- iOS and Mac OS X platforms currently in use the fastest the simplest development to build the UI layout automatically open source library, strong dynamic layout constraint handling capacity - Service to update constraints, convenient and quick dynamic UI layout. The project is written primarily in Objective-C, distributed under the MIT License license, first published in 2016. Key topics include: autocellheight, autolayout, masnory, uistackview, whc.

  • iOS and Mac OS X platforms currently in use the fastest the simplest development to build the UI layout automatically open source library, strong dynamic layout constraint handling capacity
  • Service to update constraints, convenient and quick dynamic UI layout.

Swift4.+ version 👉 WHC_Layout

修改ios11安全布局机制增加whc_IsSafe控制api
布局api内部自动支持兼容处理iphonex头部齐刘海和底部黑线

添加UILayoutGuide,safeAreaLayoutGuide约束支持

添加抗拉伸和抗压缩api支持链式调用

Introduce

  • Adopt chain layout Api calls convenient
  • Include one line of code to calculate UITableViewCell highly module
  • Contains WHC_StackView module (UIStackView purpose alternative system)
  • Automatic identification of the same type conflict and update the new constraints
  • Support change constraints priority
  • Support delete constraints
  • Support iOS and Mac OS X
  • Automatic covering and modify the conflict with type constraints

Require

  • iOS 8.0+ / Mac OS X 10.11+ / tvOS 9.0+
  • Xcode 8.0 or later

Note

  • When the view call removeFromSuperview the view must call whc_ResetConstraints to clear the cache constraint

Install

  • CocoaPods: pod 'WHC_AutoLayoutKit'

Usage

UILayoutGuide,safeAreaLayoutGuide

objective
UILayoutGuide * guide = UILayoutGuide.new; UIView * view = UIView.new; guide.whc_LeftSpace(10) .whc_TopSpaceToView(0, self.view.safeAreaLayoutGuide) .whc_RightSpace(10) .whc_Height(30); view.whc_LeftSpace(10) .whc_RightSpace(10) .whc_TopSpaceToView(0, guide) .whc_Height(50);

Automatic height view

objective
view.whc_LeftSpace(10) .whc_TopSpace(10) .whc_RightSpace(10) .whc_HeightAuto();

Use lessEqual or greaterEqual (width <= 100 && width >= 20)

objective
view.whc_Width(100).whc_LessOrEqual() .whc_Width(20).whc_GreaterOrEqual()

Masonry/SnapKit update the constraint way unfriendly

objective
[view mas_updateConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) { make.top.equalTo(superview.mas_top).with.offset(10); make.left.equalTo(superview.mas_left).with.offset(20); make.bottom.equalTo(superview.mas_bottom).with.offset(-10); make.right.equalTo(superview.mas_right).with.offset(-10); }];

Update the view constraints

Modify the view to the left from 20 other views

objective
view.whc_LeftSpace(20); // or view.whc_LeftSpaceToView(20,otherView);

Can be directly modified constraints on the Xib and Storyboard

If the view of xib leading now amended as left constraints

objective
/// First remove the xib view of leading and then add new constraints view.whc_RemoveLayoutAttrs(NSLayoutAttributeLeading) .whc_LeftSpace(10);

Remove the constraint

Remove all constraints associated with view left

objective
view.whc_RemoveLayoutAttrs(NSLayoutAttributeLeft);

To remove multiple constraints associated with view

objective
view.whc_RemoveLayoutAttrs(NSLayoutAttributeLeft,NSLayoutAttributeLeading,NSLayoutAttributeTop); // or view.whc_RemoveTo(linkView, attrs: NSLayoutAttributeLeft ...);

Modify the view constraint priority

Modify the view constraint for low priority right

objective
view.whc_RightSpace(10) .whc_PriorityLow();
objective
// The higher the priority, the less likely to be stretched // 设置抗拉伸优先级,优先级越高越不容易被拉伸 label.whc_ContentHuggingPriority(UILayoutPriorityDefaultLow, UILayoutConstraintAxisHorizontal); // 设置抗压缩优先级,优先级越高越不容易被压缩 // Compression priority, the higher the priority the less easy to be compressed label.whc_ContentCompressionResistancePriority(UILayoutPriorityDefaultLow, UILayoutConstraintAxisHorizontal);

One line of code calculation cell height

No reuse way calculated cell height

objective
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { return [UITableViewCell whc_CellHeightForIndexPath:indexPath tableView:tableView]; }

Reuse way calculated cell height

objective
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { return [UITableViewCell whc_CellHeightForIndexPath:indexPath tableView:tableView identifier:@"kFirendsCircleCellIdentifier" layoutBlock:^(UITableViewCell *cell) { /// use model layout cell [(FriendsCircleCell *)cell setFriendModel:_friendModelArray[indexPath.row]]; }]; }

Use WHC_StackView

Create WHC_StackView

objective
WHC_StackView * stackView = [WHC_StackView new]; [self.view addSubview: stackView];

Add constraint

objective
stackView.whc_LeftSpace(10) .whc_TopSpace(10) .whc_RightSpace(10) .whc_HeightAuto();

Configuration stackView

1. Set the padding

objective
stackView.whc_Edge = UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 10, 10, 10); // 内边距

2. Set the layout direction

objective
stackView.whc_Orientation = Vertical; // 自动垂直布局

3. Set the child views lateral clearance

objective
stackView.whc_HSpace = 10; // 子视图横向间隙

4. Set the child views vertical clearance

objective
stackView.whc_VSpace = 10; // 子视图垂直间隙

5. Add subview and start the layout

objective
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) { UIView * view = [UIView new]; [stackView addSubview:view]; } [stackView whc_StartLayout];

Prompt

For more UI layout automatically, WHC_StackView components, one line of code to calculate the cell height module, please download this demo to check the specific usage
