Motion Bindable

A simple data binding library for RubyMotion.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'motion_bindable'

And then execute:

$ bundle

If you want to use the default strategies that come with MotionBindable add this to your app_delegate.rb:

def application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launch_options)
  MotionBindable::Strategies.use
  true
end

Usage

Add include MotionBindable::Bindable to make an object bindable:

# Models

class Item
  include MotionBindable::Bindable
  attr_accessor :name
  attr_accessor :location

  def location
    @address ||= Address.new
  end
end

class Address
  attr_accessor :address
end

In your view controller, you can bind the object to a set of Views or any other object:

class ItemListViewController
  def viewDidLoad
    super
    @name_field = UITextField.alloc.initWithFrame [[110, 60], [100, 26]]
    @name_field.placeholder = "Name"
    view.addSubview @name_field

    @address_field = UITextField.alloc.initWithFrame [[110, 100], [100, 26]]
    @address_field.placeholder = "Address"
    view.addSubview @address_field

    @item = Item.new
    @item.bind_attributes({
      name: @name_field,
      location: {
        address: @address_field
      }
    })
  end
end

When @name_field.text or @address_field.text changes, so will your model!

Strategies

The above example uses the MotionBindable::Strategies::UITextField. which comes with MotionBindable. Take a look in lib/motion_bindable/strategies for the available defaults. You can implement your own strategies by extending MotionBindable::Strategy like so:
