Require SimpleView in Rakefile

$:.unshift("/Library/RubyMotion/lib")require'motion/project'require'simple-view'Motion::Project::App.setupdo |app|

Everything inside setup block will be added to the view automatically.

Style Template

Experimental. Might change in future.

Define a style and apply to multiple views with ease.

classAppDelegatedefapplication(application,didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions)UI::Styles.define:tag_label,font: "italic 13",text_color: "#999"endendclassViewControllerdefviewDidLoadUI::Layouts.setup(view,controller: self)dolabelstyles: :tag_label,text: "Left",anchors: [:left]labelstyles: :tag_label,text: "Right",anchors: [:right]endendend

View anchoring

UI::Layouts.setup(view)dotoolbarbottom: 10,left: 10,right: 10,anchors: [:bottom]end

Passing in locals

Hash parameters will automatically turns into instance variable within the block

defviewDidLoadUI::Layouts.setup(view,controller: self)dotable_viewdelegate: @controller,dataSource: @controllerendend

View tagging with string

No need to declare ivar, no need to use integer tag, just name your view and access it by the name.

defviewDidLoadUI::Layouts.setup(view)dolabelname: "price_label"# give a name to the labelendenddefsomeOtherMethodview.subview("price_label")# get the labelend
