DDHTweaks

Tweak UI elements at runtime to find the perfect values.

What is it?

Tweaks lets you make changes to your iOS app while it is running. This is especially useful if you are not sure about the right font size, colors or if you want to hide certain functionallities from some of your testers.

Installation

SPM

Add the DDHTweaks package version 1.2.0.

Usage

If you project has a SceneDelegate.swift, replace scene(_:willConnectTo:options:) with the following implementation.

func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) {
  guard let scene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return }
  
  let root = window?.rootViewController
  window = ShakeableWindow(windowScene: scene)
  window?.rootViewController = root
  window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
}

If you don't have a SceneDelegate.swift set the window property in AppDelegate.swift to the following line of code.

var window: UIWindow? = ShakeableWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)

The tweaks from the gif above are created like this:

override func viewDidLoad() {
  20.tweak("Text/Size", min: 10, max: 40) { tweak in
    print(tweak)
    self.label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: CGFloat(tweak.currentValue!))
  }
}

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
  super.viewWillAppear(animated)
  
  label.textColor = UIColor.black.tweak("Text/Color")
  
  view.backgroundColor = UIColor.white.tweak("Background/Color")
  
  label.text = "Hello".tweak("Text/Text")
  
  button.isHidden = !false.tweak("Button/Show")
}

Build and run the App. In the Simulator go to Hardware/Shake Gesture.

If you add an action to a tweak this is run when ever the value is changed.

Thanks to facebook for the Objective-C version of Tweaks that I used as inspiration.
