BaseKit is a set of IOS class to make your life easier.

Attention

CellMapping and FormMapping will be removed from BaseKit, because it's too big to maintain. CellMapping is now called TableKit.m and FormMapping is called FormKit.m.

I'm sorry for that but it will not be hard to update your project.

Installation

You have two way to do that

• Copying files.
• Install using CocoaPods.

Copying files

Add Code dir or pick library that you need inside Code/*.

Install using CocoaPods.

dependency 'BaseKit/Core', '~> 0.2.5'
dependency 'BaseKit/View', '~> 0.2.5'
dependency 'BaseKit/CellMapping', '~> 0.2.5'
dependency 'BaseKit/LocationManager', '~> 0.2.5'
dependency 'BaseKit/FormField', '~> 0.2.5'
dependency 'BaseKit/FormMapping', '~> 0.2.5'

UITableView Dynamic cell mapping like Restkit

Core

Perform operation in background.

[BKOperationHelper performBlockInBackground:^{
    // Do your operation in background
} completion:^{
    // Update UI in main queue
}];

Iteration.

[BKIteratingHelper iterateTil:4 usingBlock:^(int number) {
    NSLog(@"%d", number);
}];

View

Present modal view controller with block.

[self presentModalViewControllerWithBlock:^UIViewController *{
 	return [[AnyViewController alloc] init];
} animated:YES];

Push view controller with block.

[self.navigationController pushViewControllerWithBlock:^UIViewController *{
    return [[AnyViewController alloc] init];
} animated:YES];

Cell mapping

Create table view with blocks based syntax.

self.tableModel = [BKTableModel tableModelForTableView:self.tableView];
self.tableView.dataSource = self.tableModel;
self.tableView.delegate = self.tableModel;

[BKCellMapping mappingForObjectClass:[Item class] block:^(BKCellMapping *cellMapping) {
    [cellMapping mapKeyPath:@"title" toAttribute:@"textLabel.text"];

    [cellMapping onSelectRowWithBlock:^(UITableViewCell *cell, Item *item, NSIndexPath *indexPath) {
           // Do something
    }];

    [cellMapping mapObjectToCellClass:[UITableViewCell class]];
    [self.tableModel registerMapping:cellMapping];
}];

NSArray *items = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                  	[Item itemWithTitle:@"Simple mapping"],
                  	[Item itemWithTitle:@"Nib cell example"],
                    nil];

[self.tableModel loadTableItems:items];

For more example open Examples/CellMappingExample/CellMappingExample.xcodeproj project.

Form mapping

FormMapping is a library for building form with table view. Fields data are automatically filled from a model. When data changed it's automatically savec inside the object.

BaseKit use an external library called ActionSheetPicker but unfortunately that library doesn't support ARC yet, so you need to add "-fno-objc-arc" when you import it to your project.

self.formModel = [BKFormModel formTableModelForTableView:self.tableView navigationController:self.navigationController];

[BKFormMapping mappingForClass:[Movie class] block:^(BKFormMapping *formMapping) {
    [formMapping sectiontTitle:@"Information section" identifier:@"info"];
    [formMapping mapAttribute:@"title" title:@"Title" type:BKFormAttributeMappingTypeText];
    [formMapping mapAttribute:@"releaseDate" title:@"ReleaseDate" type:BKFormAttributeMappingTypeDatePicker];
    [formMapping mapAttribute:@"suitAllAges" title:@"All ages" type:BKFormAttributeMappingTypeBoolean];
    [formMapping mapAttribute:@"shortName" title:@"ShortName" type:BKFormAttributeMappingTypeLabel];
    [formMapping mapAttribute:@"numberOfActor" title:@"Number of actor" type:BKFormAttributeMappingTypeInteger];
    [formMapping mapAttribute:@"content" title:@"Content" type:BKFormAttributeMappingTypeBigText];
    
    [formMapping mapAttribute:@"choice" title:@"Choices" selectValuesBlock:^NSArray *(id value, id object, NSInteger *selectedValueIndex){
        *selectedValueIndex = 1;
        return [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"choice1", @"choice2", nil];
    } valueWithBlock:^id(id value, id object, NSInteger selectedValueIndex) {
        return value;
    }];
    
    [formMapping buttonSave:@"Save" handler:^{
    }];
    
    [self.formModel registerMapping:formMapping];
}];

[self.formModel loadFieldsWithObject:movie];

For more example open Examples/FormMappingExample/FormMappingExample.xcodeproj project.

LocationManager

Easy to use CoreLocation manager with block or default delegate.

BKLocationManager *manager = [BKLocationManager sharedManager];

[manager setDidUpdateLocationBlock:^(CLLocationManager *manager, CLLocation *newLocation, CLLocation *oldLocation) {
    NSLog(@"didUpdateLocation");
}];

[manager setDidFailBlock:^(CLLocationManager *manager, NSError *error) {
    NSLog(@"didFailUpdateLocation");
}];

[manager startUpdatingLocationWithAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyHundredMeters];

ARC Support

BaseKit is fully compatible out of box with both ARC and non-ARC project.
