DelegateProxy

DelegateProxy is a powerful library for iOS and macOS that allows you to easily create proxy objects for delegating tasks. It simplifies the delegate pattern and provides a flexible way to handle events and callbacks in your application.

Installation

  1. Open your terminal and navigate to the project directory.
  2. Run the following command to install DelegateProxy using Cocoapods:

pod 'DelegateProxy'

Usage

Step 1: Create a Delegate Object

In order to use DelegateProxy, you need to first create a delegate object conforming to the desired protocol. Let’s say you want to delegate tasks to an object of class TaskDelegate:


class TaskDelegate: NSObject, ExampleDelegate {
// Implement the required delegate methods here
}

Step 2: Create a Delegate Proxy

Next, create a delegate proxy object which will act as an intermediary between your object and the delegate. It also helps to avoid strong retain cycles:


let delegateProxy = ExampleDelegateProxy(parentObject: yourObject, delegate: taskDelegate)

Step 3: Assign the Delegate Proxy

Finally, assign the delegate proxy to your object:


yourObject.delegate = delegateProxy

Step 4: Handle Delegate Methods

You can handle the delegate methods in your object by implementing the methods from the protocol in an extension:


extension YourObject: ExampleDelegate {
func didSomething() {
// Handle the delegate method
}

// Add more delegate methods here if needed
}

Features

  • Simplified Delegate Pattern: DelegateProxy simplifies the delegate pattern by providing a clean way to separate delegate functionality from the main object.
