Question

I have a class, called Media, which represents coredata. If something changes in my database, i’ll do Editor > Create NSManagedObject Subclass, and this will re-write the .h and .m files for the class.

I want to add a getter method though. As far as i’m aware, I can’t do this through a category. What’s the best way to go about doing this?

Answer 1

Have a look at mogenerator, one of the most useful pieces of code available to the Cocoa community.

Unlike Xcode, mogenerator manages two classes per entity: one for
machines, one for humans

The machine class can always be overwritten to match the data model,
with humans’ work effortlessly preserved
