module and service management of ios app

module

what is module? every business or task could be module.

when the module init? when app launch or after app launch

how to impl?

first, create class:

#import <AppLord/AppLord.h>
@interface MyModule : NSObject <ALModule>
@end

then, impl like this:

@implementation MyModule
// regist the module, required
AL_EXPORT_MODULE

// module object init
- (void)moduleDidInit:(ALContext *)context
{
    // do some init thing
}

@end

service

we can receive events from other modules in a module, but it does not always meet the demand. we can't notify back to the sender. so we provide another way to transfer event between modules: service.

How to use?

Define your custom service

@protocol MyService <ALService>

- (void)doSomething;

@end

Impl it

@interface MyServiceImpl : NSObject <MyService>

@end

@implementation MyServiceImpl

// regist service
AL_EXPORT_SERVICE(MyService);

- (void)doSomething
{

}

// optional
+ (BOOL)globalVisible
{
    // if return YES, service will be always in the memory
}

@end

How to get the instance of service?

id<MyService> service = [[ALContext sharedContext] findServiceByName:@"MyService"];
// or
id<MyService> service = [[ALContext sharedContext] findService:@protocol(MyService)];
