NIMConfigManager

Usage

To use create a category of NIMConfigManager, such as NIMConfigManager+myApp. We create dynamic acessors for each of the properties in your config.plist. For an example look at NIMConfigManager+Example.m and exampleConfig.plist.

If your config plist contains in the following:

	<key>labelText</key>
	<string>Hello World!</string>
	<key>hideBigButton</key>
	<true/>

Our NIMConfigManager+myApp.h would look like:

	@interface NIMConfigManager (myApp)

	@property(readonly)NSString* labelText;
	@property(readonly)BOOL hideBigButton;

	@end

And the NIMConfigManager+myApp.m would be:

	@implementation NIMConfigManager (myApp)

	@dynamic labelText;
	@dynamic hideBigButton;

	@end

Usage is pretty simple, we include the category and initialise the sharedManager, after pass it our config.plist file.

	NIMConfigManager *manager = [NIMConfigManager sharedManager];
	manager.configPlist = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle]
                                                                      pathForResource:@"config"
                                                                      ofType:@"plist"]];

Accessing any of the properties we need is as simple as:

	manager.labelText;

Important Notes

Currently this manager supports all native plist types, excluding NSDictionaries.
