LaneKit

Gem Version

LaneKit is an iOS Objective-C code generator for integration with RestKit. It generates models, resource providers, table views, and full iOS apps with mimimal effort. There is support for unit testing with XCTest including fixtures and tests. LaneKit is a command line app written in Ruby and packaged as a Ruby Gem.

Benefits

  • properly implemented models, resource providers, and table views
  • easy integration with RestKit
  • consistent Objective-C code
  • unit tests with XCTest
  • test fixtures in JSON and Objective-C
  • iOS app creation fully integrated with CocoaPods and RestKit, and .gitignore file
  • tested code
  • rapid development
  • enhanced productivity of junior developers
  • reduces dependency on senior developers

How To Get Started

  1. Install the LaneKit Ruby Gem from RubyGems.org on the command line:

     $ gem install lanekit
 Successfully installed lanekit-0.9.0
 $ lanekit -v
 LaneKit 0.9.0

  2. LaneKit is ready to use.

Example Usage

Add a new model called Video to an existing Xcode project:

$ lanekit generate model Video headline:string duration:string id:integer image:string itemDate:date location:string

  create  SportsFrames/SportsFrames/Models
  create  SportsFrames/SportsFramesTests/Fixtures
  create  SportsFrames/SportsFramesTests/Models
  create  SportsFrames/SportsFramesTests/Resources
  create  SportsFrames/SportsFrames/Models/Video.h
  create  SportsFrames/SportsFrames/Models/Video.m
  create  SportsFrames/SportsFramesTests/Fixtures/VideoFixtures.h
  create  SportsFrames/SportsFramesTests/Fixtures/VideoFixtures.m
  create  SportsFrames/SportsFramesTests/Resources/VideoFixtures.one.json
  create  SportsFrames/SportsFramesTests/Resources/VideoFixtures.two.json
  create  SportsFrames/SportsFramesTests/Models/VideoTest.h
  create  SportsFrames/SportsFramesTests/Models/VideoTest.m
  create  SportsFrames/SportsFrames/Models/LKModel.h
  create  SportsFrames/SportsFrames/Models/LKModel.m

and here is the Objective-C header file that was generated by LaneKit:

//
//  Video.h
//
//  LaneKit is available under the MIT license. See the LICENSE file for more info.
//
//  This model was created on 2014-01-11 by LaneKit v0.4.4.
//
// The following LaneKit command was used to generate this file:
// lanekit generate model Video headline:string duration:string id:integer image:string itemDate:date location:string
//

#import "LKModel.h"

@interface Video : LKModel

@property (nonatomic,strong) NSString *headline;
@property (nonatomic,strong) NSString *duration;
@property (nonatomic,strong) NSNumber *id;
@property (nonatomic,strong) NSString *image;
@property (nonatomic,strong) NSDate *itemDate;
@property (nonatomic,strong) NSString *location;

@end

and here is the Objective-C .m file that was generated by LaneKit:

//  LaneKit is available under the MIT license. See the LICENSE file for more info.
//
//  This model was created on 2014-01-11 by LaneKit v0.4.4.

    };
}

// Dictionary to convert JSON/XML to self. For XML mappings, add .text to the end of the key path like this: "title.text".

             @"location": @"location"
    };
}

+ (NSString *)keyPath
{
  return @"video";
}

- (NSString *)descriptionForDisplay
{
  return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", self.headline];
}

@end

and here is the unit test fixtures file that was generated by LaneKit:

//
//  VideoFixtures.m
//
//  LaneKit is available under the MIT license. See the LICENSE file for more info.
//
//  This model fixture was created on 2014-01-11 by LaneKit v0.4.4.
//
// The following LaneKit command was used to generate this file:
// lanekit generate model Video headline:string duration:string id:integer image:string itemDate:date location:string
//

#import "VideoFixtures.h"

@implementation VideoFixtures

+ (Video *)one
{
  Video *video = Video.new;

  video.headline = @"MyString";
  video.duration = @"MyString";
  video.id = [NSNumber numberWithInteger:1];
  video.image = @"MyString";
  video.itemDate = NSDate.new;
  video.location = @"MyString";

  return video;
}

+ (Video *)two
{
  Video *video = Video.new;

  video.headline = @"MyString";
  video.duration = @"MyString";
  video.id = [NSNumber numberWithInteger:1];
  video.image = @"MyString";
  video.itemDate = NSDate.new;
  video.location = @"MyString";

  return video;
}

@end

and here is a RestKit compatible JSON fixture file that was generated by LaneKit:

{
  "video": {
    "headline": "MyString",
    "duration": "MyString",
    "id": "1",
    "image": "MyString",
    "itemDate": "03/01/2012",
    "location": "MyString"
  }
}

and here is part of a unit test that was generated in Models/VideoTest.m by LaneKit:

- (void)testVideoNewOne
{
  Video *video = VideoFixtures.one;
  XCTAssertNotNil(video, @"video is nil");

  XCTAssertTrue([video.headline isEqualToString:@"MyString"], @"headline not correct value");
  XCTAssertTrue([video.duration isEqualToString:@"MyString"], @"duration not correct value");
  XCTAssertTrue(video.id.integerValue == [NSNumber numberWithInteger:1].integerValue, @"id not [NSNumber numberWithInteger:1]");
  XCTAssertTrue([video.image isEqualToString:@"MyString"], @"image not correct value");
  XCTAssertNotNil(video.itemDate, @"itemDate is nil");
  XCTAssertTrue([video.location isEqualToString:@"MyString"], @"location not correct value");
}

- (void)testVideoNewTwo
{
  Video *video = VideoFixtures.two;
  XCTAssertNotNil(video, @"video is nil");

  XCTAssertTrue([video.headline isEqualToString:@"MyString"], @"headline not correct value");
  XCTAssertTrue([video.duration isEqualToString:@"MyString"], @"duration not correct value");
  XCTAssertTrue(video.id.integerValue == [NSNumber numberWithInteger:1].integerValue, @"id not [NSNumber numberWithInteger:1]");
  XCTAssertTrue([video.image isEqualToString:@"MyString"], @"image not correct value");
  XCTAssertNotNil(video.itemDate, @"itemDate is nil");
  XCTAssertTrue([video.location isEqualToString:@"MyString"], @"location not correct value");
}

- (void)testMapping
{
  RKObjectMapping *requestMapping = [Video requestMapping];
  XCTAssertNotNil(requestMapping, @"[Video requestMapping] returned nil.");
  
  RKObjectMapping *responseMapping = [Video responseMapping];
  XCTAssertNotNil(responseMapping, @"[Video responseMapping] returned nil.");
}

Add a new UITableViewController called ContentsViewController

This will display the Contents model that is a list of videos.

$ lanekit generate tableviewcontroller Contents -r LKFeedCell

create  SportsFrames/SportsFrames/Controllers/ContentsViewController.h
create  SportsFrames/SportsFrames/Controllers/ContentsViewController.m
create  SportsFrames/SportsFrames/Views/LKFeedCell.h
create  SportsFrames/SportsFrames/Views/LKFeedCell.m

Add the Urban Airship CocoaPods Pod to the project.

$ lanekit generate pod UrbanAirship-iOS-SDK

Installing UrbanAirship-iOS-SDK (3.0.1)

Sample App

The SportsFrames app is a fully functional iOS sample app using RestKit created to demonstrate the use of LaneKit in a real world app. It has models and resource providers that are generated from LaneKit. Download the code from GitHub.
