Re: Exposing Methods in a Framework

I would find it slightly cleaner by "hiding" your private ivars inside a category of the class, that you define elsewhere. For example:

This is what you have in your public header:

@interface ClassForEveryone : NSObject
{
}
...
@end

Then in a private header, you do:

@interface ClassForEveryone (Private)
{
  id secretVar;
}
...
@end

I have a framework that other developers will use. In it I want to expose specific methods but not necessary all the instance variables and methods. I was looking for the preferred way of doing this with obj-c. I was planning on using a sub class and having the subclass .h in my framework header folder.

For example here are two classes. The class ForEveryoneToSee does not expose my instance variables. My framework would have this in the headers folder. It would not have the .h for ForMeToSee. Is this the preferred way of doing this? It seams like there should be a cleaner way to do this.

@interface ForEveryoneToSee : NSObject {

}
-(NSString *)		 myData;
-(void)			setMyData(NSString * )inData;

@end


@interface ForMeToSee : ForEveryoneToSee {
	NSString * _myData;

}
-(NSString *)		 myData;
-(void)			setMyData(NSString * )inData;

@end


thanks for the help.
