NSIndexPath 延伸

这个类的实例描述了一个嵌套数组中特定节点的路径,一般叫做索引路径.
1.4.3.2

索引路径中的每一个索引值描述了在那一层数组中的位置.

A1
0               A2
1 ----           0
2     |          1
3     |          2
4     |          3
5     |-------->4

第一次接触这个类是因为tableview的行标记，后来发现这个不全面，专门看了发现对这个类理解有偏差：

SDK里是这么定义这个类的：The NSIndexPath class represents the path to a specific node in a tree of nested array collections. This path is known as an index path. 也就是说这个类其实是表示的结点的索引路径。官方文档有图，不明白的看一下官方文档这个类介绍的开始那个图，一目了然这个类是干嘛的。其实它可以表示的不光是俩个数组的情况，像我们熟知的tableview的行。tableview的行其实是它的最简单的一种了。

一. 创建索引路径 create indexPath object

1.1  创建一个结点的索引路径 create an one-node index path

?

1 2	NSIndexPath *oneNodeIndexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathWithIndex:6]; NSLog(@"oneNodeIndexPathvv:%@", oneNodeIndexPath);

控制台输出：

oneNodeIndexPathvv:<NSIndexPath: 0xc00000000000060e> {length = 1, path = 6}

1.2 创建一个或者多个结点的索引路径 create an index path with one or more nodes

length>indexs.count时会出现什么情况，后面的路径不准确.length<indexs.count会截取indexs的前length个数字组成node的path。总之length<indexs.count的话路径准确。

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

// one node NSUInteger indexs[] = {1};//定义并初始化一个C数组：1个元素 NSIndexPath *oneNodeIndexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathWithIndexes:indexs length:1]; NSLog(@"oneNodeIndexPath:%@", oneNodeIndexPath); // two nodes NSUInteger indexs2[] = {1, 2};//定义并初始化一个C数组:2个元素 NSIndexPath *twoNodeIndexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathWithIndexes:indexs2 length:2]; NSLog(@"twoNodeIndexPath:%@", twoNodeIndexPath); // three nodes NSUInteger indexs3[] = {1, 2 , 3 };//定义并初始化一个C数组：3个元素 NSIndexPath *threeNodeIndexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathWithIndexes:indexs3 length:3]; NSLog(@"threeNodeIndexPath:%@", threeNodeIndexPath); // four nodes NSUInteger indexs4[] = {4, 2, 3 , 4};//定义并初始化一个C数组:4个元素 NSIndexPath *fourNodeIndexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathWithIndexes:indexs4 length:4]; NSLog(@"fourNodeIndexPath:%@", fourNodeIndexPath);

控制台输出：

oneNodeIndexPath:<NSIndexPath: 0xc00000000000010e> {length = 1, path = 1}

twoNodeIndexPath:<NSIndexPath: 0xc000000000400116> {length = 2, path = 1 - 2}

threeNodeIndexPath:<NSIndexPath: 0xc000000c0040011e> {length = 3, path = 1 - 2 - 3}

fourNodeIndexPath:<NSIndexPath: 0xc002000c00400426> {length = 4, path = 4 - 2 - 3 - 4}

1.3 在tableview中的代表行索引的NSIndexPath对象创建：

NSIndexPath这个类本身在Foundation框架下，而这个方法是在UIKit下的。UIKIt里给NSIndexPath写了个category 针对于UITableView。 indexPath with two nodes

?

1 2	NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:9]; NSLog(@"indexPath: %@", indexPath);

控制台输出：

indexPath: <NSIndexPath: 0xc000000000000916> {length = 2, path = 9 - 0}

1.4 在collection中的代表索引的NSIndexPath对象的创建：下面这个同样在UIKIt框架下，针对UICollectionViewAdditions。 indexPath with two nodes

?

1 2	NSIndexPath *indexPathForCollection = [NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:1 inSection:3]; NSLog(@"indexPathForCollection : %@", indexPathForCollection);

控制台输出：

indexPathForCollection : <NSIndexPath: 0xc000000000200316> {length = 2, path = 3 - 1}

上面的都是类方法初始化出一个NSIndexPath对象，也可以用init对象方法初始化出一个NSIndexPath对象。

二. 询问索引路径 Querying Index Paths

2.1  provide the index at particular node in the index path 提供特定（指定）节点的索引值 也就是返回第几个节点的索引值

?

1 2 3 4 5 6

NSUInteger index0 = [fourNodeIndexPath indexAtPosition:0];//这个参数对应上面创建方法二中的indexs中的数组的元素下标。这个方法是要取出对应下标下的值。outside the range of the index path如果超过了indexs.count-1,则返回值不确定。 NSLog(@"index0 : %lu", (unsigned long)index0); NSLog(@"index2 : %lu", (unsigned long)[fourNodeIndexPath indexAtPosition:1]); NSLog(@"index2 : %lu", (unsigned long)[fourNodeIndexPath indexAtPosition:2]); NSLog(@"index3 : %lu", (unsigned long)[fourNodeIndexPath indexAtPosition:3]); NSLog(@"index4 : %lu", (unsigned long)[fourNodeIndexPath indexAtPosition:4]);

控制台输出：

index0 : 4

index2 : 2

index2 : 3

index3 : 4

index4 : 9223372036854775807

可以看出传的参数position>indexes.count的话，即超过了会返回不确定值得。

2.2  给原有index path 增加一个node生成一个新的index path

?

1 2 3 4

NSIndexPath *newAddIndex10 = [fourNodeIndexPath indexPathByAddingIndex:10]; NSLog(@"\nfourNodeIndexPath: %@,newAddIndex10:%@", fourNodeIndexPath,newAddIndex10 ); NSIndexPath *newAddIndex2 = [oneNodeIndexPath indexPathByAddingIndex:2]; NSLog(@"\noneNodeIndexPath: %@,newAddIndex2:%@", oneNodeIndexPath,newAddIndex2 );

控制台输出：

fourNodeIndexPath: <NSIndexPath: 0xc002000c00400426> {length = 4, path = 4 - 2 - 3 - 4},newAddIndex10:<NSIndexPath: 0x7fa3f2d0c060> {length = 5, path = 4 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 10}

oneNodeIndexPath: <NSIndexPath: 0xc00000000000010e> {length = 1, path = 1},newAddIndex2:<NSIndexPath: 0xc000000000400116> {length = 2, path = 1 - 2}

2.3 给原有index path 删除最后一个node的index（remove last index ）,生成一个新的index path

?

1 2 3 4

NSIndexPath *removingLastIndexFourNode = [fourNodeIndexPath indexPathByRemovingLastIndex]; NSLog(@"\nfourNodeIndexPath: %@,removingLastIndexFourNode:%@", fourNodeIndexPath,removingLastIndexFourNode ); NSIndexPath *removingLastIndexOneNode = [oneNodeIndexPath indexPathByRemovingLastIndex]; NSLog(@"\noneNodeIndexPath: %@,removingLastIndexOneNode:%@", oneNodeIndexPath,removingLastIndexOneNode );

控制台输出：

fourNodeIndexPath: <NSIndexPath: 0xc002000c00400426> {length = 4, path = 4 - 2 - 3 - 4},removingLastIndexFourNode:<NSIndexPath: 0xc000000c0040041e> {length = 3, path = 4 - 2 - 3}

oneNodeIndexPath: <NSIndexPath: 0xc00000000000010e> {length = 1, path = 1},removingLastIndexOneNode:<NSIndexPath: 0xc000000000000006> {length = 0, path = }

2.4 length :(索引路径的索引数组元素的个数)the number of indexs in the index path 这个属性其实在NSLog方法输出索引对象时就会显示的。

?

1 2	NSUInteger le = [fourNodeIndexPath length]; NSLog(@"le :%lu", (unsigned long)le);

控制台输出：

le :4

2.5

getIndexes:range:这个方法  不理解

拷贝存储在索引路径中的索引数组（indexes）从由position range指定的indexes到特定的indexes(specified indexes)。我这么理解的，但使用出错了，正在探索纠正中...

三. comparing Index Path

说到这个就说一下NSString的比较。凡是比较，在OC大多返回的是NSComparisonResult，它是枚举值，三个：NSOrderedAscending = -1L, NSOrderedSame, NSOrderedDescending，分别代表升序，相等，降序。

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

NSComparisonResult result = [oneNodeIndexPath compare:twoNodeIndexPath]; NSLog(@"result : %ld", (long)       result); NSComparisonResult result1 = [threeNodeIndexPath compare:twoNodeIndexPath]; NSLog(@"result1 : %ld", (long)       result1);   NSComparisonResult result2 = [threeNodeIndexPath compare:threeNodeIndexPath]; NSLog(@"result2 : %ld", (long)       result2);

控制台输出：

result : -1

result1 : 1

result2 : 0

========================NSIndexPath========================

--简介：The NSIndexPath class represents the path to a specific node in a tree of nested array collections. This path is known as an index path。NSIndexPath类代表着“嵌套数组的树”中得某节点的路径。如下图：

NSIndexPath 让你精确指定一个树结构 data structure 里面的某个节点的数据。比如你有一个 NSArray, 里面很多节点，每个节点又是一个 NSArray，每个节点的这个里面又是一个NSArray，然后下面又是一个 NSArray，这样简单说起来，你有一个四层的 NSarray ，每层下面都有好多个 NSArray。然后你造一个NSIndexPath 1.3.4.2。你就可以拿它访问，第一层的第三个节点之下的第四个节点的第二个节点的数据。

------------常用方法和属性------------

--用Index 或者 index数组和路径的长度 创建NSIndexPath；

1. + (instancetype)indexPathWithIndex:(NSUInteger)index;
2. + (instancetype)indexPathWithIndexes:(const NSUInteger [])indexes length:(NSUInteger)length;
3. - (instancetype)init;   /* designated initializer */
4. - (instancetype)initWithIndexes:(const NSUInteger [])indexes length:(NSUInteger)length; /* designated initializer */

--修改：注意返回的是一个新的对象，不是原来的对象基础上改得。

1. - (NSIndexPath *)indexPathByAddingIndex:(NSUInteger)index;
2. - (NSIndexPath *)indexPathByRemovingLastIndex;

--访问属性、比较

1. - (NSUInteger)indexAtPosition:(NSUInteger)position;
2. - (NSUInteger)length;  //路径包含节点个数 或 “路径长度"
3. // comparison support
4. - (NSComparisonResult)compare:(NSIndexPath *)otherObject;

--例：

1. NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathWithIndex:1];
2. NSLog(@"%@  length:%D ",indexPath,indexPath.length);  //<NSIndexPath: 0x8a0ea20> {length = 1, path = 1}  length:1 ​
3. indexPath = [indexPath indexPathByAddingIndex:24];
4. NSLog(@"%@  length:%D ",indexPath,indexPath.length);  //<NSIndexPath: 0x8c54090> {length = 2, path = 1 - 24}  length:2
5. NSLog(@"postion:%d",[indexPath indexAtPosition:1]);  //postion:24

备注：

1.在UITableview.h中定义着NSIndexPath的分类。用它来表示tableview中某section中某行，为了方便加了一些属性和方法：

1. // This category provides convenience methods to make it easier to use an NSIndexPath to represent a section and row
2. @interface NSIndexPath (UITableView)
3. + (NSIndexPath *)indexPathForRow:(NSInteger)row inSection:(NSInteger)section;
4. @property(nonatomic,readonly) NSInteger section;
5. @property(nonatomic,readonly) NSInteger row;
