Layout
The layout of the InputBarAccessoryView
is made of of 4 InputStackView
's and an InputTextView
. The padding of the subviews can be easily adjusted by changing the padding
and textViewPadding
properties. The constraints will automatically be updated.
It is important to note that each of the InputStackView
's to the left and right of the InputTextView
are anchored by a width constraint. This way the InputTextView
will always fill the space inbetween in addition to providing methods that can easily be called to hide all buttons to the right or left of the InputTextView
by setting the width constraint constant to 0. The bottom and top stack views are not height constraint and rely on their intrinsicContentSize
func setLeftStackViewWidthConstant(to newValue: CGFloat, animated: Bool)
func setRightStackViewWidthConstant(to newValue: CGFloat, animated: Bool)
Reactive Hooks
Each InputBarButtonItem
has properties that can hold actions that will be executed during various hooks such as the button being touched, the UITextView
text changing and more! Thanks to these easy hooks with a few lines of code the items can be easily resized and animated similar to that of the Facebook messenger app.
// MARK: - Hooks
