TWTToast

A repo for small utilities we use in Cocoa Development. Conveniently broken up into small subspecs for à la carte use.

Subspecs

Core Animation

pod 'TWTToast/CoreAnimation'

A subspec for Core Animation-level classes and categories.

Easing Functions

pod TWTToast/CoreAnimation/EasingFunctions

• CAMediaTimingFunction+TWTEasingFunctions provides factory methods for conveniently creating common easing timing functions.

Foundation

pod TWTToast/Foundation

A subspec for Foundation-level classes and categories.

Asynchronous Operation

pod TWTToast/Foundation/AsynchronousOperation

• TWTAsynchronousOperation provides an NSOperation subclass with support for asynchronous execution during an operation's lifespan.

Block Enumeration

pod TWTToast/Foundation/BlockEnumeration

• TWTBlockEnumeration exposes methods on NSArray, NSDictionary, NSEnumerator, NSOrderedSet, and NSSet for block based enumeration. These methods include functionality for Collect, Inject, Detect, Reject, Flatten, and Select.

Concurrent Accessor

pod TWTToast/Foundation/ConcurrentAccessor

• TWTConcurrentAccessor provides a mechanism for efficiently accessing an object across multiple threads. Internally, it uses Dispatch Barriers to allow multiple simultaneous readers and one writer, though this complexity is hidden behind a simple interface.

Date Range

pod TWTToast/Foundation/DateRange

• TWTDateRange models closed date ranges to easily determine if a date falls within a certain range.

ErrorUtilities

pod TWTToast/Foundation/ErrorUtilities

• TWTErrorUtilities defines utility functions for creating assertions and exception messages.

KVO

pod TWTToast/Foundation/KVO

• TWTKeyValueObserver exposes a method for encapsulating a KVO-based observation such that it can be more easily released.

NSArray Index Path Additions

pod TWTToast/Foundation/NSArrayIndexPathAdditions

• NSArray+TWTIndexPath provides methods for working with arrays (or hierarchically organized arrays) by index path.

SubclassResponsibility

pod TWTToast/Foundation/SubclassResponsibility

• NSException+TWTSubclassResponsibility provides a convenience factory method for creating exceptions when implementing a given method is a subclass's responsibility.

Tree Node

pod TWTToast/Foundation/TreeNode

• TWTTreeNode is a simple tree implementation with a node object and a flag for whether the node is expanded. Nodes can be looked up by index paths, which they compute themselves. We used this model to build a tree view with expadable groups.

UIKit

pod 'TWTToast/UIKit'

A subspec containing our humble extensions to UIKit.

AutoLayout

pod 'TWTToast/UIKit/AutoLayout'

• UIView+TWTConvenientConstraintAddition provides methods for adding constraints for several visual format strings with a single message send.

Blocks

pod 'TWTToast/UIKit/Blocks'

• UIActionSheet+TWTBlocks establishes a block-based means of handling UIActionSheets.
• UIAlertView+TWTBlocks does the same for UIAlertView, enabling easy block-based handling of UIAlertView input.

Color

pod 'TWTToast/UIKit/Color'

• UIColor+TWTColorHelpers is a collection of convenience methods for creating UIColors, e.g. from hexadecimal values.

Device

pod 'TWTToast/UIKit/Device'

• UIDevice+TWTSystemVersion provides convenient methods of retrieving and comparing iOS version information in a more performant way, using NSIntegers rather than string comparison.

Nib-backed View

pod 'TWTToast/UIKit/NibBackedView'

• TWTNibBackedView is an abstract class that makes it easy to create a view that is primarily laid out and configured using a nib. It is built to work correctly whether the view is instantiated in code or in a nib.

Prepare For Segue

pod 'TWTToast/UIKit/PrepareForSegue'

• UIViewController+TWTPrepareForSegue adds -twt_prepareFor«Identifier»Segue:sender: to view controllers, where «Identifier» is the capitalized form of the segue’s identifier.

Snapshot Image

pod 'TWTToast/UIKit/SnapshotImage'

• UIView+TWTSnapshotImage provides a convenient method for getting a snapshot image of a view’s hierarchy.

Text Style

pod 'TWTToast/UIKit/TextStyle'

• TWTTextStyle is a convenient way to package fonts and colors together as a style and apply them to different views. Keep a set of them as singletons or make class factory methods.

View Controller Completion

pod 'TWTToast/UIKit/ViewControllerCompletion'

• UIViewController+TWTCompletion adds a completion block and corresponding finish and cancel methods to view controllers, to provide an easy way for a presented view controller to signal to the presenting view controller when it is done.

View Controller Transitions

pod 'TWTToast/UIKit/ViewControllerTransitions'

• TWTNavigationControllerDelegate conforms to the UINavigationControllerDelegate protocol and adds properties to UIViewController for specifying push and pop animation controllers.
• TWTSimpleAnimationController conforms to the UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning protocol and wraps +[UIView transitionFromView:toView:duration:options:completion:] to facilitate using built-in transitions provided by UIKit.

Mantle

pod 'TWTToast/Mantle'

A subspec containing various Mantle extensions used by Two Toasters.

Mantle Model

pod 'TWTToast/Mantle/MantleModel'

• TWTMantleModel contains basic extensions to MTLModel. For now, it simply adds the ability to exclude property keys from archiving, description, and equality checking.

Model Class Deserialization

pod 'TWTToast/Mantle/ModelClassDeserialization'

• TWTModelClassDeserialization unifies deserialization of JSON objects into Mantle model objects.

Selective JSON Adapter

pod 'TWTToast/Mantle/SelectiveJSONAdapter'

• TWTSelectiveJSONAdapter extends MTLJSONAdapter to serialize only a subset of a model object’s property keys.

Owners

@jnjosh, @prachigauriar, @macdrevx, and @dfowj currently act as the owners of Toast. Mention us in issues or pull requests for questions about features, project direction, or to request code review.

Typically, a pull request should receive a code review and a 👍 from at least 2 project owners before being merged. In cases where a pull request review needs to be expedited a single 👍 from an owner will suffice, though this should be the exception, not the rule.
