Swift：包含 "complex" 数据的 pList

Question

在我阅读和尝试时:-) 我只能在 pList 文件上保存一些简单的数据类型。尽管如此，我还是喜欢使用结构、classes 等来表示我的数据。这应该尽可能容易地保存到 pList 文件并重新加载。

我明白了，NSData 是 pList 的有效类型。而且，这是一种通用数据类型。因此，将结构 move/convert/force 或 class 变量放入要保存和重新加载的 NSData 对象中是个好主意吗？怎么做到的？

直到现在我都在使用这样的东西来保存：

let dict: NSMutableDictionary = ["XYZ": "XYZ"]

// saving values
dict.setObject(myBasicArray, forKey: "BasicArray")

dict.writeToFile(path, atomically: false)

更新： 我使用了提供的代码并将其扩展为处理结构：

import Cocoa

struct SteeringItem {
    var ext    = String()   // extension including dot e.g. ".JPG"
    var bitmap = Int()      // flag for grouping file types, e.g. photos

    init?(ext: String, bitmap: Int) {
        // Initialize stored properties.
        self.ext    = ext
        self.bitmap = bitmap
    }
}

class Foo {
    let one: Int
    let two: SteeringItem


    init(one:Int, two: SteeringItem) {
        self.one = one
        self.two = two
    }

    init?(dict:[String: AnyObject]) {
        guard let
            one = dict["one"] as? Int,
            two = dict["two"] as? SteeringItem else { return nil }

        self.one = one
        self.two = two
    }

    func toDictionary() -> [String: AnyObject] {
        var retval = [String: AnyObject]()
        if let
            one = self.one as? AnyObject,
            two = self.two as? AnyObject {
            retval["one"] = one
            retval["two"] = two
        }
        return retval
    }
}

// create struct
let writeStruct = Foo(one: 1, two: SteeringItem(ext: "one",bitmap: 1)!)
print(writeStruct, "\n")

// write to plist
let writeDict = writeStruct.toDictionary() as NSDictionary
let path = ("~/test.plist" as NSString).stringByExpandingTildeInPath
writeDict.writeToFile(path, atomically: true)

// print contents of file
print(try NSString(contentsOfFile: path, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding))

// read plist and recreate struct
if let
    readDict = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path) as? [String:AnyObject],
    readStruct = Foo(dict: readDict) {
    print(readStruct)
}

不过这个就不写了。使用 String 可以，使用 "struct SteeringItem" 则不行！

更新 2：class 而不是 struct

    class SteeringItem : NSObject, NSCoding {
    var ext    = String()   // extension including dot e.g. ".JPG"
    var bitmap = Int()      // flag for grouping file types, e.g. photos

    func encodeWithCoder(aCoder: NSCoder) {
        aCoder.encodeObject(ext,    forKey: "ext")
        aCoder.encodeObject(bitmap, forKey: "bitmap")
    }

    required convenience init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        let ext    = aDecoder.decodeObjectForKey("ext")    as! String
        let bitmap = aDecoder.decodeObjectForKey("bitmap") as! Int

        self.init(ext: ext, bitmap: bitmap)
    }

    init?(ext: String, bitmap: Int) {
        // Initialize stored properties.
        self.ext    = ext
        self.bitmap = bitmap

        super.init()
    }
}

有几种方法可以做到这一点，您可以遵守 NSCoding 协议，或者您可以编写方法将 class/struct 转换为字典并从那里进行序列化。

这是使用 NSCoding protocol 的一个很好的介绍。

至于与字典相互转换，通常的方法是提供一个可失败的 init 方法，该方法采用 Dictionary<String, AnyObject> 来验证 key:value 对并将其复制到成员变量.您还提供了一种方法，该方法 returns a Dictionary<String, AnyObject> 具有与 init 相同的 key:value 对。然后，您可以通过调用 create 方法并序列化生成的 Dictionary 来进行序列化，您可以通过读入 Dictionary 并将其传递给 init 方法来进行反序列化。

这是一个转换示例：

/// Provides conversion to and from [String: AnyObject] for use in serialization
protocol Serializable {
  init?(dict:[String: AnyObject])
  func toDictionary() -> [String: AnyObject]
}

struct SteeringItem {
  // Changed var to let, it's a good practice with a simple struct
  let ext    : String   // extension including dot e.g. ".JPG"
  let bitmap : Int      // flag for grouping file types, e.g. photos
}

struct Foo {
  let one: Int
  let two: SteeringItem
}

// Add serialization to structs

extension SteeringItem: Serializable {
  init?(dict:[String: AnyObject]) {
    guard let
      ext = dict["ext"] as? String,
      bitmap = dict["bitmap"] as? Int else { return nil }
    self.ext = ext
    self.bitmap = bitmap
  }

  func toDictionary() -> [String: AnyObject] {
    var retval = [String: AnyObject]()
    if let
      ext = self.ext as? AnyObject,
      bitmap = self.bitmap as? AnyObject {
      retval["ext"] = ext
      retval["bitmap"] = bitmap
    }
    return retval
  }
}

extension Foo: Serializable {
  init?(dict:[String: AnyObject]) {
    guard let
      one = dict["one"] as? Int,
      twoDict = dict["two"] as? [String: AnyObject],
      two = SteeringItem(dict: twoDict) else { return nil }

    self.one = one
    self.two = two
  }

  func toDictionary() -> [String: AnyObject] {
    var retval = [String: AnyObject]()
    let twoDict = self.two.toDictionary()
    if let
      one = self.one as? AnyObject,
      two = twoDict as? AnyObject {
      retval["one"] = one
      retval["two"] = two
    }
    return retval
  }
}

以下是测试方法（在操场上）：

import Foundation

// create struct
let writeStruct = Foo(one: 1, two: SteeringItem(ext: "jpg", bitmap: 1))
print(writeStruct, "\n")

// write to plist
let writeDict = writeStruct.toDictionary() as NSDictionary
let path = ("~/test.plist" as NSString).stringByExpandingTildeInPath
writeDict.writeToFile(path, atomically: true)

// print contents of file
print(try NSString(contentsOfFile: path, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding))

// read plist and recreate struct
if let
  readDict = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path) as? [String:AnyObject],
  readStruct = Foo(dict: readDict) {
  print(readStruct)
}

结果：

Foo(one: 1, two: SteeringItem(ext: "jpg", bitmap: 1)) 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>one</key>
    <integer>1</integer>
    <key>two</key>
    <dict>
        <key>bitmap</key>
        <integer>1</integer>
        <key>ext</key>
        <string>jpg</string>
    </dict>
</dict>
</plist>

Foo(one: 1, two: SteeringItem(ext: "jpg", bitmap: 1))
