A little iOS Library with common operations, extensions and UI additions.

Features

Classes

• INBasicTableViewCell: A basic table view cell class for deriving from instead of UITableViewCell to get class methods for loading from a xib file, accessing the cell identifier and registering at a table view.
• INBasicTableViewHeaderFooterView: A basic table header/footer view class for deriving from instead of UITableViewHeaderFooterView which adds some static methods for creation and determination.
• INBasicViewController: A basic view controller which introduces a updateView method for subclasses, has a parentController property and can be loaded from a xib file with a static method.
• INLocalizer: A class for switching the language during runtime and retrieving the corresponding strings from a Localizable.strings file.
• INNavigationController: A UINavigationController substitution which forwards all rotation requests to the current top view controller and may forward any segue for unwinding calls to the destination segue.
• INRandom: A randomizer class which uses arc4random().
• INScrollView: A UIScrollView subclass which can cancel touches on certain view or on views of specific classes.
• INTableView: A UITableView subclass which can cancel touches on certain views or on views of specific classes.
• INWindow: A UIWindow subclass which can ignore special events received by asking a delegate.

• NSBundle: direct shortcut accessors for the bundle identifier and version
• NSDate: Date detail accessing, date comparison, date manipulation, date difference calculations
• NSDictionary / NSMutableDictionary: type safe accessors / setter, custom description method
• NSLocale: shortcut methods for the system's language and country code
• NSObject: Storing an object at runtime, NSNull comparison, a performSelector implementation

• INRound, INCeil and INFloor functions which operates on positions after the period, i.e. INRound(6.66, 1) = 6.7

CoreData

• A separate subspec (to include add to the podfile: pod "INLib/CoreData")
• NSManagedObject: Some shortcut methods for creating new managed objects and retrieving the object's name.
• NSManagedObjectModel: Some helper methods for creating a model, a specific model version and check some compatibility states.
