Simple, Clean Persistence in Rubymotion with motion-persistable

While working on a current iOS app I was using the very useful BubbleWrap  gem for persisting values within a few classes. While BubbleWrap is great, but I found that having to call `App::Persistence[]` throughout my app wasn't ideal. 

For one, using strings as the persistence keys is not DRY - you change the key in one place, you have to change it all over. `motion-persistable` is a simple gem that provides a wrapper around BubbleWrap's persistence (which uses NSUserDefaults under the hood) to add attribute accessor macros for persistable attributes. 

Using it is as simple as:

class User include Motion::Persistable 

  attr_accessor :name 

  # This is the motion-persistable part 

  attr_persisted :email 

end 

@user = User.new("bodacious") 

@user.email = "[email protected]" 

# ... later 

@user = User.new("bodacious") 

@user.email # => "[email protected]"

For class methods: 

class User 

  class << self 

  include Motion::Persistable 

  attr_persisted :use_count, 0

  attr_persisted :email, "[default]" do |value| 

   # This block is executed when a new value is set    

   mixpanel.people.set(email: value) 

end 

 end 

end 

 User.email = "bodacious" 

User.email # => "bodacious" 

The gem is available on Github
