Reasons

Sometimes, we maybe build some views repeatedly. Because we think that they just will be used under a condition. It's the curse of breaking the rule: DRY. In fact, If we are conscious of view's reusing, we will make more efforts to make it completely independent.

So for recording my growth, for writing less codes, for better tomorrow......

I should create this repository to summary some UI(cocoa Touch) extensions that are likely to be used in our work.

List

UIButton

• Set image alignment:

button.zon.setImage(image, imageAlignment:.top, spacing:0, state:.normal)

Effect just like this:

UIImage

• Generate QR code:

QRImageView.image =UIImage.zon.qrImage(content:"我(I) you 🤣", size:CGSize(width:200, height:200))

The QR code image as follows:

• Rotate image with degree by clockwise.
• Compose image with color.
• Tint image with color.
• Read gif file.

UIImageView

• Save image of UIImageView to album by Photos:

imageView.zon.saveImage(completion:@escaping(Result<UIImage,Error>)-> Void)

UIView

• Edit action:

myLabel.zon.asMenuTrigger([MenuItem(title:"test", action: #selector(testAction))])

• Get view controller who contains itself by response chain.
• Shortcuts of frame.
• Hotspot. Expand or shrink user interaction area with AOP.

letbutton=UIButton()
// Expand(negative value) or shrink(positive value) extra hotspot area.
button.zon.extraArea =.init(top:10, left:10, bottom:10, right:10)
// Specify minimum positive hotspot size. View will expand its bounds for Hit-Test equally to fit it.
button.zon.minimumSize =.init(width:44, height:44)

• Add gradient layer:

letview=UIView()letlayer= view.zon.gradientLayer // GradationSettable, view will add sublayer automatically.
protocolGradationSettable:AnyObject{varlocations:[CGFloat]{getset}varcolors:[UIColor]{getset}varstartPoint:CGPoint{getset}varendPoint:CGPoint{getset}}

• Add touchUpInside event action like UIButton with highlighted status:

view.zon.onTouchUpInside(canceller:OutOfBoundsCanceller()){
// do something.
}

UIViewController

• The time interval of browsing view:

scene.zon.enableDurationTrack()
scene.zon.duration

• Add/Remove child.

UINavigationController

• Get a visiable navigation controller can push and pop view controller.

UIPasteboard

• Get/Set sring/image from background queue.

UIStackView

• Remove all arranged views.
• Set layout padding and background color.

UITableView

• Reuse
• Scroll to bottom.

UICollectionView

• Reuse
• Scroll to bottom.

UIColor

• Init color with hex string like: prefix -> #/0x, suffix -> RGB/RGBA/RRGGBB/RRGGBBAA.
