UIBaseKit

🤔So far, when coding for a view, we wrote a combination of configuration code, constraint code, and hierarchical code, resulting in a poor understanding of the source. So, I created a library that helps you separate this configuration code, constraint code, and hierarchical code to make it cleaner.

Usage

QuickStart

After inheriting from BaseViewController, override and implement the setupViews and setupConstraints methods.

import UIKit
import UIBaseKit

class SignUpViewController: BaseViewController {
  // MARK: - UI
  var usernameLabel: UILabel = {
    $0.textColor = .black
    $0.textAlignment = .right
    $0.font = .boldSystemFont(ofSize: 16.0)
    $0.text = "Username"
    return $0
  }(UILabel())

  ...

  var emailLabel: UILabel = {
    $0.textColor = .black
    $0.textAlignment = .right
    $0.font = .boldSystemFont(ofSize: 16.0)
    $0.text = "Email"
    return $0
  }(UILabel())

  ...

  /// After configure propertys for each view,
  /// return an array of views to add to the superview in desired order.
  override func setupViews() -> [CanBeSubview]? {
    // 1) configure views
    view.backgroundColor = .white
    registerKeyboardObservers()
    signUpButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(signUpButtonDidTouch), for: .touchUpInside)

    ...

    // 2) return subviews
    /** 😍 viewController`s view hierarchy
      → keyboardAvoidView
         → containerView
             → usernameLabel
             → usernameTextField
             → emailLabel
             → emailTextField
             → passwordLabel
             → passwordTextField
      → signUpButton
    */
    let hierarchy = [
      keyboardAvoidView.addSubviews(
        containerView.addSubviews(
          usernameLabel,
          usernameTextField,
          emailLabel,
          emailTextField,
          passwordLabel,
          passwordTextField
        )
      ),
      signUpButton
    ]
    return hierarchy
  }

  /// Configure the constraints for each view.
  override func setupConstraints() {
    // 3) set constraints for each view added to superview.
    // 🤓Note: I set constraints for each view using my favorite `FluidAnchor` library.
    // https://github.com/audrl1010/FluidAnchor

    keyboardAvoidView.flu
      .leftAnchor(equalTo: view.leftAnchor)
      .topAnchor(equalTo: view.topAnchor)
      .rightAnchor(equalTo: view.rightAnchor)
      .bottomAnchor(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor)

    containerView.flu
      .topAnchor(equalTo: view.topAnchor, constant: 60)
      .leftAnchor(equalTo: view.leftAnchor, constant: 15)
      .rightAnchor(equalTo: view.rightAnchor, constant: -15)
      .heightAnchor(equalToConstant: 180)

      ...
  }
}
