SKaplanOfficial / SummarizeObjCMethod.scpt
Last active October 26, 2023 01:25
JXA/ASObjC script to briefly summarize methods and properties of an Objective-C class using objc runtime methods (e.g. class_copyMethodList, method_getTypeEncoding, etc.). The script reports method names, the number of arguments they accept, the argument types, property names, property types, and property attributes such as read-only and nonatomic.
(() => {
ObjC.import('objc');
ObjC.import('AppKit')
// Get methods of ObjC class, store # of methods and properties in reference objects
const targetClass = $.NSImage;
const num_methods = Ref();
const num_properties = Ref();
const methods = $.class_copyMethodList(targetClass, num_methods);
const properties = $.class_copyPropertyList(targetClass, num_properties)

function recordForDuration(duration, destination) {
const settings = $.NSMutableDictionary.alloc.init;
settings.setValueForKey($.kAudioFormatAppleIMA4, $.AVFormatIDKey);
// Some macOS versions fail to link $.AVAudioFormat, so we manually get the class
const format = $.objc_getClass("AVAudioFormat").alloc.initWithSettings(settings);
