Inherits from SCDataDefinition : NSObject
Declared in SCDictionaryDefinition.h

Overview

This class functions as a means to further extend the key definitions of an NSMutableDictionary.

Using dictionary definitions, classes like SCObjectCell and SCObjectSection will be able to better generate user interface elements that truly represent the keys of their bound mutable dictionaries.

Sample use: // Define the dictionary using SCDictionaryDefinition SCDictionaryDefinition *dictionaryDef = [SCDictionaryDefinition definitionWithDictionaryKeyNamesString:@“key1;key2;key3”]; [dictionaryDef propertyDefinitionWithName:@“key2”].type = SCPropertyTypeSwitch; [dictionaryDef propertyDefinitionWithName:@“key3”].type = SCPropertyTypeSlider;

// Create some sample data
NSMutableDictionary *dictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[dictionary setValue:@"Text" forKey:@"key1"];
[dictionary setValue:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES] forKey:@"key2"];
[dictionary setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.7f] forKey:@"key3"];

// Generate sections for the dictionary
[self.tableViewModel generateSectionsForObject:dictionary withDefinition:dictionaryDef];

Class Methods

definitionWithDictionaryKeyNames:

Allocates and returns an initialized ‘SCDictionaryDefinition’ given the key names of the mutable dictionary to be defined.

+ (instancetype)definitionWithDictionaryKeyNames:(NSArray *)keyNames

Parameters

keyNames

An array of the dictionary key names. All array elements must be of type NSString.

Discussion

By default, all property definitions generated for the given keyNames will have a type of SCPropertyTypeTextField. This can be fully customized after initialization.

Declared In

SCDictionaryDefinition.h

definitionWithDictionaryKeyNames:keyTitles:

Allocates and returns an initialized ‘SCDictionaryDefinition’ given the key names and titles of the mutable dictionary to be defined.

+ (instancetype)definitionWithDictionaryKeyNames:(NSArray *)keyNames keyTitles:(NSArray *)keyTitles

Parameters

keyNames

An array of the dictionary key names. All array elements must be of type NSString.

keyTitles

An array of titles to the keys in keyNames. All array elements must be of type NSString.

Discussion

By default, all property definitions generated for the given keyNames will have a type of SCPropertyTypeTextField. This can be fully customized after initialization.

Declared In

SCDictionaryDefinition.h

definitionWithDictionaryKeyNamesString:

Allocates and returns an initialized ‘SCDictionaryDefinition’ given the key names string of the mutable dictionary to be defined.

+ (instancetype)definitionWithDictionaryKeyNamesString:(NSString *)keyNamesString

Parameters

keyNamesString

A string with the key names separated by semi-colons. Example string: @“firstName;lastName”. Property groups can also be defined in the string using the following format: @“Personal Details:(firstName, lastName); Address:(street, state, country)”. The group title can also be ommitted to create a group with no title. For example: @“:(firstName, lastName)”.

Key names string syntax options: @“key1;key2;key3;…” @“group1 header:(key1, key2,…):group1 footer;group2…”

Discussion

By default, all property definitions generated for the given keyNames will have a type of SCPropertyTypeTextField. This can be fully customized after initialization.
