[ Some Cool Picture Here ]

DMMSecretary is a library to hold or forward NSNotifications as you'd like.

Why would I want that?

Let's say there is a notification you're interested in but for some reason you won't be able to respond to it.

DMMSecretaryNotification *notification = [DMMSecretaryNotification secretaryNotificaionWithObserver:self selector:@selector(someMethod:) name:@"NotificationNameIWant" object:nil];
[[DMMSecretary sharedSecretary] createInbox:@"UniqueInboxIdentifier" notifications:@[notification]];

That will create you an inbox & set you up to receive notifications. No different than registering with [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]

[[DMMSecretary sharedSecretary] startHoldingMessagesForInbox:@"UniqueInboxIdentifier"];

Maybe we only care about a single copy of a notification instead of receiving a possible flood of UIKeyboardDidShowNotification for example. Simply run

[[DMMSecretary sharedSecretary] onlyKeepUniqueMessages:YES forInboxIdentifier:@"UniqueInboxIdentifier"];

Now, if 'NotificationNameIWant' happens we won't receive it, the secretary is holding notifications for us.

When we do want our notifications forwarded to us, we can just call

[[DMMSecretary sharedSecretary] sendHeldNotificationsForInbox:@"UniqueInboxIdentifier"];

To ask the secretary to stop holding our notifications we can call

[[DMMSecretary sharedSecretary] stopHoldingMessagesForInbox:@"UniqueInboxIdentifier"];

Generating Code Coverage Report

Since I haven't figured out how to automate the process of generating code coverage to have a cool badge, its currently a manual process. Slather & coveralls are currently used for automated coverage reporting.

Local code coverage reports currently uses http://frankencover.it which has instructions more or less explaining how I set this all up.

To generate code coverage reports just run

$ scripts/generateCodeCoverage.sh DMMSecretary

from within the root of the project.
