Methods
Abstract: returns the observation record that contains the exact type and target.
- (BNZObservation*)observationForChangeType:(id)changeType onTarget:(id)target;
returns the observation record that contains the exact type and target.
there may only be one observation of the same changetype on the same target
(including the cases where change type or target are nil)
Result: the observation for the given params, if existing. nil else
Abstract: create a new record object
- (id)initWithObserver:(id)observer;
Parameters
Name | Description |
observer | the observer for this record |
Result: a new record object
- (BOOL)isEmpty;
Result: YES if no observations are contained in this record, NO otherwise
Abstract: find all observations that match the given change
- (NSArray*)stateDependentObservationsForChange:(id)change inCallback:(SEL)callback;
Parameters
Name | Description |
change | the change for wich all observations shall be found |
Result: an array containing all matching BNZObservation records
- (NSArray*)observationsForChange:(id)change;
Parameters
Name | Description |
change | a given change |
Result: all observations that match the change
- (id)observer;
Result: returns the observer for this record
Abstract: remove the observation of the given type on the target
- removeObservationForChangeType:(id)changeType onTarget:(id)target;
Parameters
Name | Description |
changeType | the type of the observed changes, or nil for all |
target | the observed object for changes, of nil for all |
Result: returns self
Abstract: set a new observation
- setObservation:(BNZObservation*)observation;
a call on registerTransactionObserver in BNZTransactionalNotificationCenter
results in a call to this method
Will overwrite a previous observation of the same type on the same target, if present
(hence "set" because there can only be one observation of the same type on the same
target for the same observer)
Parameters
Name | Description |
observation | the observation object |
Result: returns self
