Miel

Nothing but sugar for UIKit autolayout

Miel provides more elegant and declarative approach for build layout. Thanks to the power of the builder pattern this package provides more control over every constraint.

Example:

 Layout {
            label.layout
                .top
                .equal(to: view.layout.top)
                .constant(50)
            
            label.layout
                .width
                .equal(to: view.bounds.size.width / 2)
            
            button.layout
                .top
                .equal(to: label.layout.bottom)
                .constant(15)
            
            button.layout
                .leading
                .equal(to: view.layout.leading)
                .constant(15)
            
            button.layout
                .trailing
                .equal(to: view.layout.trailing)
                .constant(-15)
        }

Features

• Global result builder
• Ready to use
• More control over every anchor

Usage

Just install package via Swift Package Manager and you will able to call "buildLayout" method. The method returns a prototype for customization. All the usual properties such as top, leading, height and so on are available for constraint customization

button.buildLayout { prototype in
            prototype
                .height
                .equal(to: 50)
            
            prototype
                .width
                .equal(to: 130)
        }

This library has been designed for more elegant use. The library provides a Layout structure that allows you to describe constraints for any View within a closure. Example:

Layout {
            label.layout
                .top
                .equal(to: view.layout.top)
                .constant(50)
            
            label.layout
                .width
                .equal(to: view.bounds.size.width / 2)
            
            button.layout
                .top
                .equal(to: label.layout.bottom)
                .constant(15)
            
            button.layout
                .leading
                .equal(to: view.layout.leading)
                .constant(15)
            
            button.layout
                .trailing
                .equal(to: view.layout.trailing)
                .constant(-15)
        }
