KVC 与 KVO 是 Objective C 的关键概念,个人认为必须理解的东西,下面是实例讲解。
KVC,即是指 NSKeyValueCoding,一个非正式的 Protocol,提供一种机制来间接访问对象的属性。KVO 就是基于 KVC 实现的关键技术之一。
一个对象拥有某些属性。比如说,一个 Person 对象有一个 name 和一个 address 属性。以 KVC 说法,Person 对象分别有一个 value 对应他的 name 和 address 的 key。 key 只是一个字符串,它对应的值可以是任意类型的对象。从最基础的层次上看,KVC 有两个方法:一个是设置 key 的值,另一个是获取 key 的值。如下面的例子:
?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | void changeName(Person *p, NSString *newName) { // using the KVC accessor (getter) method NSString *originalName = [p valueForKey:@ "name" ]; // using the KVC accessor (setter) method. [p setValue:newName forKey:@ "name" ]; NSLog(@ "Changed %@'s name to: %@" , originalName, newName); } |
现在,如果 Person 有另外一个 key 配偶(spouse),spouse 的 key 值是另一个 Person 对象,用 KVC 可以这样写:
?
void logMarriage(Person *p) { // just using the accessor again, same as example above NSString *personsName = [p valueForKey:@"name"]; // this line is different, because it is using // a "key path" instead of a normal "key" NSString *spousesName = [p valueForKeyPath:@"spouse.name"]; NSLog(@"%@ is happily married to %@", personsName, spousesName); } |
key 与 key pat 要区分开来,key 可以从一个对象中获取值,而 key path 可以将多个 key 用点号 “.” 分割连接起来,比如:
[p valueForKeyPath:@ "spouse.name" ]; |
相当于这样……
[[p valueForKey:@ "spouse" ] valueForKey:@ "name" ]; |
好了,以上是 KVC 的基本知识,接着看看 KVO。
Key-Value Observing (KVO) 建立在 KVC 之上,它能够观察一个对象的 KVC key path 值的变化。举个例子,用代码观察一个 person 对象的 address 变化,以下是实现的三个方法:
watchPersonForChangeOfAddress: 实现观察
observeValueForKeyPath:ofObject:change:context: 在被观察的 key path 的值变化时调用。
dealloc 停止观察
static NSString *const KVO_CONTEXT_ADDRESS_CHANGED = @"KVO_CONTEXT_ADDRESS_CHANGED" @implementation PersonWatcher -(void) watchPersonForChangeOfAddress:(Person *)p { // this begins the observing [p addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"address" options:0 context:KVO_CONTEXT_ADDRESS_CHANGED]; // keep a record of all the people being observed, // because we need to stop observing them in dealloc [m_observedPeople addObject:p]; } // whenever an observed key path changes, this method will be called - (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context { // use the context to make sure this is a change in the address, // because we may also be observing other things if(context == KVO_CONTEXT_ADDRESS_CHANGED) { NSString *name = [object valueForKey:@"name"]; NSString *address = [object valueForKey:@"address"]; NSLog(@"%@ has a new address: %@", name, address); } } -(void) dealloc; { // must stop observing everything before this object is // deallocated, otherwise it will cause crashes for(Person *p in m_observedPeople){ [p removeObserver:self forKeyPath:@"address"]; } [m_observedPeople release]; m_observedPeople = nil; [super dealloc]; } -(id) init; { if(self = [super init]){ m_observedPeople = [NSMutableArray new]; } return self; } @end |
这就是 KVO 的作用,它通过 key path 观察对象的值,当值发生变化的时候会收到通知。
