#ConventionalC

Cocoapod and static library to provide defaults, configurability, and convenience methods for terse Objective-C.

• Rubyish categories approximate methods of Ruby objects.
• Conventions for initializers and other methods reduce obvious and nil arguments.
• Xib configuration is enabled for properties that usually require coding.
• Terse alternatives for common operations are provided.

##Installation The recommended approach for installing ConventionalC is via the CocoaPods package manager. It may also be installed as a subproject, preferably from a git submodule, and built as standard static library.

##Rubyish Categories Objective-C equivalents are provided for many ruby methods. Methods are based off of Ruby 2.0. Objective-C conventions are followed; For example, boolean returning methods start with verbs like 'is'. Methods with mutable versions like collect! are named with a noun like collected for the immutable version and with a verb like collect for the mutable. Where typing is important, multiple methods may be provided where only one is needed for Ruby.

Examples:

• Array.new(10, 'A') -> [NSArray newWithSize:10 object:@"A"]
• Array.new[a, b, c] -> [NSArray new:a, b, c, nil]
• array.empty? -> array.isEmpty
• array.map(...) -> [array mapped:...]
• array.map!(...) -> [mutableArray map:...]
• string.start_with('prefix') -> [string startsWith:@"prefix"]
• string.start_with('prefix1', 'prefix2') -> [string startsWithAny:@[@"prefix1", @"prefix2"]]
