iOS categories category and extension extension

This article is mainly about iOS category and extension (Extension, anonymous category), please visit the website of Crazy software education. Category is used very frequently in iOS development. Especially in the expansion of the system class, we can not inherit the system class, directly to the system class to add methods, the maximum extent of the objective-c dynamic language characteristics.

#import

@interface NSObject (Category)

-(void) MyMethod;

@end

This is the simplest category to use for the NSObject class and adds a method to NSObject.

Points to note in using Category:

(1) The method of category does not have to be implemented in @implementation, but it can be implemented in other locations, but when the method of category is called, the implementation of the method is not found according to the inheritance tree, and the program crashes.

(2) Category theory cannot add variables, but @dynamic can be used to compensate for this deficiency.

#import

static Const voidvoid * Externvariablekey =&externvariablekey;

@implementation NSObject (Category)

@dynamic variable;

-(ID) variable

{

Return Objc_getassociatedobject (self, externvariablekey);

}

-(void) SetVariable: (ID) variable

{

Objc_setassociatedobject (self, externvariablekey, variable,

Objc_association_retain_nonatomic);

}

Extension is very much like an unnamed category, that is, an anonymous category

@interface Myclass:nsobject

@property (retain, readonly) float value;

@end

In general, extension are placed above the @implementation in the. m file.

@interface MyClass ()

@property (retain, readwrite) float value;

@end

Points to note when using extension:

(1) The method in extension must be implemented in the @implementation, otherwise the compilation will error.

Category and extension are a little different.

The category function adds a method to a class that does not have source code, in the format: Define a pair of. h and. m

Extension all methods of the management class, format: Write the code into the. m file of the original class
