UIView+AORefreshFont

UIView+AORefreshFont is a category on UIView that provides a convenience method for resetting the dynamic type font of a text-input view.

This is useful, for example, in "refreshing" the font of a view after receiving the UIContentSizeCategoryDidChangeNotification notification.

Installation with CocoaPods

The easiest way to add UIView+AORefreshFont to your project is using CocoaPods.

Add the following to your podfile to include UIView+AORefreshFont in your workspace:

pod 'UIView+AORefreshFont', '~> 1.0'

Then simply run pod install as you normally would.

Alternatively, you can manually include UIView+AORefreshFont in your project by doing the following:

Clone/download this repository.
Drag and drop UIView+AORefreshFont.h and UIView+AORefreshFont.m into your project, making sure copy items into destination group's folder (if needed) is checked.
Drag and drop UIFont+AOTextStyle.h and UIFont+AOTextStyle.m into your project, making sure copy items into destination group's folder (if needed) is checked.

These files are dependencies of UIView+AORefreshFont.m.

Import UIView+AORefreshFont.h wherever you need to "refresh" the font of your text-input views (i.e. UILabel, UITextField, UITextView, etc) that use dynamic type font.
Whenever you receive the UIContentSizeCategoryDidChangeNotification notification, simply call AORefreshFont on each your text-input views. For example,
- (void)contentSizeCategoryDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification { [self.titleLabel AORefreshFont]; [self.subtitleLabel AORefreshFont]; }

Note: UIView+AORefreshFont gets the dynamic type "text style" from the view's font property and resets the font using this text style.

If you attempt to call AORefreshFont on a view whose font doesn't have a dynamic type text style, this method will do nothing.

If you attempt to call AORefreshFont on a view that doesn't have a font property, this method will do nothing.
