Motivation and Context
This will replace the extension category on NSDictionary, which has always felt a little bit hacky and has caused issues in weird circumstances due to requiring special build flags to work properly.
Description
Add a new
CDVSettingsDictionary
class that is used for accessing preferences.Yes, subclassing
NSDictionary
is generally considered a bad idea because the internal implementation details are weird and cause problems. However, in this case we're essentially wrapping a realNSMutableDictionary
and proxying everything to it, so this should work the way we'd expect it to.Testing
Added new unit test providing coverage for all the CDVSettingsDictionary methods.
Added a test file to check Swift behaviour as well, but adding it to the test suite project doesn't work (weird Xcode swift errors). I'd like to refactor the test project setup as well, but I'll deal with that after getting through the main CordovaLib project...
