/* The StrongBox class adds a new property to the Bucket and it is |
also a container for a list of buckets. |
Two points of interest in this class are the weight and value |
accessor methods that we use to implement the weight and value |
AppleScript properties. These accessors implement read only |
properties and they return a calculated result reflecting the sum |
total of the weights of all of the items contained in the strong box. |
We take care of most of the 'infrastructure' type operations |
needed for scripting in the Element class (the superclass of the |
Trinket class), so all we have to worry about here is storage management |
and providing accessors for the properties.*/ |
@interface StrongBox : Bucket { |
NSString *label; |
NSMutableArray *theBuckets; |
} |
/* storage management */ |
- (id)init; |
- (void)dealloc; |
/* kvc Cocoa property for the 'weight' AppleScript property. Note that here we |
are providing a specialization of the weight method provided by the Bucket |
class. We do this because when calculating the weight of all of the objects |
in the strong box, we want to include the total weight of all of the buckets |
it contains, so we perform that extra calculation in this specialization. |
Also note, 'weight' is a declared as a read only property in our scripting |
definition file so we have only declared a readonly Cocoa property. */ |
@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSNumber *weight; |
/* kvc Cocoa property for the 'value' AppleScript property. Here we are also |
providing a specialization of the weight method provided by the Bucket class |
for exactly the same reasons: to factor in the value of all of the buckets |
contained in the strong box. And, as with the 'weight' property, 'value' is |
a declared as a read only property in our scripting definition file so |
we have have only declared a readonly Cocoa property. */ |
@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSNumber *value; |
/* kvc Cocoa property for the 'label' AppleScript property */ |
@property (copy) NSString *label; |
/* kvc methods for the 'buckets' AppleScript element. Here we implement the methods |
necessary for maintaining the list of buckets inside of a StrongBox. Note the names. |
I our scripting definition file we specified that the 'strong box' class contains an |
element of type 'bucket', like so: |
<element type="bucket"/> |
Cocoa will use the plural form of the class name when naming the property used by |
AppleScript to access the list of buckets, and we should use the property name |
when naming our methods. So, using the property name, we name our methods as follows: |
- (NSArray*) buckets; (implied by property declaration) |
-(void) insertInBuckets:(id) bucket; |
-(void) insertInBuckets:(id) bucket atIndex:(unsigned)index; |
-(void) removeFromBucketsAtIndex:(unsigned)index; |
*/ |
/* return the entire list of buckets */ |
@property (readonly) NSArray *buckets; |
/* insert a bucket at the beginning of the list */ |
-(void) insertInBuckets:(id) bucket; |
/* insert a bucket at some position in the list */ |
-(void) insertInBuckets:(id) bucket atIndex:(unsigned)index; |
/* remove a bucket from the list */ |
-(void) removeFromBucketsAtIndex:(unsigned)index; |
/* |
Note that if we had wanted to use a different name in our Objective-C code as our |
property accessor, say, 'bucketsInStrongBox', then we would have specified that |
in our scripting definition file with an element declaration such as: |
<element type="bucket"> |
<cocoa key="bucketsInStrongBox"/> |
</element> |
and then we would have named our methods for maintaining the list of buckets like so: |
- (NSArray*) bucketsInStrongBox; |
-(void) insertInBucketsInStrongBox:(id) bucket; |
-(void) insertInBucketsInStrongBox:(id) bucket atIndex:(unsigned)index; |
-(void) removeFromBucketsInStrongBoxAtIndex:(unsigned)index; |
*/ |
