MotionGenerator

Generates Ruby (RubyMotion/MacRuby) class files from Objective-C header files

MotionGenerator will take a OBJC header that looks something like:

@interface MyViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITableView *tableView;
@property (nonatomic, reatain, readonly) NSString *foo;

+ (void)myClassMethod;
- (IBAction)someAction:(id)sender;
- (void)somePublicMethod:(CustomClass *)theClass arg2:(id)bar;
@end

and turns it into:

class MyViewController < UIViewController #<UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>
	attr_accessor :tableView
	attr_reader :foo

	def self.myClassMethod
	end

	def someAction(sender)
	end

	def somePublicMethod(theClass, arg2:bar)
	end

end

How to use:

• run it from the command line: motiongenerator /path/to/header.h /path/to/rubymotionapp/app
• require the MotionGenerator.rb in your project and go nuts.
• autogeneration is now possible. Run motiongenerator --autogenerate /path/to/header.h /path/to/rubymotionapp/app to have header files automatically converted into Ruby classes.

Gotchas:

• No support for header iVars (yet).
• protocols defined in the header are not supported (yet)
• could be (probably) bugs parsing the Objective-C method signatures
• autogeneration is a work in progress

Notes:

• MotionGenerator.rb uses some Objective-C method calls, so you will need to either run using MacRuby or with the version of ruby included in RubyMotion found in: /Library/RubyMotion/bin/
