Is it possible to have a "#pragma mark" hierarchy?


I use #pragma mark - Description frequently to organize my methods in Xcode. However, I find that sometimes I need to categories and subcategories for my methods, like this:

  • Public Methods

    • Helper Methods
      • aMethod
    • Other Type of Methods
      • anotherMethod
  • Private Methods

    • Some Type of Method
      • aPrivateMethod

Is this possible?


Solution

  • Simply only use the - before and after your main section to surround it in lines, exclude the dash for the subsections, and then the method names will show as always.

    #pragma mark - Public Methods -
    #pragma mark Helper Methods
    - (void)aMethod{}
    #pragma mark Other Type of Methods
    - (void)anotherMethod{}
    
    #pragma mark - Private Methods -
    #pragma mark Some Type of Method
    - (void)aPrivateMethod{}
