OCSimpleInjector

OCSimpleInjector is a service container and depency injector focused on be really simply to integrate with your code.

How it works

• Add NSObject+DependecyInjector category to your project.
• Create a Services.plist file with all files you want to be available.
• Add some services to Services.plist file.

When you get a new service, OCSimpleInjector searchs a list of parameters to initialice inside the Services.plist file and instantiates the service using this values.

All service keys must end with 'Service' subfix.

Services.plist format

Services (Dictionary)
|- ExampleService (Dictionary)
|   |- [Add all properties of ExampleService class you want to initialice]
|
|- OtherService (Dictionary)
    |- propertyName (string): fooString
    |- otherPropertyName (int): 5

Requirements

Your services must be Key-Value Coding compliant. See: (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/KeyValueCoding/Articles/KeyValueCoding.html)

Usage

##Create a new service, for example: BarDummy

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

/**
BarDummy

Creates a dummy class which loads a string value from Services.plist
*/
@interface BarDummy : NSObject {
@private
    NSString *_stringValue;
} 

/**
NSString value setted from Services.plist object
*/
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *stringValue;

@end

@implementation BarDummy

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Properties

@synthesize stringValue = _stringValue;

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Memory management

- (void)dealloc
{
    self.stringValue = nil
    
    [super deallo];
}

@end

Configure your BarDummy service properties in Service.plist file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Services</key>
    <dict>
        <key>BarDummyService</key>
        <dict>
            <key>stringValue</key>
            <string>My property is setted!</string>
        </dict>
    </dict>
</dict>
</plist>

Use the service BarDummy at any point of your code

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "BarDummy.h"

@interface FooClass : NSObject {
    BarDummy *_myService;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) BarDummy *myService;

@end

@implementation FooClass

@synthesize myService = _myService;

- (id)init {
    self = [super init];
    if (self) {
        self.myService = [self get:@"BarDummy"];
        
        // Should print "My property is setted!"
        NSLog(@"BarDummy.stringValue: %@", self.myService.stringValue);
    }
    
    return self;
}

@end
