让Category支持添加属性与成员变量

Category是Objective-C中常用的语法特性,通过它可以很方便的为已有的类来添加函数。但是Category不允许为已有的类添加新的属性或者成员变量。    
一种常见的办法是通过runtime.h中objc_getAssociatedObject / objc_setAssociatedObject来访问和生成关联对象。通过这种方法来模拟生成属性。

//NSObject+IndieBandName.h
@interface NSObject (IndieBandName)
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *indieBandName;
@end

上面是头文件声明,下面的实现的.m文件:

// NSObject+IndieBandName.m    
#import "NSObject+Extension.h"
#import <objc/runtime.h>
static const void *IndieBandNameKey = &IndieBandNameKey;    
@implementation NSObject (IndieBandName)
@dynamic indieBandName;

- (NSString *)indieBandName {
    return objc_getAssociatedObject(self, IndieBandNameKey);
}

- (void)setIndieBandName:(NSString *)indieBandName{
    objc_setAssociatedObject(self, IndieBandNameKey, indieBandName, OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);
}

@end

 DLIntrospection

这个和Category无关,但是也是runtime.h的一种应用。DLIntrospection,是 一个NSObject Category。它为NSObject提供了一系列扩展函数:  

@interface NSObject (DLIntrospection)

+ (NSArray *)classes;
+ (NSArray *)properties;
+ (NSArray *)instanceVariables;
+ (NSArray *)classMethods;
+ (NSArray *)instanceMethods;

+ (NSArray *)protocols;
+ (NSDictionary *)descriptionForProtocol:(Protocol *)proto;


+ (NSString *)parentClassHierarchy;
@end

通过这些函数,你可以在调试时(通过po命令)或者运行时获得对象的各种信息。
