Detailed Description

This is the base class for all component factories.

It defines methods for retrieving components from the factory, as well as a low-level API for assembling components from their constituent parts. This low-level API could be used as-is, however its intended to use a higher level abstraction such as TyphoonBlockComponentFactory.

Method Documentation

+ (id) defaultFactory

Returns the default component factory, if one has been set.

See also

[TyphoonComponentFactory - makeDefault (TyphoonComponentFactory-p)]. This allows resolving components from the Typhoon another class after the container has been set up.

A more desirable approach, if possible - especially for a component that is also registered with the container is to use TyphoonComponentFactoryAware, which injects the component factory as a dependency on the class that needs it. This latter approach simplifies unit testing, in that no special approach to patching out the classes collaborators is required.

TyphoonComponentFactoryAware

- (void) enumerateDefinitions:

(void(^)(TyphoonDefinition *definition, NSUInteger index, TyphoonDefinition **definitionToReplace, BOOL *stop))

block

+ (TyphoonComponentFactory *) factoryForResolvingFromXibs

Factory used to resolve definition from TyphoonLoadedView.

- (void) load

Mutate the component definitions and build the not-lazy singletons.

- (void) registerDefinition:

(TyphoonDefinition *)

definition

Registers a component into the factory.

Components can be declared in any order, the container will work out how to resolve them.

- (NSArray *) registry

+ (void) setFactoryForResolvingFromXibs:

(TyphoonComponentFactory *)

factory

- (void) unload

Dump all the singletons.
