How to use functions of MantleArrayExtension

Conversion between Model and String (or Array)

// String to Model
id<MAESerializing> model = [MAEArrayAdapter modelOfClass:model.class
                                              fromString:@"2017-01-29, 'Alice Brown', 1, 2, 3"
                                                   error:&error];

// Model to String
NSString* string = [MAEArrayAdapter stringFromModel:model
                                              error:&error];

Model definition

Model MUST inherit MTLModel and conforms MAEArraySerializing.

#pragma mark - MAEArraySerializing

+ (NSArray* _Nonnull)formatByPropertyKey
{
    return @[ @"date", MAESingleQuoted(@"name"), MAEVariadic(@"scores") ];
}

+ (unichar)separator
{
    return ',';
}

+ (BOOL)ignoreEdgeBlank
{
    return YES;
}

Kind of format

• @"propetyName"
  • Double quoted-string, single quoted-string or enumerate-string
• MAEQuoted(@"propertyName")
  • Double quoted-string
• MAESingleQuoted(@"propertyName")
  • Single quoted-string
• MAEOptional(@"propertyName")
  • Optional
• MAEVariadic(@"propertyName")
  • Group from this position as one array.
• MAERaw(@"rawString"), MAERawEither(@[@"value1", @"value2"])
  • The string expect one of specified strings
• MAERawEither(@[@"value1", @"value2"]).withProperty(@"propertyName")
  • MAERaw or MAERawEither associate with property.

Transformer

You can use serializer for MAEArraySerializing object.

• MAEArrayAdapter # stringTransformerWithArrayModelClass:
• MAEArrayAdapter # variadicTransformerWithArrayModelClass:

For MAEArraySerializing property, it is used by default, so you do not need to specify it.
