Question

Is there an easy-to-grock pattern how to send a NSNotification (Objective C) | Notification (in Swift) and how to receive one? Code snippet? The docs write like 150 pages on the topic. Would like to see a quick example.

Answer 1

Send a notification:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"MyCacheUpdatedNotification" object:self]; 

Receive it:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(cacheUpdated:) name:@"MyCacheUpdatedNotification" object:nil]; 

Act on it:

- (void)cacheUpdated:(NSNotification *)notification { [self load]; } 

And dispose of it:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
