FFUserDefaults

Ever worked with NSUserDefaults and tired of handling all the keys? Ever wanted to observe changes without listening to NSUserDefaultsDidChangeNotification and manually trying to figure out what has changed? Then FFUserDefaults is the perfect library for you!

Just create a subclass of FFUserDefaults and define the properties you need. Then implement them as @dynamic and FFUserDefaults will do the rest.

How does it work?

FFUserDefaults retrieves all @dynamic properties at runtime. It then creates accessors for these properties. The values are just stored in the NSUserDefaults. If you need NSUserDefaults other than standardUserDefaults you can just override the getter method - (NSUserDefaults *)userDefaults; in your subclass and return whatever NSUserDefaults you would like FFUserDefaults to use.

What kind of properties can I use?

You can of course use any object property. Further the following primitive data types are supported:

• BOOL
• double
• float
• char
• unsigned char
• short
• unsigned short
• int
• unsigned int
• long
• unsigned long
• long long
• unsigned long long
• NSInteger
• NSUInteger

Example

An example class would look like this. FFExampleSettings.h:

#import <FFUserDefaults/FFUserDefaults.h>

@interface FFExampleSettings : FFUserDefaults

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *username;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSDate *reminderDate;
@property (nonatomic, getter = isReminderEnabled) BOOL reminderEnabled;

@end

FFExampleSettings.m:

#import "FFExampleSettings.h"

@implementation FFExampleSettings

@dynamic username;
@dynamic reminderDate;
@dynamic reminderEnabled;

@end

There's also a sample project.
