基本上,NSDictionary<FBGraphUser> *user
, 意味着一个继承自 的对象,添加协议NSDictionary
声明的功能(特别是类型化访问) 。FBGraphUser
这种方法背后的原因在FBGraphObject 文档中有相当详细的描述(FBGraphUser
协议扩展了FBGraphObject
协议)。可能会让您感到困惑的是,它FBGraphObject
是一个协议(在此处描述)和一个类(在此处描述),它继承自NSMutableDictionary
.
在内部实现方面,它是一些相当高级的 Objective-C 动态魔法,你可能不想担心。您需要知道的是,如果您愿意,可以将对象视为字典,或使用协议中的其他方法。如果你真的想知道细节,你可以查看FBGraphObject 的源代码,特别是这些方法:
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark NSObject overrides
// make the respondsToSelector method do the right thing for the selectors we handle
- (BOOL)respondsToSelector:(SEL)sel
{
return [super respondsToSelector:sel] ||
([FBGraphObject inferredImplTypeForSelector:sel] != SelectorInferredImplTypeNone);
}
- (BOOL)conformsToProtocol:(Protocol *)protocol {
return [super conformsToProtocol:protocol] ||
([FBGraphObject isProtocolImplementationInferable:protocol
checkFBGraphObjectAdoption:YES]);
}
// returns the signature for the method that we will actually invoke
- (NSMethodSignature *)methodSignatureForSelector:(SEL)sel {
SEL alternateSelector = sel;
// if we should forward, to where?
switch ([FBGraphObject inferredImplTypeForSelector:sel]) {
case SelectorInferredImplTypeGet:
alternateSelector = @selector(objectForKey:);
break;
case SelectorInferredImplTypeSet:
alternateSelector = @selector(setObject:forKey:);
break;
case SelectorInferredImplTypeNone:
default:
break;
}
return [super methodSignatureForSelector:alternateSelector];
}
// forwards otherwise missing selectors that match the FBGraphObject convention
- (void)forwardInvocation:(NSInvocation *)invocation {
// if we should forward, to where?
switch ([FBGraphObject inferredImplTypeForSelector:[invocation selector]]) {
case SelectorInferredImplTypeGet: {
// property getter impl uses the selector name as an argument...
NSString *propertyName = NSStringFromSelector([invocation selector]);
[invocation setArgument:&propertyName atIndex:2];
//... to the replacement method objectForKey:
invocation.selector = @selector(objectForKey:);
[invocation invokeWithTarget:self];
break;
}
case SelectorInferredImplTypeSet: {
// property setter impl uses the selector name as an argument...
NSMutableString *propertyName = [NSMutableString stringWithString:NSStringFromSelector([invocation selector])];
// remove 'set' and trailing ':', and lowercase the new first character
[propertyName deleteCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(0, 3)]; // "set"
[propertyName deleteCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(propertyName.length - 1, 1)]; // ":"
NSString *firstChar = [[propertyName substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(0,1)] lowercaseString];
[propertyName replaceCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(0, 1) withString:firstChar];
// the object argument is already in the right place (2), but we need to set the key argument
[invocation setArgument:&propertyName atIndex:3];
// and replace the missing method with setObject:forKey:
invocation.selector = @selector(setObject:forKey:);
[invocation invokeWithTarget:self];
break;
}
case SelectorInferredImplTypeNone:
default:
[super forwardInvocation:invocation];
return;
}
