Hi all,
frankly my question is not really cocoa related, it is more regarding
objective-c coding style, but still I'd like to hear the opinion of some
professionals.
In order to reuse code I find it often very handy to write little "getters"
which don't get their return value from an ivar but compute it somehow. I
believe this is called derived property since it derives its value from other
properties. My question is, what is the best style implementing such derived
properties. With dot-notation in mind, I think the options are:
1. Only write the "getter"-method, no property, no sythesize, DON'T use
dot-notation
2. Only write the "getter"-method, no property, no sythesize, DO use
dot-notation
3. Write "getter"-method, write property (readonly, to justify dot-notation),
sythesize
A basic question here is, for any method which might as well be a property and
of course doesn't have any parameters, is it ok to use dot-notation or
should'nt you do that.
Simple example:
- (BOOL)itemsSelected {
return [myTableView selectedRow] != -1;
}
Regards,
Chris
