BFWControls

A framework to simplify building apps using Interface Builder.

Some useful resources:

• "Build an App Like Lego" tutorials - Steps through building an app visually, by building components, using BFWControls' NibTableViewCell. Assumes no coding or Xcode knowledge. https://medium.com/@barefeettom/build-app-lego-tutorial-1-58de8e84798d

BFWControls contains many features to simplify building apps visually, especially when using Interface Builder. Features include:

• NibReplaceable protocol with NibView, NibTableViewCell classes: Loading xib layouts into subclasses with no extra code.
• Adjustable protocol for UITableView: Sticky header and footer that remain stationery while the table scrolls.
• HidingStackView: A stack view that hides any subviews that have invisible contents (eg UILabel.text == nil and UIImageView.image == nil) or a UIStackView subview that has all of its subviews hidden. When a stack view has a hidden subview, it removes it from the arrangedSubviews, so the space it occupied is freed, essentially shrinking any unused space.
• UIView+NSLayoutConstraint: Convenient AutoLayout functions like pinToSuperviewEdges(), pinToSuperview(with inset: CGFloat)
• StaticTableViewController: excludedCells: easy dynamic show/hide cells and sections
• SegueHandlerType protocol: enum SegueIdentifier
• UIApplication: unwindToBackmostViewController()
• UIViewController+Unwind unwindToSelf() frontViewController
• DefaultsHandlerType protocol: Expose UserDefaults as named variables

bfwcontrols's Issues

Is it not allowed to use code to register collectionViewCell ?

If I register collectionViewCell in storyboard,it work well, but when I use a xib to create viewController,register collectionViewCell by code,it crash.

@IBDesignable
class EnterpriseUserCardCollectionViewCell: NibCollectionViewCell {
    override  func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()
        self.contentView.layer.cornerRadius = 8
        self.contentView.clipsToBounds = true
    }
}

class TestCollectionViewController: UIViewController,UICollectionViewDataSource {
    @IBOutlet weak var collectionView: UICollectionView!
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.collectionView.dataSource = self
        self.collectionView.register(UINib(nibName: "EnterpriseUserCardCollectionViewCell", bundle: .main), forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "EnterpriseUserCardCollectionViewCell")
    }
    
     func numberOfSections(in collectionView: UICollectionView) -> Int {
        return 1
    }


     func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return 10
    }

     func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
        let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "EnterpriseUserCardCollectionViewCell", for: indexPath)
        return cell
    }
}

Add to the CocoaPods Specs repo

I can't find BFWControls in the public CocoaPods specs.

How can I use it in Objective-C?

It work well in Swift，I use the same way to create Xib in Objective-C project,but it can not work，what else can I do？ Thank you.
