This is Part 1 of on ongoing series.
Two things were irritating me.
The first, I was having a difficult time getting back into reading Obcetive C method syntax after spending all day slinging PHP and Javascript.
The second was that most of that Javascript I was slinging was using the Prototype Javascript Framework. Prototype’s a fine project, but I’ve never liked its “Hey, Javascript can be like Java” Class abstraction or its “HTML Sucks” Element object.
So, I decided to shake the rust off my jQuery and write a little widget/plugin that would highlight the various parts of an Objective C method signature. Copy/Paste the fake method signature, or any real method signature, into the text box and click away.
-(void) this:(int)param is:(NSString)param2 an:(NSObject)param3 example:(NSArray)param4
//fake method to past in the box below...
If you don’t see the forms above, you’ll need to turn javascript on (more on this later). Javascript and CSS source available.
