IOS

Issue #24 There is Lighter View Controllers, and there is Lighter AppDelegate, too Since working with iOS, I really like the delegate pattern, in which it helps us defer the decision to another party. The iOS application delegates its event to AppDelegate, which over time will be a big mess. Usually, the AppDelegate is where you put your root view controller setup, crash tracking, push notification, debugging, … and we just somehow violent the Single Responsibility principle....

Issue #23 hasAmbiguousLayout Returns whether the constraints impacting the layout of the view incompletely specify the location of the view. exerciseAmbiguityInLayout This method randomly changes the frame of a view with an ambiguous layout between its different valid values, causing the view to move in the interface. This makes it easy to visually identify what the valid frames are and may enable the developer to discern what constraints need to be added to the layout to fully specify a location for the view....

Issue #22 In the beginning, people use frame and Autoresizing Mask, then they use Auto Layout, then iOS 9 encourages them to use NSLayoutAnchor, UILayoutGuide and UIStackView For more convenient Auto Layout, check How to make Auto Layout more convenient in iOS and Anchors NSLayoutAnchor The NSLayoutAnchor class is a factory class for creating NSLayoutConstraint objects using a fluent API. Use these constraints to programmatically define your layout using Auto Layout....

Issue #20 The other day I was doing refresh control, and I saw this Swift Protocols with Default Implementations as UI Mixins extension Refreshable where Self: UIViewController { /// Install the refresh control on the table view func installRefreshControl() { let refreshControl = UIRefreshControl() refreshControl.tintColor = .primaryColor refreshControl.addTarget(self, action: #selector(handleRefresh(_:)), for: .valueChanged) self.refreshControl = refreshControl if #available(iOS 10.0, *) { tableView.refreshControl = refreshControl } else { tableView.backgroundView = refreshControl } } } Protocol extension is cool but somehow I’m not a fan of it....

Issue #1 I’ve used Wordpress, then moved to GitHub Pages with Jekyll, Octopress, Hexo, Hugo. You can view my page here http://fantageek.com/. It was good with all the custom themes and Disqus But then I was a bit lazy with all the commands generate, commit, deploy, it hinders me from writing, so I moved to Medium. The only thing I like about Medium is its discovery, your posts have high chanced of finding and viewing by people....
