Container类使用包含字典的JSON数组进行初始化.这些词典用于初始化Entry类.但是,当访问条目或searchEntries属性时,Entry对象的初始化会延迟发生.

@interface Container

@property (readonly,nonatomic) NSArray *entryDicts;

@property (readonly,nonatomic) NSArray* entries;
@property (readonly,nonatomic) NSDictionary *searchEntries;

@end



@implementation Container

- (instancetype)initWithArray:(NSArray *)array
{
    self = [super init];
    if (self) {
        _entryDicts = array;
    }
    return self;
}

@synthesize entries = _entries;
- (NSArray *)entries
{
    [self loadEntriesIfNeeded];
    return _entries;
}

@synthesize entriesByNumber = _entriesByNumber;
- (NSDictionary *)entriesByNumber
{
    [self loadEntriesIfNeeded];
    return _entriesByNumber;
}

- (void)loadEntriesIfNeeded
{
    if (_entries == nil) {
        // Load entries
        NSMutableArray *entries = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:[self.entriesDict count]];
        NSMutableDictionary *entriesByNumber = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:[self.entriesDict count]];

        [self.entriesDict enumerateKeysAndObjectsUsingBlock:^(NSString *number,NSDictionary *entryDict,BOOL *stop) {
            Entry *entry = [[Entry alloc] initWithDictionary:entryDict container:self];
            [entries addObject:entry];
            entriesByNumber[number] = entry;
        }];

        _entries = [entries copy];
        _entriesByNumber = [entriesByNumber copy];

        // Delete dictionaries
        _entriesDict = nil;
    }
}
