This application is intended to be used as a macOS (OSX) sample application. It hopefully demonstrates a number of Cocoa good practices and techniques including
- Separation of concerns using MVC
- Window Handling
- Mouse Handling
- Menu Handling
- Keyboard Handling
- Basic Multi-Threading using GCD
- Protecting shared resources using Semaphores
The code is written using Swift 2.2.
Methods have been named using the newer swift style of not including the first parameter as part of the method name. To make code more readable when using this format I also force the first parameter to be a named parameter in functions.
func myFunction(internalNameOne internalNameOne: Int, externalNameTwo internalNameTwo: Int) {}
myFunction(internalNameOne: 1, externalNameTwo: 2)The application is currently incomplete. Things still to do.
- The application UI is very basic and could do with a lot of polish
- Other than the New, Edit and Save meni items the applications menu structure is pretty much as Xcode creates it. Each menu item needs to be reviewed and either hooked up or deleted.
- There is very little error handling in the application. There are a number of
//TODO:comments where errors need to be created and raised. - Edit Windows are not positioned correctly
- There are still one or two display glitches when you hover the mouse over a note.
- The app uses JSON files in the ~/Documents folder as its data. These are all currently loaded into memory when the application starts. The app needs to be updated to use Core Data as its data store.
- Although the code should hopefully be quite readable, it could really do with far more commenting to be good sample/tutorial code.
This code is still very Alpha but hopefully already contains enough substance to be a useful learning tool
