runtime关联属性示例

前言

在开发中经常需要给已有的类添加方法和属性，但是Objective-C是不允许给已有类通过分类添加属性的，因为类分类是不会自动生成成员变量的。但是，我们可以通过运行时机制就可以做到了。

本篇文章适合新手阅读，手把手教你如何在项目中使用关联属性！

API介绍

我们先看看Runtime提供的关联API，只有这三个API，使用也是非常简单的：

 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42

/** * Sets an associated value for a given object using a given key and association policy. * * @param object The source object for the association. * @param key The key for the association. * @param value The value to associate with the key key for object. Pass nil to clear an existing association. * @param policy The policy for the association. For possible values, see “Associative Object Behaviors.” * * @see objc_setAssociatedObject * @see objc_removeAssociatedObjects */ void objc_setAssociatedObject(id object, const void *key, id value, objc_AssociationPolicy policy)   /** * Returns the value associated with a given object for a given key. * * @param object The source object for the association. * @param key The key for the association. * * @return The value associated with the key \e key for \e object. * * @see objc_setAssociatedObject */ id objc_getAssociatedObject(id object, const void *key)   /** * Removes all associations for a given object. * * @param object An object that maintains associated objects. * * @note The main purpose of this function is to make it easy to return an object *  to a "pristine state”. You should not use this function for general removal of *  associations from objects, since it also removes associations that other clients *  may have added to the object. Typically you should use \c objc_setAssociatedObject *  with a nil value to clear an association. * * @see objc_setAssociatedObject * @see objc_getAssociatedObject */ void objc_removeAssociatedObjects(id object)

实际上，我们几乎不会使用到objc_removeAssociatedObjects函数，这个函数的功能是移除指定的对象上所有的关联。既然我们要添加关联属性，几乎不会存在需要手动取消关联的场合。

设置关联值（Setter）

对于设置关联，我们需要使用下面的API关联起来：

 

1 2 3

void objc_setAssociatedObject(id object, const void *key, id value, objc_AssociationPolicy policy)

参数说明：

• object：与谁关联，通常是传self
• key：唯一键，在获取值时通过该键获取，通常是使用static const void *来声明
• value：关联所设置的值
• policy：内存管理策略，比如使用copy

获取关联值（Getter）

如果我们要获取所关联的值，需要通过key来获取，调用如下函数：

 

1 2 3

id objc_getAssociatedObject(id object, const void *key)

参数说明：

• object：与谁关联，通常是传self，在设置关联时所指定的与哪个对象关联的那个对象
• key：唯一键，在设置关联时所指定的键

关联策略

我们先看看设置关联时所指定的policy，它是一个枚举类型，看官方说明：

 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

/** * Policies related to associative references. * These are options to objc_setAssociatedObject() */ typedef OBJC_ENUM(uintptr_t, objc_AssociationPolicy) {     OBJC_ASSOCIATION_ASSIGN = 0,           /**< Specifies a weak reference to the associated object. */     OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC = 1, /**< Specifies a strong reference to the associated object.                                             *   The association is not made atomically. */     OBJC_ASSOCIATION_COPY_NONATOMIC = 3,   /**< Specifies that the associated object is copied.                                             *   The association is not made atomically. */     OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN = 01401,       /**< Specifies a strong reference to the associated object.                                             *   The association is made atomically. */     OBJC_ASSOCIATION_COPY = 01403          /**< Specifies that the associated object is copied.                                             *   The association is made atomically. */ };

我们说明一下各个值的作用：

• OBJC_ASSOCIATION_ASSIGN：表示弱引用关联，通常是基本数据类型，如int、float，非线程安全
• OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC：表示强（strong）引用关联对象，非线程安全
• OBJC_ASSOCIATION_COPY_NONATOMIC：表示关联对象copy，非线程安全
• OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN：表示强（strong）引用关联对象，是线程安全的
• OBJC_ASSOCIATION_COPY：表示关联对象copy，是线程安全的

扩展属性

我们来写一个例子，扩展UIControl添加Block版本的TouchUpInside事件。

扩展头文件声明：

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>   typedef void (^HYBTouchUpBlock)(id sender);   @interface UIControl (HYBBlock)   @property (nonatomic, copy) HYBTouchUpBlock hyb_touchUpBlock;   @end

扩展实现文件：

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39

#import "UIControl+HYBBlock.h" #import <objc/runtime.h>   static const void *sHYBUIControlTouchUpEventBlockKey = "sHYBUIControlTouchUpEventBlockKey";   @implementation UIControl (HYBBlock)   - (void)setHyb_touchUpBlock:(HYBTouchUpBlock)hyb_touchUpBlock {   objc_setAssociatedObject(self,                            sHYBUIControlTouchUpEventBlockKey,                            hyb_touchUpBlock,                            OBJC_ASSOCIATION_COPY);      [self removeTarget:self               action:@selector(hybOnTouchUp:)     forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];      if (hyb_touchUpBlock) {     [self addTarget:self              action:@selector(hybOnTouchUp:)    forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];   } }   - (HYBTouchUpBlock)hyb_touchUpBlock {   return objc_getAssociatedObject(self, sHYBUIControlTouchUpEventBlockKey); }   - (void)hybOnTouchUp:(UIButton *)sender {   HYBTouchUpBlock touchUp = self.hyb_touchUpBlock;      if (touchUp) {     touchUp(sender);   } }   @end
