NanoStoreModel 0.2.0

Maintained by Unclaimed.

You want to add pod 'NanoStoreModel', '~> 0.2' similar to the following to your Podfile:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'NanoStoreModel', '~> 0.2'
end

Then run a pod install inside your terminal, or from CocoaPods.app.

Alternatively to give it a test run, run the command:

pod try NanoStoreModel

NanoStoreModel 0.2.0

Quick and easy way to use NanoStore objects as your model.

NanoStoreModel composite of two parts: a model DSL and a thin layer of Objective-C classes provide dynamic attributes accessor, initializer, finders, helpers and KVO.

Stage: Proof of concept. Don't use it in production yet, but try it out and see if it works!

How It Works

Define your model.
Use the model class directly or subclass them.

Define a Model

Define property normally as you would for your subclass of NSMObject.

For the properties that are of supported types (NSArray, NSDictionary, NSString, NSData, NSDate, NSNumber), the values will be persisted.
For the properties that are NSFNanoBag, the key of the bag will be persisted.
Other properties are ignored.

@interface User : NSMObject
@property (strong) NSString* name;
@property (strong) NSNumber* age;
@property (strong) NSDate* createdAt;
@property (strong) NSFNanoBag* cars;
@end

@implementation User
@dynamic name, age, createdAt;
@end

Using the Model

// Instantiate a NanoStore and open it
NSFNanoStore *nanoStore = [NSFNanoStore createAndOpenStoreWithType:NSFMemoryStoreType path:nil error:nil];

// Create an User
User *user = [User model];
user.name = @"Joe";
user.age = @20;
user.createdAt = [NSDate date];

// Add it to the document store
[nanoStore addObject:object error:nil];

// Save the Store
[nanoStore saveStoreAndReturnError:nil];

// Close the document store
[nanoStore closeWithError:nil];

Using Bags

// Instantiate a NanoStore and open it
NSFNanoStore *nanoStore = [NSFNanoStore createAndOpenStoreWithType:NSFMemoryStoreType path:nil error:nil];

// Create an User
User *user = [User modelWithDictionary:@{@"name": @"Joe", @"age": @18, @"createdAt": [NSDate date]}];

// Add a bag
user.cars = [NSFNanoBag bag];

// Add object to bag
[user.cars addObject:[Car modelWithDictionary:@{@"name": @"Honda"}] error:nil];

// Add them to the document store
[nanoStore addObject:user error:nil];
[nanoStore addObject:user.cars error:nil];

// Save the Store
[nanoStore saveStoreAndReturnError:nil];

// Close the document store
[nanoStore closeWithError:nil];
