WybroStarter

This pod contains a collection of Swift extensions that reduce boilerplate code in new iOS projects

Getting Started

Add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'WybroStarter'

Swift Extensions

We have added new functionality to UIView, NSLayoutConstraint and UIColor to make it easier to build projects without xib files

UIView

Constraints

Specify that a view will be using constraints. A good time to do this is while the view is being added as a subview:

view.addSubview(yourView.usingConstraints())

Centering

Center a view horizontally or vertically within another view:

let horizontal = yourView.center(in: view, type: .horizontal)
let vertical = yourView.center(in: view, type: .vertical)

NSLayoutConstraint

Create constraints for multiple views and formats with VFL:

let constraints = NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(
      formats: ["V:|[view]|",
                "H:|[view]|"],
      views: ["view": yourView]
)

A nice pattern to follow involves creating a function to return the constraints you want and chaining an activate to enable all of the constraints:

func layoutConstraints() -> [NSLayoutConstraint] {
  // create constraints here
  return constraints
}

layoutConstraints().activate()

UIColor

Create an instance of UIColor using a hex string:

let color = UIColor(hex: "FFFFFF")
