Some simple and lightweight additions to the Core Data stack to help reduce the boilerplate code in your app.

Overview

SJODataStore

This class manages the Core Data setup and initialisation for an application. The model is automatically loaed from the bundle, and lightweight migration is enabled. Best practice would be to create an SJODataStore as a property on your appDelegate, then pass this to the view controllers as needed.

NSManagedObject(SJODataKitAdditions)

Additions to NSManagedObject to reduce boilerplate and simplify common operations. These methods never should never be called directly on NSManagedObject (e.g. [NSManagedObject entityName]), but instead only on subclasses.

SJOSearchableFetchedResultsController

This class provides a simpler way to replicate the often-used pattern of a searchable Core Data-backed table view. Must be used as a subclass.
