MessageBox Concept

MessageBox is a simple concept for decoupling entities. Think of it as notifications but the opposite.

  • For example entity A can place a message that entity B can read whenever suitable – not at once like notifications.
  • A view controller would like to talk to another view controller, but you don't want to create a strong or weak relationship.

Simple Example Usage

let messageBox:MessageBox = MessageBox()

// set
messageBox.setObject("TestObject1", forKey:"TestKey1")

// get
// but don't remove it, keep it stored, so that it can still be retrieved later
let someObject:String = messageBox.getObject(forKey:"TestKey1", removeIfFound:false)

// get
// and remove it
let someObject:String = messageBox.getObject(forKey:"TestKey1", removeIfFound:true)

How to Install

There is no framework/library distibution, I recommend that you add the MessageBox-Concept/Sources to your project. As this will allow you to easily find & read the MessageBox API, it will also allow MessageBox to compile using your apps build settings.

  • Git: run git clone https://github.com/MKGitHub/MessageBox-Concept.git then Drag & Drop the MessageBox-Concept/Sources into your Xcode project.
  • Manual: Drag & Drop the MessageBox-Concept/Sources into your Xcode project.
  • Carthage: In your Cartfile add github "MKGitHub/MessageBox-Concept" ~> 1.1.1 then carthage update --no-build then Drag & Drop the MessageBox-Concept/Sources into your Xcode project.
  • Swift Package Manager (still quite meaningless): run swift build or swift package generate-xcodeproj
  • CocoaPods (not recommended!): pod 'MessageBox', '~> 1.1.1'
