#KALAyoutHelper (formerly iOS Layout Helper)
A work in progress aiming to add a layout mecanism (similar to android) to views in iOS. It's handy when you want to display a lot of data inside a scrollview for instance, without having to do all the frames adjustments based on the previous elements positions. 2 layout helpers are available : UIVerticalLayout and UIHorizontalLayout. In the last version you can put the content of a layout inside a block to have a better view of your layouts from within your code (it has no other purpose).
##Install
###Normal Install
Simply copy :
- KALayoutHelper.h
- UIVerticalLayout.h
- UIVerticalLayout.m
- UIHorizontalLayout.h
- UIHorizontalLayout.m
into your project folder and import KALayoutHelper.h
###Using cocoapods
add this line to your Podfile :
pod 'KALayoutHelper'
##Usage
// VERTICAL
__block UIVerticalLayout * blockVertical = verticalLayout;
[verticalLayout setContentBlock:^{
// Label
UILabel * labelV = [[UILabel alloc] init];
labelV.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:18];
labelV.text = @"Verticaly";
[blockVertical addSubview:labelV withPadding:20];
// TextViews
UITextView * textV1 = [[UITextView alloc] init];
textV1.text = @"Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores?";
[blockVertical addSubview:textV1 withPadding:10];
UITextView * textV2 = [[UITextView alloc] init];
textV2.text = @"Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium !";
[blockVertical addSubview:textV2 withPadding:10];
// Images
UIImageView * imageView1 = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"star"]];
[blockVertical addSubview:imageView1 withPadding:10 andHorizontalAlignment:KALayoutHorizontalAlignmentLeft];
UIImageView * imageView2 = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"star"]];
[blockVertical addSubview:imageView2 withPadding:10 andHorizontalAlignment:KALayoutHorizontalAlignmentCenter];
UIImageView * imageView3 = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"star"]];
[blockVertical addSubview:imageView3 withPadding:10 andHorizontalAlignment:KALayoutHorizontalAlignmentRight];
// Label
UILabel * labelV2 = [[UILabel alloc] init];
labelV2.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:18];
labelV2.text = @"Horizontaly";
[blockVertical addSubview:labelV2 withPadding:10];
// HORIZONTAL
UIHorizontalLayout * horizontalLayout = [[UIHorizontalLayout alloc] init];
[horizontalLayout setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithWhite:0.9 alpha:1]];
__block UIHorizontalLayout * blockHorizontal = horizontalLayout;
[horizontalLayout setContentBlock:^{
// TextViews
UITextView * textH1 = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,145,0)];
[textH1 setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
textH1.text = @"Iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veriticabo.";
[blockHorizontal addSubview:textH1];
UITextView * textH2 = [[UITextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,145,0)];
[textH2 setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
textH2.text = @"Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium atae vitae dicta sunt explicabo.";
[blockHorizontal addSubview:textH2 withPadding:10];
}];
[blockVertical addSubview:horizontalLayout withPadding:10];
}];##Result
