#ConventionalC
Cocoapod and static library to provide defaults, configurability, and convenience methods for terse Objective-C.
- Rubyish categories approximate methods of Ruby objects.
- Conventions for initializers and other methods reduce obvious and nil arguments.
- Xib configuration is enabled for properties that usually require coding.
- Terse alternatives for common operations are provided.

##Installation The recommended approach for installing ConventionalC is via the CocoaPods package manager. It may also be installed as a subproject, preferably from a git submodule, and built as standard static library.
##Rubyish Categories
Objective-C equivalents are provided for many ruby methods. Methods are based off of Ruby 2.0. Objective-C conventions are followed; For example, boolean returning methods start with verbs like 'is'. Methods with mutable versions like collect! are named with a noun like collected for the immutable version and with a verb like collect for the mutable. Where typing is important, multiple methods may be provided where only one is needed for Ruby.
Examples:
- Array.new(10, 'A') -> [NSArray newWithSize:10 object:@"A"]
- Array.new[a, b, c] -> [NSArray new:a, b, c, nil]
- array.empty? -> array.isEmpty
- array.map(...) -> [array mapped:...]
- array.map!(...) -> [mutableArray map:...]
- string.start_with('prefix') -> [string startsWith:@"prefix"]
- string.start_with('prefix1', 'prefix2') -> [string startsWithAny:@[@"prefix1", @"prefix2"]]
