My last message seems to have messed up newlines. Sorry about that. I will now try again.
The test app I made contains no code except for the value transformer. The stuff that is not code is just a Core Data model with one entity called "User", with two attributes "name" (string) and "lastLogin" (date).
The IB stuff is just one array controller bound to the app delegate's MOC with mode set to Entity and the entity set to "User" and "Prepare Contents" checkbox checked. The UI is just a table view with two columns; one column is bound to the array controller's arrangedObjects.name and the other column is bound to array controller's arrangedObjects.name. Feel free to type in the "Name" and "Last Login" headers above the columns just for clarity. Also, there are two "Add" and "Remove" buttons that are bound to the array controller in the obvious way.
And finally, there is a text field that is bound to array controller's selection.lastLogin with a value transformer set to CleanDateTransformer. Here is the code for CleanDateTransformer:
#import "CleanDateTransformer.h"
@interface CleanDateTransformer ()
- (NSDate *)cleanDateFromDate:(NSDate *)aDate;
@end
@implementation CleanDateTransformer
+ (Class)transformedValueClass
{
return [NSDate class];
}
+ (BOOL)allowsReverseTransformation
{
return NO;
}
- (id)transformedValue:(id)value
{
if (value == nil) return nil;
if (![value isKindOfClass:[NSDate class]])
{
NSLog(@"invalid class"); //running the app shows that this never gets called anyway
return nil;
}
return [self cleanDateFromDate:value];
}
- (NSDate *)cleanDateFromDate:(NSDate *)aDate
{
NSDateComponents *components = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSYearCalendarUnit|NSMonthCalendarUnit|NSDayCalendarUnit fromDate:aDate];
NSDate *cleanDate = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] dateFromComponents:components];
return cleanDate;
}
@end
