Typhoon not injecting property (without storyboard)

Question

I cannot get properties injected into view controllers using XIBs with initWithNibName:bundle:

Example:

This is my assembly:

@im         


        

Answer 1

So, I had to first ask my AppAssembly for an instance of viewControllerB with the assembly injected and then I was able to use it to get an instance of viewControllerC.

AppAssembly code:

- (ViewControllerB *)viewControllerB
{
    return [TyphoonDefinition withClass:[ViewControllerB class]
                          configuration:^(TyphoonDefinition *definition) {
                              [definition useInitializer:@selector(initWithNibName:bundle:)
                                              parameters:^(TyphoonMethod *initializer) {
                                                  [initializer injectParameterWith:@"ViewControllerB"];
                                                  [initializer injectParameterWith:nil];
                                              }];

                              [definition injectProperty:@selector(assembly) with:self];
                          }];
}

- (ViewControllerC *)viewControllerC
{
    return [TyphoonDefinition withClass:[ViewControllerC class]
                          configuration:^(TyphoonDefinition *definition) {
                              [definition useInitializer:@selector(initWithNibName:bundle:)
                                              parameters:^(TyphoonMethod *initializer) {
                                                  [initializer injectParameterWith:@"ViewControllerC"];
                                                  [initializer injectParameterWith:nil];
                                              }];

                              [definition injectProperty:@selector(name) with:@"Injected string"];
    }];
}

ViewControllerA code:

@implementation ViewControllerA

- (IBAction)buttonAction:(id)sender
{
    ViewControllerB *viewControllerB = [[[AppAssembly new] activate] viewControllerB];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:viewControllerB animated:YES];
}

@end

ViewControllerB code:

@implementation ViewControllerB

- (IBAction)buttonAction:(id)sender 
{
    ViewControllerC *viewControllerC = [self.assembly viewControllerC];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:viewControllerC animated:YES];
}

@end

ViewControllerC code:

@implementation ViewControllerC

- (void)viewDidLoad 
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.title = self.name;
}

@end

As you can see I had to do this: ViewControllerB *viewControllerB = [[[AppAssembly new] activate] viewControllerB]; Not sure if there is another way. Because of doing that I was able to have the assembly injected in ViewControllerB, and that let me do this: ViewControllerC *viewControllerC = [self.assembly viewControllerC]; However, I noticed that I could also do ViewControllerC *viewControllerC = [[[AppAssembly new] activate] viewControllerC];, so not sure which the better approach is. Anyway, I think I had to call new and activate at least once.

Thanks.
