The Nemo Logic's (NL) main goal is to speed up the architectural development of the projects.
When we create a new application it is mandatory to create a well designed, separated architecture. The NL will provide a layered architecture, with 4 layers. The four layers are the following:
- Manager
- Data Access Controller
- Communication Layer
- Network Service
The manager’s responsibility is to contain all business logic. For example collect and modify the data for the presentation layer. The manager can not contain data operations like create / remove / persist. Each manager has exactly one or zero data access controller on the property called dataAccessController.
The data access controller’s responsibility to handle data operations like create / remove / persist. The manager can pass data to the controller to save it, or ask it for cached values. Based on the needs of the project, it can use the persistent store (like Core Data, file system, etc ).
The communication controller will handle all communication requests from the manager. Because each application is different, it can have multiple network service controller for different endpoints. Usually if the manager receive an error, it can use the data access controller to receive the cached value. Otherwise it can pass the received value to the DAO layer to persist it.
The network service will handle all network calls.
To use the NL you have to create a configuration plist file. At the root, there are the managers definitions, which are dictionaries. Each manager has the following format:
- manager name - Dictionary - The name of the manager
- className String - mandatory - The class of the manager. Child class of NLManager.
- communicationController Dictionary - optional - Definition of the communication controller
- className String - mandatory - The class of the Communication Controller. Child class of NLCommunicationController
- services Array - optional - Definition of the services
- className String - mandatory - The class of the Network Service. Child class of NLNetworkService
- propertyName String - mandatory - The name of the property in the communication controller to set the service
- networkServiceConfiguration Dictionary - optional - The configuration of the network service. It is passed to the designated initialiser of the network service.
- dataAccessController Dictionary - optional - Definition of the data access controller
- className String - mandatory - The class of the Data Access Controller. Child class of NLDataAccessController
To start using Nemo Logic you have to add the Nemo Logic as a pod. Once you have updated the pods, and added the created plist file to the application, you can start using the NL.
To access to a manager, you have to import the NLManagerProvider header file and the requested manager header. After that you can use like this:
[[NLManagerProvider sharedInstance] managerWithName:UserManager];
The name of the manager is added as a const NSString based on the manager name in the configuration file.
The manager provider can accept plist file with different name. In that case you can set the configuration dictionary as a class method:
[NLManagerProvider setConfigurationDictionary:yourOwnConfigurationDictionary]
