BSInspector. Inspect your objects
Inspecting the objects that I deal with in my applications has been a dream of mine since I discovered this isn't working in Xcode. I finally decided to do that stuff myself and here it is: inspectors for your objects. The default version supplies an inspector for Arrays and Dictionaries and everything else is simply inspected by its debug string. The BSInspectors include a simple API for everyone to create his own plugins, so you can even inspect the objects you created just for your own projects. The archive includes the source-code and a sample-plugin.
Features
- Lists all instance variables that are declared as objects in the general inspector
- Double-click your objects in the debugger to open the inspectors
- Inspects Strings, Arrays and Dictionaries by default
- Supplies an easy to use API to enable other developers to write their own plugins
Usage Hints
- Use the supplied installer to install the Xcode plugin and the bsInspector or bsDebugObject plugins.
- The DebugTest folder contains a sample project that can be used to try out the BSInspectors
