I am working on a messaging app using JSQMessagesViewController, and I want to associate another variable, an Integer score
, with each message (along with the d
Just subclass the JSQMessage object and add your extra variable to your subclassed object. Then it will conform and have all the same methods.
Edit:
It looks like I might have miss lead you, the documentation instructs you to conform to the JSQMessageData
protocol. I did it like this
class Message: NSObject, JSQMessageData {
var text_: String?
var senderId_: String?
var date_: NSDate?
var senderDisplayName_: String?
var isMediaMessage: Bool?
var score: Int? ***** Here is your new Variable
init(text: String?, senderId: String?, senderDisplayName: String?, score: Int?, date: NSDate) {
self.text_ = text
self.senderId_ = senderId
self.isOutBound_ = isOutBound
self.date_ = date
self.senderDisplayName_ = senderDisplayName
self.score_ = score *****
}
func text() -> String? {
return text_
}
func score() -> Int? { *****
return score_
}
func senderId() -> String? {
return senderId_
}
func date() -> NSDate? {
return date_
}
func senderDisplayName() -> String? {
return senderDisplayName_
}
func isMediaMessage() -> Bool {
return isMediaMessage_
}
func messageHash() -> UInt {
return UInt(self.hash)
}
}
You can still do it the other way but Protocols are the way to go.
Let me know if that helped I may have just confused you more :) But I will try and clarify. Good Luck
