Concept: Truth, Information Flow, Clear Responsibilities and Immutability
1. Truth
1.1 Single Source of Truth
单一的事实/真想来源
Ref[2] Ref[3]
"One core principle that is good to keep in mind when modelling various states is to try to stick to
a “single source of truth” as much as possible. One easy wayto look at this is that you should never
need to check for multiple conditions to determine what state you are in." Ref[2]
1.2 Truth vs
Ref[1]
2. Information Flow (Data Flow)
3. Clear Responsibilities
4. Immutability
google "immutable object in objective-c"
4.0 Mutable vs Immutable Object
4.1 Why immutable object?
Value Object
“In computer science, a value object is a small object that represents a simple entity
whose equality is not based on identity: i.e. two value objects are equal when they
have the same value, not necessarily being the same object.
Value objects should be immutable: this is required for the implicit contract that
two value objects created equal, should remain equal. It is also useful for value objects
to be immutable, as client code cannot put the value object in an invalid state or
introduce buggy behaviour after instantiation.” Ref[9]
Value Object and Mantle
"For an Objective-C class to be used as a value object, it needs to be immutable,
support value equality, implement proper hashing, and support NSCopying.
Mantle provides the latter three just by subclassing MTLModel. "
4.2 Immutability and Builder Pattern

Remodel is a tool that helps iOS and OS X developers avoid repetitive code by generating Objective-C
models that support coding, value comparison, and immutability.
