AIMRemoteConfiguration 0.4

Maintained by Maciej Gad.

You want to add pod 'AIMRemoteConfiguration', '~> 0.4' similar to the following to your Podfile:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'AIMRemoteConfiguration', '~> 0.4'
end

Then run a pod install inside your terminal, or from CocoaPods.app.

Alternatively to give it a test run, run the command:

pod try AIMRemoteConfiguration

AIMRemoteConfiguration allows you to define a list of colors used in the app in JSON file and fetch it from the internet. It works in an asynchronous way. The app starts normally, fetches all data in the background, and applies all styles on next start, so the user doesn't see any loader at the beginning.

Usage

Add a category for UIColor:

#import "RemoteConfiguration.h"

@implementation UIColor (list)

+ (UIColor *)backgroundColor {
    return [RemoteConfiguration colorWithName:@"background"]?: [UIColor whiteColor];
}

+ (UIColor *)textColor {
    return [RemoteConfiguration colorWithName:@"text"]?: [UIColor blackColor];
}

@end

Setup in AppDelegate.m

#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "RemoteConfiguration.h"

@interface AppDelegate ()

@end

@implementation AppDelegate


- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    [RemoteConfiguration setup];
    return YES;
}
 @end

Add theme.json file with default config for your app:

{
    "colors": {
        "background": "##d35400",
        "text": "#000000"
    }
}

Add config to Info.plist:
- themeFileName - name of default config without extension (theme in our example)
- themeRemotePath - path to remote config (https://allinmobile.github.io/AIMRemoteConfiguration/remote_theme.json in our example) remember about HTTPS
Use in the app, i.e:

#import "ViewController.h"
#import "UIColor+list.h"

@interface ViewController ()
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *quotation;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *citation;
@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor backgroundColor];
    self.quotation.textColor = [UIColor textColor];
    self.citation.textColor = [UIColor textColor];
}


@end

Installation

Use the CocoaPods.

Add to your Podfile

pod 'AIMRemoteConfiguration'

and then call

pod install

and import

#import "RemoteConfiguration.h"
