Summary

The aim of the project provides base foundation functions for IOS developer to make developer build iOS app easier. I am trying hard to make it can be used for Objective-C and Swift projects.

How to use

In A-IOSHelper, all functions are having the A_prefix, so we can get advantage from IDE's hint.

For using this framework, you can compile it and add the compiled file, A_IOSHelper.framework, into your project at Project page -> General -> Target -> Embedded Binaries section. If your project is older then iOS 8.0, I recommend that copying whole source code to your project.


How to build

Please use build.sh file to build this project.

sh ./build.sh

OR

sudo sh ./build.sh

You might want to check the compiled file by

cd Product/A_IOSHelper.framework

lipo -info A_IOSHelper

It should show Architectures in the fat file: A_IOSHelper are: i386 x86_64 armv7 arm64 which means compiled success.


Brief Example

The Obecrive-C example:

#import <A_IOSHelper/A_IOSHelper.h> 

Get data from 2 web services concurrently, and when all of them completed, pop-up an alert view in main thread.

    [[[[A_TaskHelper A_Init:A_Task_RunInBackgroupCompleteInMain
                       Sequential:NO] A_AddTask:^(A_TaskHelper *task) {
        // Visit first service and store the result with the name "task1"
        [task A_Set:@"task1" Value:[A_RESTRequest A_GetArray:@"http://webservice_1"]];
    }] A_AddTask:^(A_TaskHelper *task) {
        // Visit second service and store the result with the name "task2"
        [task A_Set:@"task2" Value:[A_RESTRequest A_GetDictionary:@"http://webservice_2"]];
    }] A_ExecuteWithCompletion:^(A_TaskHelper *task) {
        // Merge two
        [UIAlertView A_DisplyAlert:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@",
                                    [task A_Get:@"task1"],
                                    [task A_Get:@"task2"]]
                          AndTitle:@"Result"
                      CancelButton:@"Okay"];
    }];

The Swfit example:

import A_IOSHelper 

Download image and cache it, and it can get same image next time from cache instead of download again.

A_ImageHelper.A_DownloadImageAndCache("http://yourwebservice/image.jpg")
