initWithContentRectstyleMaskbackingdefer

initWithContent: is a conventional Objective-C initializer used to create an object with a given content value. The name follows Cocoa naming conventions: the method begins with initWith to indicate an instance initializer, and the remainder describes the parameter. The method typically returns instancetype and is often the designated initializer for the class.

Implementation pattern commonly includes calling the superclass initializer and then configuring the instance with the provided content. For example:

- (instancetype)initWithContent:(NSString *)content {

self = [super init];

if (self) {

_content = [content copy];

}

return self;

}

Usage example:

MyObject *obj = [[MyObject alloc] initWithContent:@"Sample"];

In Swift, when bridged from Objective-C, the method is imported as init(content:).

Notes and guidelines:

- Always call a superclass initializer and check that self is non-nil before assigning properties.

- Choose appropriate memory semantics for the content property (copy for NSString, strong for objects that should be retained).

- If the initializer may receive nil content, decide whether to allow it or return nil to signal failure.

- If there are multiple initializers, this pattern can serve as the designated initializer and others can delegate to it.

Common variations replace NSString with other content types and adjust property handling accordingly. The concept remains: initWithContent: provides a clear, self-documenting way to construct objects with pre-initialized content, fitting neatly into Cocoa’s design philosophy of explicit, descriptive initializers.
