Detailed Description

JSON data binding for Views.

Definition in file View+JSON.h.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ BindInlet

#define BindInlet	(	inlet,
		obj
	)	(inletBindings[(inlet)->type])(inlet, (ident) obj)

Binds the Inlet to obj by invoking the appropriate InletBinding function.

Definition at line 244 of file View+JSON.h.

◆ MakeInlet

#define MakeInlet	(	name,
		type,
		dest,
		data
	)	(Inlet) { (name), (type), (dest), (ident) (data) }

Creates an Inlet with the specified parameters.

Definition at line 216 of file View+JSON.h.

◆ MakeInlets

#define MakeInlets ( ... )

Value:

  { \
    __VA_ARGS__, \
    MakeInlet(NULL, InitTypeEnd, NULL, NULL) \
  }

Creates a null-termianted array of Inlets.

  { \
    __VA_ARGS__, \
    MakeInlet(NULL, InitTypeEnd, NULL, NULL) \
  }

◆ MakeOutlet

#define MakeOutlet	(	identifier,
		view
	)	(Outlet) { (identifier), (View **) (view) }

Creates an Outlet with the specified parameters.

Definition at line 230 of file View+JSON.h.

◆ MakeOutlets

#define MakeOutlets ( ... )

Value:

  { \
    __VA_ARGS__, \
    MakeOutlet(NULL, NULL) \
  }

Creates a NULL-termianted array of Outlets.

  { \
    __VA_ARGS__, \
    MakeOutlet(NULL, NULL) \
  }

Typedef Documentation

◆ InletBinding

typedef void(* InletBinding) (const Inlet *inlet, ident obj)

A function pointer for Inlet binding.

Parameters

inlet	The Inlet.
obj	The Object resolved from the JSON Dictionary.

Remarks: For Inlets of type InletTypeApplicationDefined, applications must provide a pointer to a function of this prototype as their Inlet's data. ObjectivelyMVC will invoke the function to resolve the JSON data binding.

Definition at line 186 of file View+JSON.h.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ InletType

enum InletType

Inlet type constants.

Enumerator
InitTypeEnd	Remarks Special end-of-list value for an inlet list
InletTypeBool	Remarks Inlet destination must be of type `Bool *`.
InletTypeCharacters	Remarks Inlet destination must be of type `char **`. The inbound C string is copied via `strdup`, and thus the receiver should `free` it when it is no longer needed.
InletTypeClassNames	Remarks Inlet destination must be of type `View **`.
InletTypeColor	Remarks Inlet destination must be of type `SDL_Color *`.
InletTypeDouble	Remarks Inlet destination must be of type `double *`.
InletTypeEnum	Remarks Inlet destination must be of an `enum *` type. Inlet data must provide a null- terminated array of EnumNames. See also valueof MakeEnumNames
InletTypeFloat	Remarks Inlet destination must be of type `float *`.
InletTypeFont	Remarks Inlet destination must be of type `Font **`.
InletTypeImage	Remarks Inlet destination must be of type `Image **`.
InletTypeInteger	Remarks Inlet destination must be of type `int *`.
InletTypePoint	Remarks Inlet destination must be of type `SDL_Point *`.
InletTypeRectangle	Remarks Inlet destination must be of type `SDL_Rect *`.
InletTypeSize	Remarks Inlet destination must be of type `SDL_Size *`.
InletTypeStyle	Remarks Inlet destination must be of type `View **`. The Style of the specified View is populated with the attributes of the bound Dictionary.
InletTypeSubviews	Remarks Inlet destination must be of type `View **`. The subviews of the specified View are populated from the bound Array of View definitions.
InletTypeView	Remarks Inlet destination must be of type `View *`. By default, the destination View is awoken with the inbound View definition. There are two notable exceptions to this behavior: `"class"` - If the inbound View definition includes a `"class"` directive, a new View of the specified type is initialized, and the existing View is replaced and released. The type must be initialized in order for the class to be resolved. Use this behavior to substitute a specialized or custom View implementation. `"include"` - If the inbound View definition specifies an `"include"` directive, the specified JSON file will be recursively processed. The existing View is replaced with the resulting View, and subsequently released. See also _initialize(Clazz ) View::awakeWithDictionary(View , const Dictionary ) View::viewWithContentsOfFile(const char *path)
InletTypeApplicationDefined	Remarks Inlet destination is of an application-defined type. The Inlet data must provide an InletBinding function. That function is responsible for populating the Inlet destination.

Function Documentation

◆ bindInlets()

OBJECTIVELYMVC_EXPORT bool bindInlets	(	const Inlet *	inlets,
		const Dictionary *	dictionary
	)

Binds each Inlet specified in inlets to the data provided in dictionary.

Parameters

inlets	The Inlets to bind.
dictionary	The Dictionary from which to bind.

Returns: True if one or more Inlets were bound, false otherwise.

Definition at line 327 of file View+JSON.c.

                                                                   {
 
  assert(inlets);
  assert(dictionary);
 
  bool didBindInlets = false;
