CBLDynamicObject Class Reference

Detailed Description

A generic class with runtime support for dynamic properties.

You can subclass this and declare properties in the subclass without needing to implement them or make instance variables; simply note them as '@dynamic' in the @implementation. The dynamic accessors will be bridged to calls to -getValueOfProperty: and setValue:ofProperty:, allowing you to easily store property values in an NSDictionary or other container.

Method Documentation

propertyNames()

+ (NSSet*) propertyNames

Returns the names of all properties defined in this class and superclasses up to CBLDynamicObject.

getValueOfProperty:()

- (id) getValueOfProperty:

(NSString *)

property

Returns the value of a named property.

This method will only be called for properties that have been declared in the class's @interface using @property. You must override this method – the base implementation just raises an exception.

Implemented in CBLModel.

setValue:ofProperty:()

- (BOOL) setValue:		(id)	value
ofProperty:		(NSString *)	property

Sets the value of a named property.

This method will only be called for properties that have been declared in the class's @interface using @property, and are not declared readonly. You must override this method – the base implementation just raises an exception.

Returns

YES if the property was set, NO if it isn't settable; an exception will be raised. Default implementation returns NO.

classOfProperty:()

+ (Class) classOfProperty:

(NSString *)

propertyName

Given the name of an object-valued property, returns the class of the property's value.

Returns nil if the property doesn't exist, or if its type isn't an object pointer or is 'id'.
