Elements

Out of the box, QuickDialog provides several elements:

• QLabelElement: simple inline label and value cell, like a plain UITableViewCell
• QBadgeElement: like the label cell, but the value is displayed with a badge, like the Mail app
• QBooleanElement: shows a UISwitch
• QButtonElement: has a centered title that looks like a button
• QDateTimeElement: allows the editing of dates, time, or date&time values. Editing occurs in a new controller that is pushed automatically
• QEntryElement: input field to allow you to collect values from the user. Automatically resizes so that all entries in the same section look alike
• QDecimalElement: like a QEntryElement, but allows only numbers, automatically limited to a predefined number of decimal places
• QFloatElement: shows a UISlider to allow floating-point input
• QMapElement: when selected, shows a fullscreen map with the location selected. Requires a lat/long value.
• QRadioElement: allows user to select one of multiple options available. Automatically pushes a new table with the item to be selected
• QTextElement: freeform text input, rendered in the font provided
• QWebElement: pushes a simple browser that opens the URL defined in the element.

All those elements contain a few parameters that can be used:

• key: used to set the name of every cell, so that you can find them automatically. This field is also used to read values back from each cell.
• controllerAction: string that represents the controller method that will be called when the cell is selected. Many elements automatically display a disclosure indicator if this property is set.
• onSelected: block that is executed the moment the cell is selected. Many elements automatically display a disclosure indicator if this property is set.

Sections

Sections are simple groupings of elements. Sections by default have a few properties:

• title/footer: simple strings displayed as header and footer of the section
• headerView/footerView: in case these are set, the views passed are displayed instead of the titles. Very useful to display images or custom views in tables.

Besides those properties, a few custom section types can be used:

• QRadioSection: display multiple choice elements inline, instead of pushing another view controller with the options.
• QSortingSection: automatically enables sorting of the cells inside the section.
