Starting A New Component

Processes

This page belongs to Turned On Ventures Guideline Series.

When you are creating a new component, note that :

We hold only one copy of each component, which is located in Super-Monko Component repository
Components should be written with reusing concept in mind, without any project-specific codes
Components should deliver their events to the client using Objective-C Protocols

Steps to create a new component :

Create a header file for component event delivery protocol
Document each interface message and describe about the overall behavior, arguments and the return value.
Commit the component into the following svn repository under the Source folder: http://svn2.xp-dev.com/svn/Monko-Components
Create a new test project under UnitTests Folder and import the component
Implement test cases and verify the component behavior
Check the component for memory leaks using Instruments
