Method Detail

takeValuesFromDictionary

public static void takeValuesFromDictionary(Object object,
                                            NSDictionary dictionary)

If object implements EOKeyValueCodingAdditions, this method invokes takeValuesFromDictionary on object. Otherwise it invokes EOKeyValueCodingAdditions.DefaultImplementation's takeValuesFromDictionary method with object as the object on which to operate.

Parameters:

object - the object on which to operate

dictionary - the key-value pairs to be set

EOKeyValueCodingAdditions.takeValuesFromDictionary(NSDictionary), EOKeyValueCodingAdditions.DefaultImplementation

takeValuesFromDictionaryWithMapping

public static void takeValuesFromDictionaryWithMapping(Object object,
                                                       NSDictionary dictionary,
                                                       NSDictionary mapping)

If object implements EOKeyValueCodingAdditions, this method invokes takeValuesFromDictionaryWithMapping on object. Otherwise it invokes EOKeyValueCodingAdditions.DefaultImplementation's takeValuesFromDictionaryWithMapping method with object as the object on which to operate.

Parameters:

object - the object on which to operate

dictionary - the key-value pairs to be set

mapping - the dictionary that maps arbitrary external names to internal property names

EOKeyValueCodingAdditions.takeValuesFromDictionary(NSDictionary), EOKeyValueCodingAdditions.DefaultImplementation

valuesForKeys

public static NSDictionary valuesForKeys(Object object,
                                         NSArray keys)

If object implements EOKeyValueCodingAdditions, this method invokes valuesForKeys on object. Otherwise it invokes EOKeyValueCodingAdditions.DefaultImplementation's valuesForKeys method with object as the object on which to operate.

Parameters:

object - the object on which to operate

keys - the array of keys whose values are to be retrieved

Returns:

the result of either object.valuesForKeys(keys) or EOKeyValueCodingAdditions.DefaultImplementation.valuesForKeys(object, keys)

See Also:

EOKeyValueCodingAdditions.valuesForKeys(NSArray), EOKeyValueCodingAdditions.DefaultImplementation

valuesForKeysWithMapping

public static NSDictionary valuesForKeysWithMapping(Object object,
                                                    NSDictionary mapping)

If object implements EOKeyValueCodingAdditions, this method invokes valuesForKeysWithMapping on object. Otherwise it invokes EOKeyValueCodingAdditions.DefaultImplementation's valuesForKeysWithMapping method with object as the object on which to operate.

Parameters:

object - the object on which to operate

mapping - the dictionary that maps arbitrary external names to internal property names

Returns:

the result of either object.valuesForKeysWithMapping(mapping) or EOKeyValueCodingAdditions.DefaultImplementation.valuesForKeysWithMapping(object, mapping)
