Class: MotionKit::ViewLayout

Defined in:
lib/motion-kit/layouts/view_layout.rb

Overview

A sensible parent class for any View-like layout class. Platform agnostic. Any platform-specific tasks are offloaded to child views (add_child, remove_child). Actually, "view like" is misleading, since technically it only assumes "tree like". You could use a ViewLayout subclass to construct a hierarchy representing a family tree, for instance. But that would be a silly use of MotionKit.

Dynamic Method Handling

Class Method Details

.view(name) ⇒ Object

This is an attr_reader-like method that also calls build_view if the assigned to ivars in your layout method.

Examples:

class MyLayout < MK::Layout
  view :label
  view :login_button

  def layout
    # if element id and attr name match, no need to assign to ivar
    add UILabel, :label
    # if they don't match you must assign.  If you are using
    # Key-Value observation you should use the setter:
    self. = add UIButton, :button
  end

end

Instance Method Details

#add(element, element_id = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Delegates to create to instantiate a view and run a layout block, and adds the view to the current view on the view stack. If no view exists on the stack, a default root view can be created if that has been enabled.

#root(element, element_id = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Assign a view to act as the 'root' view for this layout. This method can only be called once, and must be called before add is called for the first time (otherwise add will create a default root view). This method must be called from inside layout, otherwise you should just use create.

You can also call this method with just an element_id, and the default root view will be created.
