KissNSUserDefaults

Keep it simple, stupid!

Directly hard code to access keys of NSUserDefaults is very boring, and painful because NSUserDefaultsDidChangeNotification contains no user info.

if we can access keys via properties and listen to the specific NSUserDefaults key change, life must be more easier.

This is what KissNSUserDefaults project borns to be. What you need to do is to declare properties in header and @dynamic all in implementation. Run +kiss_setup or +kiss_setupWithCustomKeys: in +load will generate all accessors for you.

Usage

Add NSUserDefaults+KissNSUserDefaults.h and NSUserDefaults+KissNSUserDefaults.m to your project. Make your own NSUserDefaults category, import NSUserDefaults+KissNSUserDefaults.h and run +kiss_setup in your category's +load. If you need to transit old keys, or need to keep key and property in its own name, you can run +kiss_setupWithCustomKeys: with your own key-property pairs dictionary. And you can add an observer at somewhere for KissNSUserDefaultsDidChangeNotification which contains user info for key and value.

Check demo project for details.

NSUserDefaults+KissDemo.h

#import "NSUserDefaults+KissNSUserDefaults.h"

extern NSString * const kMyCustomKey;

@interface NSUserDefaults (KissDemo)

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *string;
@property (nonatomic) NSInteger integer;
@property (nonatomic) float floatValue;
@property (nonatomic) BOOL boolValue;
@property (nonatomic) double doubleValue;

@end

NSUserDefaults+KissDemo.m

#import "NSUserDefaults+KissDemo.h"

NSString * const kMyCustomKey = @"im.cxa.myCustomKey";

@implementation NSUserDefaults (KissDemo)
@dynamic string, integer, floatValue, boolValue, doubleValue;

+ (void)load
{
  // run [self kiss_setup] if you don't need custom keys
  [self kiss_setupWithCustomKeys:@{@"doubleValue" : kMyCustomKey}];
}

@end
