit.h"
#import "NSObject+AutoPropertyInit.h"

@implementation AutoInit

- (instancetype)init {
    self = [super init];
    if (self) {
        [self pp_autoPropertyInit];
    }
    return self;
}

@end

After object creating.

@interface MyClass : NSObject
@property (readwrite, strong, nonatomic) NSMutableArray *array;
@property (readwrite, strong, nonatomic) NSMutableDictionary *dictionary;
@end

@implementation DoAutoInit
- (void)myMethod {
    MyClass *noAutoInit = [[MyClass alloc] init];
    [noAutoInit pp_autoPropertyInit];
    noAutoInit.array[0] = @"Some text";
    noAutoInit.dictionary[@"key"] = @"value";
}
@end
