What you need to do to open a file from the menu in the document-Based App macOS app

When I thought about making an image viewer, I was lightly addicted to it with my first move, so some people may stumble on the same thing. The environment is Xcode 12.3.

Create a new project in Document App

This is natural, so the explanation is omitted.

Register the target file type in Document Types

Register the file in Target-> Info-> Document Types.

For Class, specify the "Document" class that is automatically created when the project is created.

Specify UTI for Identifier. I can't find any information about Apple's home about what kind of character string to specify, but a list is given on the following site. http://potting.syuriken.jp/potting_conv/understanding_utis_J/chapter4.html

Below is an example for opening an image file.

Make the Document class available from Objective-C

It seems that the "Document" class that inherits NSDocument cannot be used as it is in Swift-based apps, so it is necessary to add a line using @objc. (I couldn't find this information easily ...) Specifically, it looks like this.

@objc(Document) //add to
class Document: NSDocument {
...

Modify the method of loading the Document class

At this point, you can select the file, so add the actual reading process. By default, the following methods are called.

override func read(from data: Data, ofType typeName: String)

If you want to get the file path, override the following method.

override func read(from: URL, ofType: String)
