Not using storyboard example in mac OS

The damn macOS and iOS projects were made angry by letting me study how to avoid the storyboard.

So I made an example. I do not want everyone to do trial and error like I do.

Installation

There is nothing to install. Download this project.

enjoy!

Explanation

Create a new project. Then it is made as follows.

The reason that the storyboard is turned on first in the app is because AppDelegate.swift is main and Storyboard is registered as NSMainStoryboardFile in info.plist. Let's erase it as follows.

delete Storyboard too.

And when it is executed, it is not executed.

The reason is that NSMainStoryboardFile has Main as Storyboard. But we deleted it. Main Storyboard does not exist.

Let's create a new Main and replace it.

Create the main.swift file.

import Cocoa

autoreleasepool { () -> () in
    let application = NSApplication.shared()
    let delegate = AppDelegate()
    application.delegate = delegate
    application.run()
}

Delete NSApplicationMain from AppDelegate.swift. And add the source code.

import Cocoa

class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {

    var newWindow: NSWindow?

    func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) {
        newWindow = NSWindow(contentViewController: ViewController())

        newWindow!.makeKeyAndOrderFront(nil)
    }
    func applicationWillTerminate(_ aNotification: Notification) {
    // Insert code here to tear down your application
    }
}

add the source code ViewController.swift too.

import Cocoa

class ViewController: NSViewController {

    override open func loadView() {
        let view = NSView(frame: NSMakeRect(0,0,500,300))
        view.wantsLayer = true
        view.layer?.borderWidth = 2
        view.layer?.borderColor = NSColor.red.cgColor
        self.view = view
    }
}

And when it is executed, it is not executed. go to info.plist, add Principal class and NSApplication

If you run it, the window will be created normally.
