MotionAwesome - as if more awesomeness was needed...

FontAwesome (http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome) is a really cool way to bring in some low cost bang! to your web applications. Following on that lead, MotionAwesome brings similar awesomeness to the IOS world...

For the star-gizzards ;-)

> git clone https://github.com/derailed/motion-awesome.git
> cd motion-awesome
> rake

Installation

gem install motion-awesome

If you are using Bundler in your Rubymotion, you can add the gem to your Gemfile and run bundle install:

gem 'motion-awesome'

The FontAwesome font file will automatically be copied to your resources folder. Make sure to include the font in your Rakefile:

# ...
Motion::Project::App.setup do |app|
  # ...

  app.fonts = ['fontawesome-webfont.ttf']
end

Dependencies

motion-map [https://github.com/derailed/motion-map]

Issues? Try this!

If you are adding motion-awesome to an existing project, you may run into a common issue with RubyMotion where the added font file is not copied from the resources. To fix this simply run a rake clean and then try again.

Usage

Creating awesome labels

class WannaBeCoolController < XXXController
  include MotionAwesome

  def viewDidLoad
    label( :flag, size: 200 ) do |label|
      self.view.addSubview(label)
    end
  end
end

Creating awesome buttons

class WannaBeCoolController < XXXController
  def viewDidLoad
    MotionAwesome.button( :legal, size: 40, text:%q{Hit me!} ) do |button|
      button.titleLabel.textColor = 0xFB3223.uicolor
      button.titleLabel.font      = UIFont.fontWithName( 'GillSans', size:30 )
      button.addTarget( self,
                        action: "cb:",
                        forControlEvents: UIControlEventTouchUpInside )
      self.view.addSubview( button )
    end
  end
end

Settings

What's my name?

With MotionAwesome you have access to all the latest icons available on the FontAwesome site.

In order to specify the icon name you can use a symbol for the name minus the 'icon-' prefix and sub out the '-' with '_'. Simple!

FontAwesome     => MotionAwesome
fa-flag         => :flag
fa-star-o       => :star_o

Options

Awesomization is currently in effect for UILabel and UIButton.

The method signatures following this strategy:

 awesome_label  = label( :icon_name, opts ) do {|comp| ... }
 awesome_button = button( :icon_name, opts ) do {|comp| ... }

Options are as follows:

size: specifies the size of the icon. To size the text portion you can set the font of your liking. If no size is specified the icon will be sized according to the active font size.
type: :custom | :rounded. Specifies the type of UIButton to create -- For button only! -
text: prepends some text to your decorated label or button.
color: sets the icon color. If this is not set the icon color will match the text color if specified.

ATTA BOY!
