Using multiple instances of the same Mediator

In view of the above post, how to accomplish the same for Objective-C Port?

The mediator just has to have a unique name. In the demo you linked to, that name is a concatenation of the view component's id property and the mediator's NAME constant. Does your view component not have the equivalent of an id property?

Hi:

I worked it out using following strategy,

@implementation CigaretteMediator

+ (NSString *)NAME {
    return @"CigaretteMediator";
}

- (void)initializeMediator {
    self.mediatorName = [[CigaretteMediator NAME] stringByAppendingString:[viewComponent name]];
}

in my view component had to create a function and property ([viewComponent name]), for setting and retrieving a unique name, though I was looking for a built-in property such as what Cliff suggest like id something, is there something like that we can set and get a built-in property programmatically for each UIViewController
