Objective-C partial implementation of classes in separate files


I am using core data and am generating classes from my data model.

I implement custom methods in these classes, however when i regenerate i generate over the top so i end up copying and pasting a bit. What i would like to do is split my implementation files ('.m') so i can have one header file with multiple '.m' files. then i can keep my custom methods in one and not have to worry about erasing them when i regenerate. I use this technique in .NET a lot with its partial keyword. Is there anything similar in objective-C


Solution

  • You may also want to look at mogenerator, which takes a different approach to generating classes for entities.
