MTControl

Attach block handlers to UIControl objects jQuery style!

Installation

In your Podfile, add this line:

pod "MTControl"

pod? => https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/

NOTE: You may need to add -all_load to "Other Linker Flags" in your targets build settings if the pods library only contains categories.

Example Usage

A simple touch down event:

UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeContactAdd];

[button touchDown:^(UIEvent *event) {
	[_spinner start];
	[_model fetchFromServer:@"http://mysterioustrousers.com" success:^(BOOL success){
		[_spinner stop];
	}];
}];

See? Just like jQuery! Works with any subclass of UIControl.

Let's try another:

UITextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 40)];

[textField editingDidBegin:^(UIEvent *event) {
	textField.text = @"";
}];

And to remove the block (unbind):

[button removeBlocksForControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];
