Way to generate identical string from a repeated invocation of string generation methods about loremipsum HOT 3 CLOSED

Do you expect to return the same text globally in the whole application for each of the methods or rather a build-in memory for keeping the strings around without the need to create variables?

Perhaps if when you instantiate a LoremIpsum object it would provide the same strings for each invocation of paragraph, sentence, and so on. You could then just hold onto that single object some place. Might make sense from an API design perspective: the class methods on LoremIpsum are randomized on each invocation and the equivalent instance methods are only randomized on instantiation of the LoremIpsum object. Just a thought!

when you instantiate

This is exactly what I don't want to do. The LoremIpsum should be just an in-place generator and should contain as little logic as possible. Therefore I don't like the idea of being able to instantiate objects of LoremIpsum.

When introducing a global lock on the class, there would be a problem when attempting to use methods not intended to be locked. A lock for individual methods would be an overkill.

I have two suggestions for you:

1. You could either build a category on LoremIpsum for your particular use case and move the code with storing the generated string there.
2. You can also generate the whole table structure at the beginning and store it in the view controller. Then you can use the already generated data in the UITableViewDataSource methods.
