IOS Faceted TableView-AOPTableView
This is an open source project of the company long ago, written by a big bull, which has been used in the project. Today, I have some time to send it to see how to realize it. After reading it, I feel quite fruitful, so I write this article and share it with students who need it. The library open source address: MeetYouDevs/IMYAOPTableView
An overview of
WHY AOP TableView
About why using AOP in MeetYouDevs/IMYAOPTableView this library have been mentioned in the introduction to the, mainly for access to advertising in our data flow of this kind of scenario, the most primitive way is to request data and advertising, according to the rules of the merged data, The process of displaying business data and advertising data is shown in the figure below. The disadvantage of this scheme is that there is obvious coupling. Advertising and normal business are coupled together, but it also violates the principle of single responsibility in the design principle. Therefore, this way is not elegant enough, and the maintenance cost in the later stage is also relatively large.
 
So how to solve this problem? How do you elegantly solve this problem in a non-intrusive way? The answer is to use AOP to allow normal business and advertising to be processed in parallel and independently, as shown in the figure below
HOW DESIGN AOP TableView
How do you design an AOP-usable TableView? One of the points mentioned in the design is that there is no problem that can’t be solved by adding a layer. If not, add another layer! . AOP TableView also exists this processing layer, undertake the following responsibilities: 1, inject non-business advertising content; 2. Forwarding different business to different processors; 3. Deal with the conversion relationship between display, business and advertising; There are also some auxiliary methods.
The following figure is AOPTableView design class diagram, IMYAOPTableViewUtils class is this layer, in order to conform to the principle of single responsibility in the design, through classification, the function of this class is split into multiple different modules, For example, IMYAOPTableViewUtils (UITableViewDelegate) handles delegate forwarding, IMYAOPTableViewUtils (UITableViewDataSource) handles dataSource forwarding, Mainly completed the following transactions
- Inject the corresponding position of the AD content
- Set up the AOP
- As the real Delegate/DataSource of the TableView
- Handles forwarding Delegate/DataSource methods to business or ads
- Handle delegate forwarding ->IMYAOPTableViewUtils (UITableViewDelegate)
- IMYAOPTableViewUtils (UITableViewDataSource)
Set up the AOP
After creating the IMYAOPTableViewUtils object, you need to inject the AOP Class. The main steps are as follows:
- Save the Delegate/DataSource ->injectTableView method for the business
- Set the TableView delegate/dataSource to IMYAOPBaseUtils -> injectFeedsView
- Dynamically create a subclass of TableView -> makeSubclassWithClass
- And set the business to the TableView isa pointer -> bindingFeedsView method to handle
- Set the aop method -> setupAopClass method to dynamically create a subclass of TableView
In particular: dynamically create subclasses and add AOP methods to dynamically create subclasses. The final processing methods for that subtype will be in the _IMYAOPTableView class
- (void)injectTableView {
UITableView *tableView = self.tableView;
_origDataSource = tableView.dataSource;
_origDelegate = tableView.delegate;
[self injectFeedsView:tableView];

_IMYAOPTableView’s job is to convert the business rules into real list rules when the business side directly uses the TableView’s corresponding methods. For example, the following business side calls cellForRowAtIndexPath and goes to the following method: In this case, indexPath is the business’s own indexPath, such as the fifth position visible in the list, but there are two ads in front of it. In the logic of the business side, the indexPath corresponds to the third position, so it needs to be corrected to return the correct indexPath. Get the corresponding Cell so that there is no problem
- (UITableViewCell *)aop_cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
AopDefineVars;
if (aop_utils) {
// Fix the indexPath used by the business to be the real indexPath
indexPath = [aop_utils feedsIndexPathByUser:indexPath];
}
aop_utils.isUICalling += 1;
UITableViewCell *cell = AopCallSuperResult_1(@selector(cellForRowAtIndexPath:), indexPath);
aop_utils.isUICalling -= 1;
return cell;
}

Using AOP
Non-business data insertion
The IMYAOPBaseUtils class provides two methods for processing non-business data
// insert sections and indexPaths
- (void)insertWithSections:(nullable NSArray<__kindof IMYAOPBaseInsertBody *> *)sections;
- (void)insertWithIndexPaths:(nullable NSArray<__kindof IMYAOPBaseInsertBody *> *)indexPaths;
/ / implementation
- (void)insertWithIndexPaths:(NSArray<IMYAOPBaseInsertBody *> *)indexPaths {
NSArray<IMYAOPBaseInsertBody *> *array = [indexPaths sortedArrayUsingComparator:^NSComparisonResult(IMYAOPBaseInsertBody *_Nonnull obj1, IMYAOPBaseInsertBody *_Nonnull obj2) {
return [obj1.indexPath compare:obj2.indexPath];
}];
NSMutableDictionary *insertMap = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[array enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(IMYAOPBaseInsertBody *_Nonnull obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *_Nonnull stop) {
NSInteger section = obj.indexPath.section;
NSInteger row = obj.indexPath.row;
NSMutableArray *rowArray = insertMap[@(section)];
if(! rowArray) { rowArray = [NSMutableArray array];
[insertMap setObject:rowArray forKey:@(section)];
}
while (YES) {
BOOL hasEqual = NO;
for (NSIndexPath *inserted in rowArray) {
if (inserted.row == row) {
row++;
hasEqual = YES;
break; }}if (hasEqual == NO) {
break; }}NSIndexPath *insertPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:row inSection:section];
[rowArray addObject:insertPath];
obj.resultIndexPath = insertPath;
}];
self.sectionMap = insertMap;
}

The insertWithIndexPaths call inserts non-business advertising data, where the inserted data is location
/// simple rows inserts
- (void)insertRows {
NSMutableArray<IMYAOPTableViewInsertBody *> *insertBodys = [NSMutableArray array];
/// randomly generated 5 positions to insert
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:arc4random() % 10 inSection:0];
[insertBodys addObject:[IMYAOPTableViewInsertBody insertBodyWithIndexPath:indexPath]];

The above code calls are used in the demo. SectionMap stores the following data: Key is section, value is the IndexPath array of all inserted data under the corresponding section. SectionMap data is used to process the mapping between real data and business data

The userIndexPathByFeeds method uses sectionMap to handle transformations between real indexPath and business indexPath
If the real indexPath is (0-5) and two ads are inserted in front of it, the indexPath will be fixed to the business indexPath, i.e. (0-3). If the position is the advertising position, So return nil
- (NSIndexPath *)userIndexPathByFeeds:(NSIndexPath *)feedsIndexPath {
if(! feedsIndexPath) {return nil;
}
NSInteger section = feedsIndexPath.section;
NSInteger row = feedsIndexPath.row;
NSMutableArray<NSIndexPath *> *array = self.sectionMap[@(section)];
NSInteger cutCount = 0;
for (NSIndexPath *obj in array) {
if (obj.row == row) {
cutCount = - 1;
break;
}
if (obj.row < row) {
cutCount++;
} else {
break; }}if (cutCount < 0) {
return nil;
}
/// If the position is not an advertisement, it is converted to a logical index
section = [self userSectionByFeeds:section];
NSIndexPath *userIndexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:row - cutCount inSection:section];
return userIndexPath;
}

The AOP proxy method callback
As shown in the figure above, IMYAOPTableViewUtils acts as the delegate and dataSource of the TableView as the middle layer, and handles the forwarding of the corresponding event to the specific handler in the modified class: the business side or the non-business advertising side
Such as the following for the cell agent method tableView: cellForRowAtIndexPath:, indexPath fixes will first, and then judge is a business and non-business, then use different dataSource to carry on the corresponding processing, code has made a comment, Details are included in the explanatory notes
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
kAOPUICallingSaved;
kAOPUserIndexPathCode;
UITableViewCell *cell = nil;
if ([dataSource respondsToSelector:@selector(tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:)]) {

if(! [cell isKindOfClass:[UITableViewCell class]]) {
cell = [UITableViewCell new];
if (dataSource) {
NSAssert(NO.@"Cell is Nil");
}
}
kAOPUICallingResotre;
return cell;
}
// macro definition of the code segment, the user is to determine whether the position is used by the business IndexPath, if yes return business DataSource->origDataSource, otherwise return non-business DataSource-> DataSource
